675 first track outing

just took my wifes 675 out for its first track run. immediately turning times the same as my 04 955. and that's me being nervous running stock body and stock rubber. lord help me if i crash her bike . anyways, when going into right handers with a fair amount of trail braking, i notice somewhat of a chatter. doesnt seem to happen on any left handers. i am more of a lefty, but have no problem gettin down in the rights either, but i seem to have this problem when switching from left to right side trail braking in. never have this prob on the 955. wife has set the suspension up to flush on the triple, gonna try a 2 mm rise next time out, but both sides are identical with a digital caliper. brake pads to seem to squeal somewhat all the way around the track. any suggestions? i am leanin towards it just being a pad issue and we have not taken them off yet to check for uneven wear. these are stock originals, and only have 1500 miles street and 250 miles track. if the suggestion is to swap pads, can u recommend a good set. i love going in hot and braking late. just trying to learn myself that i can still brake later. sucks to think ur doing something and braking like a mad person only to have every body else pass by like ur sitting still lol! we live in sc and just went to carolina motorsports park with her bike. anyone here been that direction before? anyways, i appreciate any input u guys have to offer. thanks

The chatter could be a lot of things... What tires were you running and at what pressures? Do they have any street miles on them and if so how many? Could be cupping on the front tire. I would doubt that it is the pads. The stock pads are really great. I am running stock pads on both my bikes and have never had an issue on the street or on the track.

We were running the stock Pirelli. Warmers on low. At temp pressure 32 front 30 rear. Approx 1000 hard street miles 500 easy miles (the miles I put on them). He will have new tires before he's on the track again. The brakes started to squeak on the road also but I assumed it was because he sat for a bit between rides. We'll let you guys know when we find out more...
