TimTheAzn Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 @DerekClouser get your brakes fixed before you do another track day. Track days arent about "oh you think this will pass?" If you are questioning it, fix it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm working on seeing if I can make this happen... Pondering... I just get concerned cause my one rotor needs rebuttoned - I got passed last time, but I probably should get that fixed. Do they regularly check that? What would cause me to fail tech spec in regards to that being slightly loose?? Expand If it's broke or might be broke or you're unsure about it, fix it. I took mirrors off along with all blinkers this time as per their guidelines. Luckily @jschaf is a thorough man and made the process very very simple. Speaking of simple, I probably should have checked with him before replacing the old coolant, because it turns out engine ice (what WAS in the bike) is perfectly fine for I and A groups... and is good to -26F. At least I'll be good at changing coolant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't noticed any decrease in braking power etc just that it will need to be replaced. I plan on ordering a new one, but the ones I've found from China (which have great reviews) won't be here before Labor Day so that's why I was asking the question.
