Netmeister Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 (edited) 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 etcSpanner - to get mirrors offFoot pump (do they have pumps at MSV tracks?)Clear Visor - got tinted visor on lidBack ProtectorAny 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 Edited April 27, 2010 by Netmeister Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest philgale Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Just fold the mirrors in...there should be a tyre guy there to sort your pressures outJust take duct tape that fixes everything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netmeister Posted March 25, 2010 Author Share Posted March 25, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest philgale Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netmeister Posted March 25, 2010 Author Share Posted March 25, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris128 Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netmeister Posted March 26, 2010 Author Share Posted March 26, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netmeister Posted March 26, 2010 Author Share Posted March 26, 2010 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 pichttp://i640.photobucket.com/albums/uu121/Netmeister87/Bandit/3.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest philgale Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 i reckon you will be fine mate, rev it to 7k and if its ear bleeding then its too loud if it fails wait 20 mins and take it back and tell them its a 1250 will pass then but my real advise is get a DB killer just incase you dont wanna waste the day because its loud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Netmeister Posted April 6, 2010 Author Share Posted April 6, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Netmeister Posted April 6, 2010 Author Share Posted April 6, 2010 With your TDR discount you're looking at £98.10 for Brands, that's quality! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest philgale Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 dirt cheap mate, if it wasnt 5 hours away from me id be there. but i think if i go all the way it has to either be a double and at least 1 day GP track... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
