2018 N2 track day bike prep - Where's everyone at?

[fowlplayracing]

Any luck yet?

Shipped finally!
Tracking says they will arrive today the 3rd.

 

[wmhjr]

Does that give you enough time to mount it?

 

[Thunderace]

Steve is known to be able to MOUNT anything!

That didn't take long...

I am starting to get it buffed out.....

"Envious" doesn't quite cut it...

Well behind in my prep. Suspension finally went out this weekend for service.

Oil changed in the generator.

My new Magura MC is ready to be installed. Now maybe my track bike will brake as well as my Tuono.

Oil, water wetter, and tires still to go. Also have to make sure I don’t have a small oil leak. The engine was pretty grimy. Not sure if it was just build up from the season or maybe a small oil leak. Even if I find nothing, I am going to have to do a better job of cleaning between weekends.

Back up bike / friend’s East coast lightweight endurance racer is being prepped in Wisconsin. I get to do transport and pit crew duties for VIR, Summit and NJMP. In return I get a backup bike and something more suitable for Shenny than my old R1.

I also have to get the trailer inspected this month.

You should contact bobblehead motors. Sometimes they have parts.

Brake pads? You don’t use the brakes.

You need pain as well? I think you've had enough of that.

It was hard enough for me to type separate words. My fingers kept wanting to type Taco Eating Track Crash Vulture.com

I came to bring the pain.... Mainly to my body when I crash....

Looks like I already blew up the motor. Also I had a minor lowside, but nobody has to know it was on cold tires after a red flag, in T1, right after coming out of hot pit. So that motor is probably gone and I already dinged up my brand new paint job. But that's racing I guess.

That sucks, what was the failure modality on the engine? Hope you have no injuries

Yup, no injuries. I think you've seen my posts on social media but here it is for the forum.

As unappealing as brussel sprouts. Why would you do that to your poor defenseless engine.

It did it to itself. It's sad really. It was one lap from retirement.

That is gnarly. That is something of an accomplishment break an sv650. They are renown for their reliability as far as I am aware.
