Hey everyone just wanted to share my first ever track day and it couldn't be more special then completing it on the V4.
I was so nervous when i got to the track. Im usually a very confident rider on the road. Have been riding for years and finally pulled the trigger to do it. felt very intimated by the track as it was going to test everything i knew about riding a bike but also how well i could handle this monster of a V4. as the day went on my confidence grew and grew especially knowing that the V4 had my back with the electronics. By the end of the day i was one of the fastest in my group. To put it into perspective my lap times were about 2:01mins whilst the average for my group was about 2:17mins so was extremely happy.
few things about the V4:
*Stupidly fast down the straights. Demolished anything that was in its way.(got up to 260km/h down the straight)
*amazingly agile in the corners.
*very forgiving if you messed up a corner
Few questions:
*hit the rev limiter 3 times accidentally. Is that bad for the bike? (bike has 1600km on it so far)
*Chain became a lot more loose. is that normal?
*Should i change the oil after a track day? only changed the oil about a month ago and havent done much riding in between that lately.
that is all. very excited and had to vent
thank you
