Literally slid off my bike today on the track, and now I see this.
jk brother happens to us all haha. hope you get back out there soon!
That's what's bothering me wrecking my fairings,not wrecking myself. Guess it's time to buy Chinese fairings for track..
Literally did my first track day at the Nurburgring mere hours before this was posted. Definitely needed this.
Item 10. Trim your bush! You can’t go to the track if your getting all sweaty down there. And it’s weight reduction!!
It’s true 🤔🤔
Or you could sport the full Bush and use velcro as tank grippers...then simply stick your junk to the tank
Mark Baum the perfect solution
Curious to know whether stewards check this in ‘parc ferme’
Another minor benefit of tank grips is they slow down your fatigue a lit bit when racing/riding because you're not sliding around as much so you are not having to work your core/leg muscles as hard to keep yourself in place
That is the point of putting them on, not a minor benefit.
Youre part of the reason I've started doing trackdays yam, I've done 4 this year, the last one being autobahn yesterday. I'm doing black hawk farms next weekend. The community is so amazing, I had to tear apart my bike yesterday and 5 different people helped me with diffeent things to get back on track.
Doing Autobahn in 2 weeks. Full track 👍👍
Just went on my first track day today!! It was such a great experience! Loved every minute!
Amazing bro outstanding you is very hardworking person
Bro Regards
I have my first track day on 10/15 bringing out my street triple. Very nervous but also extremely excited. Appreciate the tips
Don’t know that I’ll ever get a chance to ride at the track but I love hearing about it all.
Thx Yam✌️
Big thanks to Rokform for supporting the channel. Get the best motorcycle phone mount here and use code YN25 for 25% off www.rokform.com
I live in California where can i look for a cheap bike
I do one or two track days a year at my local track (Sears Point). I enjoy riding on the street so much because I can ride on the coast and enjoy all of it!
I like track days because I can hone my skills but I still get nervous before that track day and in the morning at the track.
Thank you for your informative video and style of presentation. I already do most of what you covered but it’s good to have a refresher.
Awesome tips thanks! First time track day user here soon! 👍🏼
Good luck! Have fun
Needed the tips on PSI for tires. Definitely goina vlog my first track day as well.
Hi Yammie. On my bike if the tire pressure drops all kinds of warnings and danger symbols overtake the TFT display. Excellent video. Thanks taking the time to film and edit it and of course for positing it for our benefit. Keep up the good work! -Migs
I just did my first track day last weekend. And I did it on my VFR800, why did Spite never take his on the track it was a blast!!! Also it turned heads both from the people in novice with me and the older "gurus" who do it every week. I had one guy complain he didn't hear VTEC enough because I was keeping the bike above 7K most of the time.
Finally did my first track day and it’s the best thing I’ve ever done
Bring more water than you think you’ll need. Symptoms of dehydration include decreased hand-eye coordination, dizziness, and disorientation.... none of which are conducive to riding a motorcycle (especially at the track).
Contemplating this later this year...I think there is a lot to be learned there. Wish I had done this years earlier...
Amazing work as always 👍
Love that tech spec snake skin , every bike! Should come with them.
On my 675r track bike i lowered the forks to raise the front a small bit. Much better stability.
Congrats on the win man!
Best video you've made yet.
Thanks popa yam. Giving me advice to get on track at Phillip island.
nice one bro, keep up the informative videos comming.
"If your watching this video its because you are about to do a track day"
I swear half your comments are "I Don't have a motorcycle and yet I have watched six of these now"
To be fair I've only now picked one up and will probably never track. Just love that yam content
Wouldn’t want like, I don’t know, a windscreen flying off.....
Ordered the phone mount/case thanks for the hook up!
One more thing to add on tire pressure. A 10 degree farenheit difference will raise or lower the tire pressure by 1 PSI. Check the temperature where you strengthen bike, and at the track, and if needed, add or subtract a pound or two from the pressure so you have the ideal pressure once at the track.
Bravo! All well said.
awesome. thank you.
I Will not be on the track anytime soon, but thanks. Very educational.
Yammie what are these black jeans you are sporting? I dig them and would like to get myself a pair as I will be purchasing my first bike net week! :)
Nice vid 💯
Safety wire at 12:05 is done wrong. The top bolt is correct but the bottom bolt you have the safety wire tied so its pulling the bolt to loosen it which is the opposite of what you want. You would need to tie the wire off at the opposite side of the hole you tied it to and if that's the only hole just drill another.
Basically just look at the wire where its tied and see if its either pulling on the bolt to tighten it or loosening it. I'm a mechanic for the Air Force and need to safety wire almost 100% of the bolts I do.
Thanks for the video!
Many other things is also wrong. Tire pressure is nothing to care about when starting. And a noob is not going to out ride a street tire, even on the track. That tiers holds the top speed of the bike. Or its not allowed to be used on the road.
Yammie, when you are going to make a track day video at interlagos?
thanks, this is a good video
Your a member at eagals canyon? That’s cool I’d love to but it’s 5hrs away from me.. I was there a month ago but got rained out. Jim Dugger at sport rider coaching was super cool. He was supposed to teach me but of course it rained. 😢Maybe I’ll make it back this summer
I also think that the mirrors are taped so that they don't accidentally blind other guys that may be behind you.
You didnt mention this, but I hear that you should always set up your suspension with all the gear you plan on using on.
Yes, if you are at that level where that would matter.
Just got my 1st bike today z650 I'm in the club boys!
I like how papa yam is showcasing the r1 for a track video instead of his track baytona, the liter bikes r getting to him
Keep watching, all the track toys make an appearance 🙃
Papa Yammi, what pressure for a zx14r? It's just street and I'm running michelin power 5's?
I can't find any good information. All contradictory.
I'd say hands down work on vision day 1. You won't know what line you're on or when to crack that throttle open if you can't see where you are & what space you have. Vision tells you everything & if you don't have it everything else suffers
Is there any videos of you racing?
Baby Yams: getting ready to watch good ol papa yam as usual... Yammie: F**k it, We’ll do it live!
In 2 days I’ll be going on my first track day. Not gonna lie, I’m quite scared. Specially knowing that it’ll probably rain on the day. But this video just made me feel a lot more confident about it! Thanks Yammie Noob.
Howd it go?
@@hopjop99 I got lucky as the first half of the day was 100% dry. The rain did come though, and it came hard. I’d say 80% of the riders left at that point, including myself. We were all very happy with the first 3 sessions and decided to call it a day.
Overall, it was probably one of the most intense experiences of my life. I wish everyone had the opportunity to experience that at least once. Will definitely do it again in the future.
I also wished I had done my first track day on my previous bike (Ninja 300) as opposed to my current one (MT09). Had I done that, I probably wouldn’t have upgraded bikes so soon. I would’ve used the opportunity to learn all the fundamentals of track riding before moving on to a bigger displacement bike.
DONT race in the rain. Better days will happen. I ALWAYS sat out on rain
As a first timer who only owns 1 bike that is a cruiser (2014 Yam Bolt), is it worth it to go to a track day on that or wait a year/two until I can buy a cheap Ninja 300 or something of that sort? With all of the track day costs (admission, gear, installing a hitch and trailering the bike, etc.) there is no way I can afford an entry track day specific bike. I want to improve my riding but have never been to track mainly because its so expensive. I practice ATGATT on the street but don't have the high boots or gauntlets that are required (for the track I'm going to) and renting a suit is 100/day as well in my area. All of it is adding up quick but I have heard track days are next level for improving riding skills so I want to try and go if I can.
Measure the tire pressure cold or warmed up?
May 8th first track day at Portland international raceway.
Definitely any insight or suggestions to add would be greatly appreciated
Funny, i'm going to my first track day this thursday.
F in the chat for those who don't have a Track anywhere near them. Aka me.
Aka mean: “Also known as”.
Are those black riding jeans? If so, what are they?
Any brand of tank pads ok?
Papa yam, recently found your channel and have been watching a lot of your videos. Very good stuff. Saw the series on the hentai hornet yesterday - what ever happened to that bike? Didn’t see a follow up video
It was given away to a guy in Tampa and is living it’s best life
Yammie Noob awesome. That was a cool series to watch. Keep up the good work!
Dude I know this is going to be off be and not related to this video or anything even relevant to a modern motorcycle. But my dude please do a motorcycle review for the 1984 through 1986 Honda cb700sc Nighthawk!
My tyre pressure for the road is 28 rear and 30 front
What is safety wiring
My 390 Duke recommends 28/28 on the bike and in the manual. I like 29 on the street. Probably wouldn't run less than 28 on the track.
Small displacement bikes are very different. I run 22psi on my RC390 featured in this video
I just recently got a 2016 rc390. I am looking for some advice on my next mod. Would you do a quick throttle or an exhaust first?
Get a bigger radiator fan if you haven’t already.
@@kinker200 I have not done that yet. Thanks. I did switch to Evans radiator fluid to try and help keep it cooler.
@Michael Manning I have a 2018 and I heard you can fit the 2018+ radiator fans on the older models. Good luck!
Dave Moss Tuning is a great channel for track advice
Yes, that guy is most to the point no bs pseudoscience person I've seen on yt.
Doesn't seem like "imperfections add character" kind of hippie either.
What about brake rotors and pads?
What about them?
I accidentally left the discord and trying to rejoin through the website isn't working.
Can someone throw me a link?
You missed something Yammie. HELMET'S. Would have fons perfectly with thentraxk suit. Most tracks, all that I have run on, will not let you on the track, with any helmet NOT SNELL rated. Show.up with a DOT lid, a reputable track will send you home, and tell you to have one, next time. Some will e en accept the EU standard ones, but most are Snell or nothing, as in the amount of track time you will get that day.
How am I supposed to change geometry like rale and trail?
Slide your front forks up or down in the yokes 😊
I understand lowering tire pressure for the track...but why do you think the sticker suggestion is too high for city riding?
The only thing I can think of is lower rolling resistance so slightly better fuel efficiency
Because you are going to use maybe 10 back wheels the first year. That is many $ wasted in tires in one year. And you use maybe 40% of what your street tires can preform. One street tire holds maybe 3-5 years. And don't cost as much. How much fuel you use, has noting to do whit it. Then you buy a scooter, they use 1/3 of the fuel.
I'm not here because I follow GP moto or am itching for a track day. I'm here for papa yams
I want to ride my Bike 4th of september going for my liscence
Nice. Always appreciate your videos. So what do you think about taking my 800 pound cruiser for a track day? Do you think a Honda VTX 1800 would fare well at a track day? I have my bike in my videos if you want to check it out.
It’s not the best tool for the job, but fuckin send it bro. You’ll have fun lol
Hell yea....track it
@@markbaum9615 I will have to investigte my area for tracks. if I do this I will make sure GoPro is rolling. this maybe embarrassing.. slowest lap times ever, lol
@@Charlies_Riding_Adventures ...
.just ride within your capabilities
and not beyond the VTX limitations
..never be embarrassed regardless of lap times...Hey, I saw you on cyclecruza....im in NE Ohio too
@@markbaum9615 was your high school masco t the Bears by chance??
The italian accent🤣🤣🤣 sent me
Would like your input on the cbr500r (or 650r) as a starter bike.
Just get a 600
Dont listen to this guy lol. Don’t get a 600 as your first bike lol. Get something smaller and nimbler - you’ll learn more and have more fun
check out
TheMissendenFlyer's videos on it ;)
@@yammienoob thanks for the tip!
@@yammienoob I have a 600, I'm 17 and I'm alive
I love ur vids man but I can't join ur give away es cuz I am broke I mean really broke u feed my addiction and fill the feeling of not having any good friends
Can't believe ppl gave this thumb down... go away haters
“Wetter water” 😂
3:00 no way at all... You want high pressures in the tyres on the street 38 at least in most bikes in the rear, sometimes up to 44, especially if you're not riding too much twisties, if you do, high 30s still. Tracks you can drop the pressures, but for the street, 100% stay high, it will save you a lot of tyre, much better stability at high speed and much better slow speed control all the things you want on the street.
Rokform doesn't support Honor Phones ... so sad
Some one once asked… Is it slow into the corner, and fast out… The answer he got was: No, fast in and fast out…
Hi dad
22:22 minutes of adrenaline rush👊
You need to learn how to read your tires to know the proper psi and suspension settings. A professional can help you with that. There is no magic number or setting
Edit: oh and it changes as you get faster or adopt different riding styles

Me watching this when I got my first bike on Friday and I don't even have my license yet
Fun fact: you don’t need a license to do a track day.
Ride in 6 gare bro
Take a shot every time he says track
Sup
1:49 weird flex but ok
Yammie i need a bike
Can you get away with a 3/4 piece leather suit ???
Mmmmm.....
is it me or yammie noob always seem to be trying to brag but makes it so it doesn't seem obvious
„Not too tight, otherwise you’ll scatch it“
Scratch it? You mean a plastic ziptie will scratch the metal forks if its too tight? These really soft bendy things will put scratches into this hard metal? I need to go back to school.
No but seriously, ya cant scratch the metal with the plastic, so dont worry :)
Something besides plastic nylon (similar strength to aluminum) will become lodged in between the zip tie and remain there while it moves up and down.
@@kylekdk456 yeah that would happen if you have it to loose and something harder than the forks could get in there, but not if you have it tight enough... and it doesnt move up and down it only moves in one direction (depends if its upsidedown or right side up forks) and its there so you see where the maximum suspension travel was.
That is some ugly safety wiring, need me to come give you some assistance? Lol
First
Nudged me up by eight seconds but I typed so much more.
You guys ever Consider doing your videos in other languages? Mr beast hires voice actors so his videos can reach a wider audience around the world. 🌎
Or you already wrecked your bike on your first track day 😂😂😅
Dont't put a ziptie on your stansion if you bottom out your shok is f*ckt. Had it happen om my mtb and it costs a sh!t load to fix the damage
9:30
its not to just put on your shock. Its something you do after 3-5 years of riding. You have adjusted you shocks, and want to measure if you need more or less pressure in the damper. He is not telling the hole story. It has noting to do with the first day or year on a track day. Don't have to do noting to a stock bike, to ride it on a track. He is talk about racing, and getting better lap times. That's to people that has been riding some years on a track. The fast boy squids don't understand, and want under stand that. And don't listen.
Stared watch this channel because I like riding bikes. Not a speed demon, but like to ride. The new Harley not withstanding this channel , for me, has jumped the shark. Too much talk about stuff that just doesn’t pertain to me. 🤔
