i’m guessing is just frame bolts, stuff thats exposed, but that still seems like a shit ton of bolts. whats a typical fee for a track day? ---

Depends on the club, at the minium you will be required to wire the oil filter, tape headlights if they are glass. Some clubs required water in place of coolant. > [@Obtaining police report for prior accident...](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/obtaining-police-report-for-prior-accident/44545/2): > > Safety wire is just for racing, for track days if I remember right just the oil filter needs to be tied down somehow. Gloves, a up to date helmet, full leathers, boots are all likely required. ^ pretty much. You can use a hose clamp on the oil filter and then wire it to the bike. Gloves need to be guntlet, most likely you will need Snell or ECE certified helmet, some clubs will allow fabric gear. Tires and brakes should have no more than 50% wear. ---

The closest track would be NHMS @ 4 hours, then NJMP @ 6 hours. Depends on club, usually a trackday costs around $200. Feel free to create a post asking for interest in doing trackdays. ---

And once you have all your one time costs/fees taken care off it’s really not that bad. ---

I would assume they rather encourage you to go to a track if you don’t have a license rather than the street. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/sv650-makes-a-great-track-bike/253257.md?page=2)
