LINK Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 I don't bring a canopy, it is nice to have though.Full tank and 5 gallons has been enough for me, always leave with some left in the can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r1crusher Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 Damn! Look at Jeff!Sounds like a seasoned track day whore now!But like he has pointed out, a newer helmet I think Snell 2005 or newer approved, water/G-ade and some food for lunch, canopy is IMO a must as it keeps the sun off you and the bike as well as the r$#n at times, and a full tank with 5 gal. is plenty. Your bike should be in good general condition maintenance wise so you don't have any issues passing tech.That's about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r1crusher Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 There are some additional things that need to be done for riding in I/A groups. Some min. safety wiring is needed, oil fill, oil drain, oil filter, rad. cap I think is good enough for I. If you're going to really get into it, caliper bolts, pad pin bolts, pinch bolts, front axle on top of previously listed things. Some guys will go the extra mile and do exhaust and hanger bolts, rear sprocket nuts, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1crusher Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 I almost forgot about the coolant change since all glycol base cooling fluids are prohibited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_Copeland Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 I'll need to do the oil drain,filter and rad. cap,I already did the water wetter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVTPilot Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 I'll need to do the oil drain,filter and rad. cap,I already did the water wetter.I am surprised that as tracked out as your bike is, that those things weren't done already. Mine is uber SW'd. The guy that had this one previously raced WERA and he had everything on it wired. I am pretty well set for racing once that day gets here.

madcat6183 Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 All of this is covered multiple times in the stickies at the top of this section too. There is actually a checklist, that for beginners would be highly suggested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J_Copeland Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 Directly from the MotoSeries Owner:Hello Jeff,We do not have set rules for wiring in the Intermediate group, just theremoval of antifreeze.We do recommend you wire your oil fill cap, oil filter, oil drain plug,coolant drain plug, and coolant fill cap since these are the most commonplaces to develop leaks.Thanks, Todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue03636 Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 Yea, Kevin got the A group rules mixed up with I. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1crusher Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 There was no mix up. Min. things required were for I and then there's more to do for A. If you're going to do it, just do it once and get it all done. That's all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r1crusher Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 I've seen it done to race prep'd bike before. You're on the interwebz, I suggest you learn how to use Google and find out for yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue03636 Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 I have never seen it anywhere. It was your comment, I expect you to find the proof. No race org requires it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
