@Gundamzeppelin

Take lessons from me.:lol My crash was crazy violent even flipped the bike. Had a serious tumble. Not a scratch on me, the bike and suit took damage.
At NYST if you slide off the track that’s when the trouble starts. the run off area isn’t great.

What type of suit were you wearing? Also what back protector?

:eek3 Wow didn’t realize you crashed during NYST…Was that in july??? Sorry to hear dude, just minor set back.

You leather can be easily repaired. I hope the bike is not too badly damaged…

@HiSpeed48

Thanks guys

Thanks Rocket. Yeah my lines were all messed up the whole day. I was warming up to my old trackday pace and was trying to learn the track at the same time, so every session I was going faster and having to change my reference points. In that right-left combo where I crashed I turned-in a little too soon for the right hander and that put me too far to the left side for the left hander, so my apex was way too early and I ended up being leaned over for longer than usual. That was definitely a mistake. Thanks for pointing that out.

My stock front springs are really soft, so I had the front preload maxed out. It was about 35mm of sag, maybe more. Rear spring was much stiffer, I think I had around 32mm of rear sag. I wrote all my suspension settings down and then lost them lol. For the rest of the settings I used the recommended settings from SportRider.com, and they were pretty decent.

I want the warmers mainly just as a precaution for days when it’s cool outside. Also I might get a second set of wheels and mount some race rubber. I’ve got the trackday-addiction again lol

Yeah maxing out the preload is not ideal. Did you ziptie the fork tube and know how much travel you have left?
