Some track day prep questions

You need spares…. If you had had a spare you wouldn’t need to be looking now…😂

Yeah, my spares are stuck in a DPD van.

I’ve just remembered that my original wheels don’t have discs on and the tires have a hint of blue in them for some reason.

I’ll have to find a solution at the track.
 
At Brno again.

In the second session I did 2:29.4 (at last).

It didn’t actually feel fast – yes, I know it isn’t – so hopefully I can push on a bit from there.

Just working on body position – in particular arms and feet – and vision, along with trying to let the bike carry more speed into and through the turn.
 
Oil? Felt like it on the rear ‘hugger’ and I had an unexpected rear slide.

The liquid gasket looks a bit of a mess as well.

I would say its normal for Pani engine

Oil sprinkles like that is normal too

It’s good to hear that. I’ve not seen it before on either of my Panigale and it worried me a bit

What about the black seal? It’s completely fine on the other side but on the side in the photograph it looks like it’s turned into a bit of a mess.
 
That oil seems above the gasket joint..🤷🏼‍♂️

The gasket doesn’t exactly look great, but I’m no expert of course.

Seeing some oil on the rear hugger in front of the rear tire didn’t exactly fill me with confidence.

Oh, and something I’ve not seen before – they are closing the track for an hour so that an aeroplane can land on the start finish straight. Probably the new owner.
 
You should swing by New York Safety Track, owners have 2-3 stunt planes, a seaplane, and a Diamond Air twin prop......be prepared to wake up to a 50' fly over (and perhaps a smoke trail)! Uses the front straight as well.

Not very excited when they park them on the grass during sessions though :mad:
