Cadwell Park Track Day - 19th August 2024 - Adv. Group Session 6 - Triumph Street Triple 765 RS

Cadwell Park Track Day on the 19th of August 2024. This is the 6th session, I think! My GoPro 11 continually failed, so I resorted to using my old Hero 6 and guessing which session this is.

I ended up speaking to the guy on the R1 and his friend who also appears in some more footage I will upload from these two days I spent at Cadwell.

The bike: Triumph Street Triple 765 RS Cosmic Yellow 23/24MY. It is mostly standard, including number plate and lights.

Tyres: This is the second time I have used these Michelin Power Cup 2 tyres. I use tyre warmers. At Cadwell on a dry day of 20 degrees Celsius or so, they only just about held up. The grip was great and they felt confident, but I found by the end of the day that the rear had had enough and started sliding on the predominantly right hand turns. (See my subsequent Donington Park Track comments on how the rear failed there.) The Cup 2 is a road tyre. Whilst it offers loads of grip and a feeling of confidence on the track up to the intermediate group level, on a warm day riding as quick as I could they were eventually over their heat range I think. This was sooner than the original Pirelli Supercorsas. If you are not riding quite this hard or are riding on a much colder track, you may prefer the Michelins.

Most of the additions on the bike are just for protection - by EvoTech and GB Racing (recommended), except for the front brake pads which are EBC GPFAX. These pads work well to avoid any fading, but I never even tried the standard pads out on track to find out how well they work.

The engine is standard, the exhaust is standard unfortunately, the gearing is standard (because Triumph restrict you from altering it, l've tried) and it has no ECU mapping modification at all (until someone hopefully eventually offers this for these newer MY23/24 model bikes).
