I need some opinions on how to get going.
Just bought a 04 R6 race bike, had damaged fairings rear sets ect. I have the bike ready to go now im just waiting on a few DZUS fastners and a couple odds and ends.
I would really like to get into racing this year but I haven't taken a Race licencing course, Justin is offering one 22&23 although this is also the weekend that I was planning on attending the Indy.
I have only been riding for a year now, and will only be able to attend 3? races after the school. Do you think it's worth it or should I stick to track days and OTP lessons for this year? I wouldn't mind volunteering a couple times but I know once I get out there I will not want to watch!
As a side note what else should I prepare for track days, I have a set of warmers but don't have a gen yet. Is it critical that I use the warmers between sessions? I have all gear needed but im wondering if i should have spare rear sets, handle bars, levers...? Whats your advice on tires, I have a set of rains and a set of Diablo Supercorsas used for one track day. Will I be ok on street tires afterwards, should I use takeoffs?
Also have a full Akra exhaust that I can install instead of the stocker, just not sure if it will be too loud.
