Okay, so I'm STILL waiting of Houston MSR to call me back, but the nice ladies who answer email have been very helpful, no call from the instructor however. I'm going to begin prepping the bike for the track and here's my laundry list of items to prep.
What I am really looking for is when I remove the sidestand, can I pull the whole sidestand switch wire, or do I need to make some kind of a switch by pass?
Bike Prep:
1) Tape wheel weights
2) Tape Master Cylinders
3) Safety wire oil drain plug
4) Safety wire oil filter
5) Safety wire oil filler cap
6) Attach fluid catch bottle - baby bottle and a nipple works great!
7) Safety wire Front and rear axles
8) Remove mirrors
9) Remove turn signals
10) Remove passanger peg brackets
11) Tape guage faces
12) Remove Sidestand
13) Remove Center Stand
14) Drain anti-freeze and replace with H2O with Water Wetter
15) Change oil and filter
16) Bleed brakes - F and R
17) Air tires
18) Safety wire hand grips
19) Safety wire brake caliper mounting bolts
20) Safety wire banjo bolts
21) Remove license plate
22) Unplug lights
23) Remove inner fairing
24) Remove peg feelers
25) Safety wire dip stick
Safety Gear
1) Leathers, 1 piece or 2 piece (with full zipper and pants and jacket belts), with CE armor
2) Gaunlet gloves
3) Mid calf track specific boots
4) DOT or Snell approved helmet - Check with club or school for year requirement
5) Back and chest protectors
6) Ninja suit - under leather full length, lycra or cotton long johns, helps prevent road rash, reduces friction of leather on skin
7) Ear Plugs
8) Dark, and clear visors
9) Neck support - Optional, just coming onto the market
Pit Gear
1) Shade Tent/Awning
2) Indoor/Outdoor Carpet (astro turf) 10' X 10'
3) Tools - All of them
4) Bike Stand
5) Large Cooler with Ice, Water, Sports Drinks and Snacks
6) Air Tank
7) Generator (optional) to power fans, air compressor, radios, lights
8) Chairs - Always bring at least one extra so visitors can sit
9) Spares - Levers, pegs, cables, zip ties, 90mph tape (duct tape for you civilian types), safety wire, grips, misc nuts and bolts
10) Fluids - Oil, Brake Fluid, Water with Water Wetter, Chain Lube, Windex, Hand Cleaner, degreaser, Paper Towels and/or Rags
Bling
1) Cool Banners for sponsors - YAMAHA, of course!
2) Umbrella girls
3) Theme music - No Rocky please, Blur is fine.
4) Motor Home with hot tub
Did I miss anything?
Thanks!
