Hey all,


Finally going for my second TD and it will be Brands Indy on the 26th April with No Limits. Got a question though.


What do I need to take? I've decided I'm gonna take the Bandit out to open her up, so I'll be riding to the track meaning limited storage space. This is what I've got so far:


Electricians tape -for lights etc

Spanner - to get mirrors off

Foot pump (do they have pumps at MSV tracks?)

Clear Visor - got tinted visor on lid

Back Protector


Any other tools I might need?


Then just essentails like food & water etc etc.


For those thinking about their first trackday (URBANMARK!!!) as I said I'll be taking my 215kg, 75bhp Bandit out so I'll be pootling around in novices so come along and we can pootle together :)

Just fold the mirrors in...there should be a tyre guy there to sort your pressures out


Just take duct tape that fixes everything

What's your take on suspension? I know they have guys there to do it, but don't want to spend £40 just to have to put it back to road settings after.

The changes they make will make it better on the road as well...


If your lookin at gettin rid soon I wouldn't bother...next time I'm out my gsxr is getter sorted

Change of plan, the Bandit is staying now, probably for another year.


In that case I'll prob get them to take a look then, any idea on the going rate? Is it around £40.

Cost me £45 to get my suspension done at Cadwell, but its not just like a one off thing - they work with you for the entire day to get it all set up how it works best for you. Having said that, I didnt end up taking mine back after the first time they adjusted it because it felt fine after that :)

Thinking about it, being such a novice I'm not sure I would notice the differences anyway. I think I might just do the first couple of sessions to see how I get on then speak to the suspension dude if I get any problems.

Wait I've got another question.


Bandit has a full length scorpion end can that came with the bike, but it didn't have a baffle. You reckon I'd pass the noise test? Was thinking about buying a db killer but if I don't have to I wont.


Here's a pic

i reckon you will be fine mate, rev it to 7k and if its ear bleeding then its too loud :lol:


if it fails wait 20 mins and take it back and tell them its a 1250 :twisted: will pass then :lol:


but my real advise is get a DB killer just incase you dont wanna waste the day because its loud

I would love to go, Alas, I have not the cash. And I dont have zip together leathers. I might pop down to watch though?


Actually, thinking about it, my boss has a set he would lend me........and its only £65. Ill try to get the day off and let you know tomorrow. :twisted:

More reason to book than ever, price has just been lowered to £109 as there are only 11 riders for this day so far, so trying to get more on-board.


Bargain basement price for Brands, snap it up :wink:
