So I finally signed up for my first track day next month at Loudon. Been riding street for like 12 years but never done a track day, kinda nervous not gonna lie.
The bike is my 2005 Ninja 636 that I rebuilt last winter (full teardown, new fork seals, valve check, the works). Runs great on the street but I know track is a different animal.
What do you guys check before a track day? I'm thinking fresh oil, new brake fluid, tires are maybe 70 percent. Do I need to safety wire anything or is that just for racing? Also what pressure do you run on track vs street, I usually do 36/36.
Any advice for a first timer is welcome. Mostly just dont want to be the guy holding everyone up or worse, crashing my baby.
