SV racing body


Anyone have a good source for racing bodywork. I have some stuff queued up in cheapcycleparts.com, but there shipping time is super long.Specifically for SV650s 2006. via /r/Trackdays https://www.reddit.com/r/Trackdays/comments/ginuxx/sv_racing_body/?utm_source=ifttt

Ninja 400 vs RC 390 for a novice dedicated track machine


Background: I’ve done a few track days in my Monster 821. Obviously, I became very addicted to it. I intended to get more regular at it this year and was planning on getting a middleweight supersport (R6 or GSXR600) as a dedicated track machine. Now that Covid 19 struck and delayed my plans, it gave a lot of time to contemplate.I wonder if starting with middleweight is actually a wise decision. I’ve seen all the expert riders start small (they mostly stop in a middleweight?!). Maybe the smaller ones are more forgiving and I can get the basics nailed down before adding speed to the mix. I hope that sounds reasonable?Given that, I narrowed down to RC 390 and Ninja 400. They both seem like a good option and a noob like probably cannot bring the best out of any of them (at least not yet ;) ). What would you recommend?Another interesting thing I found was that a new RC 390 or 400 costs the same (if not less) than a track prepped one. Why would anyone get the latter if they can get new ones and customize for their needs incrementally?Thanks! via /r/Trackdays https://www.reddit.com/r/Trackdays/comments/ggt07n/ninja_400_vs_rc_390_for_a_novice_dedicated_track/?utm_source=ifttt

Tire pressure? Got a track day on Sunday


I'm running Dunlop Q3s on my Ninja 400; for track days, what's recommended? Factory pressure? Lower for more grip? More for quicker steering? via /r/Trackdays https://www.reddit.com/r/Trackdays/comments/gg7ua3/tire_pressure_got_a_track_day_on_sunday/?utm_source=ifttt

Breaking in the new suit! Thanks to all who helped me with the race suit fit question I had yesterday

Likelihood of crashing at first track day?


Hey guys,Gearing up for my first track day soon. I've got the leathers and I'm fixing up everything on my bike. I'm planning on attending the track day in June but will be moving to a different country and selling my bike in August.I'm starting to get nervous about what might happen if I bin it on track and can't sell my bike before I go. I'd like to use the money from selling to get a new bike after I move so busting up the plastics would kind of suck.What're the odds of going down on a first track day? I think I'm a decent street rider but I'll probably be in the slow group since I'm sure that I'm overestimating my abilities.Thanks in advance! via /r/Trackdays https://www.reddit.com/r/Trackdays/comments/gfiov0/likelihood_of_crashing_at_first_track_day/?utm_source=ifttt

Nidyanazo | does anyone remember him? Dead?


Dude was very polarizing here, so people should remember him well.I looked him up a few days ago out of curiosity and found that all his accounts fell silent around a year ago.I’m wondering if he had an accident and/or died or whether he just packed it up and moved on. via /r/Trackdays https://www.reddit.com/r/Trackdays/comments/gez3cy/nidyanazo_does_anyone_remember_him_dead/?utm_source=ifttt

Question about race suit fit


Hi all, I just received my Dainese Assen 2 Race Suit today and it’s really uncomfortable on the crotch area when off bike. While on a bike, it feels fine. I put on a back protector and a book to mimic a chest protector but I could barely zip it up. Should I try to break it in first or should I size up? I understand a race fit will be really snug but it was uncomfortably snug when I tried on. Any inputs will be greatly appreciated! Thanks. via /r/Trackdays https://www.reddit.com/r/Trackdays/comments/geybkk/question_about_race_suit_fit/?utm_source=ifttt

Does anyone own Dainese Assen 2 Perf. Race Suit?


If you do, can you tell me if there’s an insert for a back protector? Does it have a single layer of leather in the seat or additional protection? I just ordered mine and couldn’t find any reviews on the suit. via /r/Trackdays https://www.reddit.com/r/Trackdays/comments/ge9ld0/does_anyone_own_dainese_assen_2_perf_race_suit/?utm_source=ifttt

Here’s my 2016 Honda CBR600RR. I’m looking forward to start doing track days in the near future! Hopefully I’ll be able to do it religiously and convert this one into a fully track bike.

What spares do you take to a Race Weekend?


I'm currently prepping my ZX-6R to start racing in my local club as a beginner, and was wondering if I should buy some more parts for spares to keep in the trailer for if/when the bike goes for a tumble.For the racers here, what do you carry in your spares box to replace and for a quick turn-around to make the next race? Clip ons, rearset pegs, levers. What other weird stuff have you needed. via /r/Trackdays https://www.reddit.com/r/Trackdays/comments/gdc4ca/what_spares_do_you_take_to_a_race_weekend/?utm_source=ifttt

California Superbike School


Has anyone here done Cali Superbike School?I’ve been riding for ten years. Never been on a track, done some canyons but not dragging knee. Riding within my limits.Is the CSS worth the money spent? Do you need track knowledge or can anybody at any level go? Thanks. via /r/Trackdays https://www.reddit.com/r/Trackdays/comments/gd6mjz/california_superbike_school/?utm_source=ifttt

No trackdays? Want to train? Lots of empty parking lots right now. Try seeing how many cones you can knock over with your head. (5:20)

Sharkskinz Fairings Question!


Quick question about sharkskinz fairings, is buying the race kit like a package deal for buying all of them? Want to buy them (i’m a total newbie and this is the first “fairings kit” i’ve bought since buying used bike with beat fairings), or do i have to buy all the pieces separately? Just asking because i don’t want to buy the race kit (because in my head i think track) and have them come with no headlight slots, but the picture for the kit and the upper are the same. Check comments for pic of what i’m talking about. via /r/Trackdays https://www.reddit.com/r/Trackdays/comments/gc1yju/sharkskinz_fairings_question/?utm_source=ifttt
