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… > [@Tall broads: yea or nay?](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/tall-broads-yea-or-nay/53550/30): > > 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](http://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? --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/i-had-a-trackday-crash-motorcycle-video-inside/267859)._
