That’s odd. Most warmers have a warm setting around 135f and a hot setting around 175f.

120f is far too low for a hot setting, and 120c (248f) is far too hot.

Mine have 50c, 90c and 110c.

50c is for wets.
90c for slicks, left on for 30+mins
110c for slicks, but only to be used for short time periods.

I've never used the 110c setting. But, some people have also said, if your championship has minimum tyre pressure regulation, you can use this setting to meet the requirement on the grid, then the temp (and pressure) drop on the sighting lap, to give the desired lower tyre pressure (for racing, not for meeting the minimum temp requirement)

Added some Cf tank protectors, and installed Deusen’s Tune, pretty simple and straight forward process, bike started up and idled well, heating the tires to go take it for test spin, has SC1’s so just a trip around the block to make sure everything is okay ahead of a track day on Saturday.

Also did a few visual mods, had some rare free time so playing around with some Vulture Bike decals, added some Fluo Yellow to brighten the bike up and match my helmet. Bike was gorgeous when by itself, but all those neon bikes at the track were making it jealous I think haha

Also, one of my wings broke off so I had to order a new set, and they only had the forged carbon fiber version, I wanted them to match the rest of the CF on the bike so I wasn’t happy about putting mismatched CF on there but it looks okay. The Superleggera wings have a big enough affect on the suspension that I didn’t want be running without them for 3 months waiting for a matching CF twill.

Also if you look closely at my seat and just in front of the Monkey Gripps tank extender you’ll see some smooth glossy rubbery material…I’m ordering more of the to replace the Stompgrips tank pads….its a new thing that Monkey Gripps is making and selling…its a sort of soft rubbery material that holds you in place better than anything I’ve ever tried…by a WIDE margin…compared to StompGripps and other textured tank pads this smooth rubbery material is like going form a normal treaded street tire to a warmed up slick…highly recommend the stuff. They make it in clear too.

Why don't you race with one of the socal clubs? Club racing is always the cheapest way to get track time. Plus the knucklehead content is lower. You should go to buttonwillow if you haven't and thunderhill is fun.

For sure I wanna do both those tracks, with regard to club racing, I’ve only done about 10 track days, on a good day I’m top half of Group B…but improving, when I’m consistently in Group A and not slowing everyone down in that group for sure I’ll do some club racing.

I try to be polite on track days and let people that have faster roll speed through the corners go past instead of trouncing them on the straights like I could. But I got annoyed at that last track day and some poor bloke on another Ducati came off a corner right behind carrying more speed, normally I’d roll slightly off the throttle and let him get 6 or 8 bike lengths ahead then hammer on….but my competitive instincts kicked in when he was two bike lengths ahead I remember just sorta snapping and and saying F this and chased him back down…he looked pretty surprised at how fast and how quick I rolled back up next to him.

So yeah I might have to start some club racing before this bike overcomes my better angels lol

Hey Steven, sharing moment: have you ever done 2 days in a row? Just looking at your calendar seeing the even distribution with sizable gaps. Each gap we tend to loose learning momentum and confidence. I started doing 2 days in a row and saw the first day is the typical morning butterflies, tentative checking details, by afternoon hammering. Day two starts hammering and goes deep into progress.

+1 THill rocks. I love that place.
I want to get into racing for similar reasons. We have these "comparative" sessions that are all but a race. Man O man, my favorite stuff.

Man I love doing two days in a row just for that reason, and I use to when Autoclub Speedway was open because that track was 45 minutes from home, so I could go and be home for dinner.

Now all the tracks I go to are 3 hours each way, so I pack the truck the night before, get up at 4 am and drive to the track, then home afterward at 8 pm.

I travel for work during the week, and have two small children at home, we have a nanny but even so my travel means my wife doesn’t get a break to relax all week long, and the kids don’t get to see their Dad. Throw in a two day track weekend where I’m gone before the kids get up until after they go to bed and that makes for a potentially marriage ending combo 😂😂😂.

Some of the track days are on Fridays or Mondays which make things easier, but the weekend track days are tough to do two in a row and still get family time, which I like as much as going to the track…so it’s a balancing act.
