THose of us lucky enough to get Dave Moss to setup are bikes can attest to this.
Here's an exc. online show Dave does, this one is about an hour long about tire wear, interpreting tire wear and suspension by looking at your tires.

Strongly recommend spending the hour watching this, I learned a huge amount.

Getting your suspension setup correctly is a big key. Often you can look at a tire when someone comes in from a session to see if your suspension is setup correctly.

Newbs often tense up, and have the death grip going on. All the pressure is transferred to the front end.

You should not have any weight on your wrists.

Track days are not about being fast, but smooth. Once your smooth the fast bit will come naturally.

are you stripping all the wax off the tank? I've had mine on for nearly a year with no issues. In all temps.

I really liked techspec and the way they look but it keeps pealing off.

Its happened twice now in one year, techspec customer service has been great and replaced it each time, but they shouldnt just peel off on the corners.

Overall I like the look and feel but the quality of sticking doesnt match stomgrip

Thanks, I'll definitely watch this. Great info.

I found the SC1's to be really soft. . . I mean much softer than I would have expected but very very grippy... . Definitely not used to that compound such that if you use the Supercorsa's I would go with the SC2. . . Can't imagine what the SC0's would be like.

The temp ranges are pretty far ranging on these tires, so nowhere near limited like you would previously have led to believe.

Great, thanks for the info. I'm ideally looking for a track tire I can run on the street and don't grind through in two track days, so I'll do some research on compounds. Hot Florida pavement could be a factor in compound selection I would imagine.

No I didnt strip off the wax. I didnt wax my bike since I bought it new but maybe it came with wax from ducati. That may have been the problem.

This thread has great info and should be a sticky. Since I only have 4 track days under my belt, two of which were CSS, I don't have much to add. Other than, try not to be to tense you're there to have fun.

I will add it to the new users section sticky

I +1 the sticky request! I tried to search before starting the thread in a unified thread but I didn't have much luck. Especially with a looming track day ahead I needed to make sure that I left as little stones left unturned as possible.

I gotta figure out now if the Gaerne boots I have will pass inspection.

Gunny any hookups on Size 10s?
