How To Prep Your Motorcycle For A Track Day from SportbikeTrackGear.com

[@nesbittracing1081]

I was worried I'd have to buy a bunch of new parts for all the safety wiring. Thank you for the video! Now I feel I know what to expect

You are welcome and thank you for watching! - Van

Hell of a way to break in a 0 mile bike

[@brakes940]

Mr Rongld Bringer bro I was thinking the same thing

[@puffadderglowkit3126]

yeah this guy is bad to bone on bikes ,im sure he's smart enough to know not to redline until it breaks in ..lol

[@orlandoducati]

I don't understand why different tracks want you to prep the bike differently.. I've seen tracks require your sprocket to be wired. I enjoy your videos, just started to use your site for parts and these videos are informative.. Can you do some track day riding tips, that would be awesome. FYI, maybe use the size chart on your shirt 😋

[@wrxzboost]

sprocket seems excessive unless it's a one sided swing arm. also, different tracks have different requirements.

Great vid!!! I hope to do my first track day this yr. As long as I run out of excuses lol

[@TEAMWRIGHTEOUS]

So where is the video from the track day?

[@seventysevencats]

It's much more lenient in the UK, especially not having to change the coolant.

[@sportbiketrackgear]

Not changing the coolant surprises me a little. It is harder to clean green coolant off the surface than oil when a spill occurs. Perhaps the difference between the US and UK for track day tech is the number of lawyers we have in the US? - Van

@@sportbiketrackgear Ha Ha - you are most probably right there !!! bike is the owners responsibility in the UK, they will pull you off track if they notice something wrong but otherwise its push on !

[@barcherda]

I'm curious, why do you have to tape off the lights if you're pulling the fuses/wires? Or vice versa. I thought the intention of taping off the lights was to block the light.

[@sportbiketrackgear]

The idea behind it is to prevent shattered glass or plastic from being spread in the event of a crash. - Van

[@youngmonger4502]

Do you need to pull fuses when you disconnect turning signals, rear brake, licence plate, headlights?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

If you disconnect the lights there is no need to pull the fuses. - Van

[@moton8tion866]

What about the psr oil cap and drain plugs that come with the clip and wire? Will those pass inspection in most cases?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

Yes those will pass tech. - Van

[@alexion4010]

Monster absolute zero.....I like your style

[@DmanGuitar327]

blue monsters are the best!

[@sportbiketrackgear]

Love this bike for sure! - Van

[@Aint1S]

This was a great video for the community of would-be trackday riders! BTW, that blue painter's tape looks good and I ain't pulling your leg either! I'd had no idea that Suzuki actually commissioned a white and black 1000r... IDK why they would do that, they end up looking like an ugly busa in white.

[@DominicanOps]

What's up with all this wiring? My organization says just to tape up the bike and put engine ice and I am good to go.

[@sportbiketrackgear]

Every org is different and many also have different requirements for each class. The group we ride with requires safety wiring of the filter, drain plug and filler plug in advanced and intermediate only. - Van

[@DominicanOps]

Out of curiosity, why for those groups and not for novice? I did my first track day last month at Palm Beach and it was a great time. Will be doing my second one in September and want to make sure I am good to go.

[@sportbiketrackgear]

Most orgs will make the tech requirements for their novice group (typically this group will be for riders new to the race track) a little less difficult to pass making it easier for a new rider to get out on the track to see if this is something they enjoy or not. The bike still needs to be safe, just not held to all of the same standards as a more advanced rider who has been to the track numerous times. - Van

[@DominicanOps]

Sportbike Track Gear that makes sense. I did my first one on a rental and it was convenient but I will be doing my next on this September on my R6. I don't even know what tire pressure to run. Or if my tires are still good for the track. I have Power RS with about 3200 miles on 'em of Florida riding aka straight lines.

[@ozzy1280]

Thanks for the info Van !!! Do you think front and rear axle sliders actually do anything if you after have a big frame slider attached ?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

Every bike is different and every crash is unique. I have had crashes that damaged the axle nut and others that did not. Max fell on the R3 at Barber this summer (lowside in turn 5) that left some damage on the front axle bolt. Unfortunately we did not have sliders on the axle when he fell. - Van

[@ozzy1280]

@@sportbiketrackgear I'll probably throw some on anyway just to be on the safe side. Thanks for the quick replies and amazing videos mate !!!!

[@yassinebouzir1040]

waw this is my dream bike tanks

[@quinweller5242]

picked up a zero mile 636 should I be worried about engine break in before I hit the track?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

No, just make sure to heat cycle it before you take it out a couple times. - Van

[@steffydog]

Awesome

[@sandan1310]

❤️❤️❤️

[@badass1g]

Goodness sakes that’s alotta work. And then alotta money to hit the track. Ugh

For a minute I wanted to be a Police Officer but I switched gears before I got there. - Van
