getting into track days. need advice

[Igor]

hi guys i have a CBR400RR (NC29) and have been thinking of doing track days for a while now.
i went up to malory park today with 2 of my mates and they both done there first track day today. i bottled out like a big girl
they said it was the best experience ever!!!
its time to man up and get on with it lol

at the moment i am running Pirelli supercorsa's front and rear. i've been told that there really good in the dry but really bad in the wet because of the tread
rear tyre is in need of a change and not long untill the front needs changing to. any ideas on tyres?

just need some advice on what to do, and what to look out for. any advice really

If you're happy running corsas on the road then they're fine for the track.

The fairings are fine, you don't need to change anything unless you want to fit track / shite stuff in case of a crash.

That bike and those tyres will be fine.

Where can I get a scorpion wheelie bin?

You need to adjust your rear brake as it'll be grounding out.

bridgestone BT 90's seem to be a popular choice for smaller bikes, ... thats what i used on my RVF
Dunlop gpr 10's are also a good tire for 400cc.

For me the BT90's were about 100 euros cheaper than supercorsas ..

why do people stress about trackdays? you dont 'need' to do anything to your bike and any tyres will be fine. just turn up and ride, its alot safe than riding on the road!

As above, any tyre will be fine as long as they aren't squared off too much - I'm running BT45 touring tyres and can still wear them to the edge on some of the corners at Cadwell
