Im looking for someone to help me get into track days with my new supermoto. I just moved to denver a month or so ago and also purchased a 450smr that ive been using on the street. I dont have any road track experience, but Im not a beginner rider.
Im not quite ready, I still need to pick some stuff up for the bike, leathers, and aquire some tools that I thought I wouldnt need out here. If your someone that hits up a sm track of any type and wouldnt mind someone taggin along let me know.
I'm there almost every sunday be happy to help ya out.
Thanks, I think I know what I need, but would like to hear from someone else. What are the basics that I should be bringing? Do I need to saftey wire anything on the smr, replace the coolant? anything Im not thinking of?
Nothing is required to ride at IMI (except helmet, jacket and gloves) although axle and handlebar slider will save you some grief and prevent surface damage if you should taste asphault. The safety wire is a good thing, and if you were to wet the track it would be nice if it wasn't antifreeze because that is such a bitch to clean up.

Stay away from both Krod and Bueller. They both crash frequently. They claim it is because they are "fast", but really it is because they are "bad riders". They get all scared and jittery when there are bigger bikes on the track too, so you might want to pretend yours is a 250.
On to your real questions - I would get axle, handle bar, and peg sliders, change the coolant to water/water wetter, and get a leather suit (the dirt bike gear doesn't work too well sometimes, right Dave?). You don't need to safety wire, unless you are racing, but make sure things are tight. Finally, bring good tires that are properly inflated.

Wheres a good place to pick up tires. I dont want to pay a ton on mounting either.
what are you lookng for? Performance cycle is a good bet
I change my own, but Faster/TK is fair.
Well since I dont have place, time to change my own id like to put something on that I can use on the track as well as use up on the street.
I have a set of pirelli DOT take off's with only 1 track day on them. 150.00 for the set.
I'll trade you my pilot power take offs for them, 2/3 tread left
For you there 250.00. I have 2 sets..... What bike ya want them for?
probably the ktm, got 1 set for pmp, will need more after that
I have a good set of slicks ya can have for the Miller race. If ya need the pirelli's I will bring them to IMI this weekend.
what time are you guys going to be at IMI this weekend, Id really like to drive up and see what its all about, before I go and spend any more money outfitting myself to bring the bike.
I ended up buying a couple of sets of slicks that I got at a good price, but still would like to get a set of leathers before I get the bike on the track.
I'll be on the trails this weekend.
