Friend of mine is thinking about it with his FZ1. What does LVD look for as far as safety equipment? ---

Leather gloves, leather jacket and DOT/Snell M2000 or newer helmet. Must have boots that are at least ankle high. If you trap over 135 you need leather pants as well, and a kill switch. ---

The tether is a weird rule, I don’t have the email from the track about the rules but it stated something along the lines of if you have a modified street bike you MUST have a kill switch, but if its stock and has a tip over sensor (most new bikes do) then you don’t. I would contact the track if your not sure if you need one though. ---
