    Do you have to remove the kickstand for trackday?

    Nope! You can leave it on.

    I sure wish I had one on the track bike. Love the bike, but my arms are too short to hold the dang bike up and put the rear stand on by myself. I'm tarded though.

    Thanks. Well I'm ready except for taping off my lights. I unplugged them all, got rid of anti-freeze. Checked all clamps and bolts. See everyone there!!!!

    Don't forget to lube the chain, check the oil, and check tire pressure.

    Just depends how far you can get the TL over. I've scraped mine a couple of time at MPH.

    I don't believe I will be over far enough to scrape my kickstand on the ground....
