Track day Q & A: Difference between revisions

Line 2:

'''Q.''' If I get lean crazy and lowside the bike, is there something I can do to protect the fairings?

'''A.''' Either crash into a wall of pillows and marshmallows, or take off the fairings. If you crash, you're going to break parts, no matter what you do. That's why it's called a CRASH.

'''A1.''' Either crash into a wall of pillows and marshmallows or take off the fairings, although they do protect the frame. If you crash, you're going to break parts, no matter what you do. That's why it's called a CRASH.

Remove the mirrors and turn signals. In the rear, you can undo the four bolts that hold the rear fender on, and the turn signals and tail light all come off together.

'''A2.''' Through the [http://faq.ninja250.org/wiki/Where_can_I_buy_parts/tools_online%3F#Junkyards.2C_err..._Used_Parts usual sources] you should be able to find some used, not-in-the-greatest-shape fairings cheapish. Of course, they may be two different colors and have some other cosmetic issues, but if it is just for track days, who cares?

'''Q.''' Will the stock dunflops do okay for this sort of riding? I know they are okay tires but they are solid as a freaking rock and such a hard compound.
