TRACK DAY REQUIREMENTS

[JENX!!!]

somebody from my work is asking....are supermoto's ok for the track day? Im assuming yes....what kind of riding gear does he need?

[n10sive]

they run all the time at the track. They need the same riding gear that you do for your sport bike.
See the trackday dress code.

[JENX!!!]

Thats what i thought......Im gonna try to recruit him. thanks.

[russtman]

Put him in C group for the slower pace that the super motards do.

HA. I have seen some motards kick some serious tail in A group. They don't do the straights as fast but they kick ass in the twisties. RFR is a great motard track

So on my bike if I unplug the fuse for my rear running lights it kills my whole instrument cluster. I can however take the fuses out for head lights and brake lights. Is it nessesary for me to tape over my running lights since they won't be blinking?

[MotoPutz]

Mine will be in my truck and I will throw some electrical tape on the lights before I come. Thanks...

Bump! Please see first post.

I'd like to add:

Incorrect chain slack was the major technical infraction at past SSA track days. RTFM. If you can't get it just right, error on the loose side.

Clutch and brake lever ball ends should be intact, not broken off. No spiked bar ends, spiked frame sliders, spiked levers, etc.

Hey yard sale, I shaved my levers cause I liked them shorter. they are all smoothed down and gentle to the touch, but no balls  Is this a problem? PLEASE tell me I dont have to go get new levers now...

[n10sive]

who is doing tech that checks all that? You guys hire some AFMers? 

[Yard Sale]

The ball ends on levers are there to keep you (or somebody else) from getting impaled by them.

What about the razor sharp rocks on the infield? or hitting a cement block on the front straight? Or the sharp stunning good looks of a new r6? I'm not trying to be a dick, just dont wanna have to go by levers to ride the track! I had them cut last year, and at the $75 days and it wasnt an issue... anyone got some foam floaties I can glue to the end

You can try to get them past tech, but if one of us decides they are unsafe you won't be able to ride.  2stroke isn't trying to be a dick either, he is just doing what he can to make sure all of the bikes on the track are safe.  Stock levers are cheap and easy to get at the last moment, plus it's good to have spares.  Or you can buy shorty levers that have the ball on them.

I believe the same people who did tech last year will be doing it again this year.  Myron, Eric, me and probably a couple of others.

hey...I have done tech before too...but somebody forgot to forward the memo on clutch levers so I let some go by! LOL

[Yard Sale]

There's no memo; I found this thread when searching for tech requirements. I was just making suggestions.
