    Great video. Very informative. There’s nothing better than a dry track on a sunny day with only a couple of bikes out there and the bike of your choice. 👍👍

    Simon has a great talent for explaining technique. Couple that with his experience and exceptional riding ability and it makes this series one of the most worthwhile watches on youtube regarding track day riding. Looking foreward to the next one. Cheers!

    Probably the most valuable track info I’ve ever received all free on my 5” screen. This should be required viewing before any trackday for all newbs, mandates!

      I hope you are NOT a newbie - and if you are please view a few of Dave Moss' videos on track riding, tires and suspension especially, before you go track riding.
      It will save both your bike and your honor ;o}

    Hi Simon, great video and video series fantastic advice. I wanted to ask about Pirelli Diablo Rosso Corsa II or supercorsa SP tyres and how good they would be on track compared to full slicks or full wets. Obviously they won't be as good as dedicated slicks/wets, but as a compromise for an intermediate rider like myself who can't afford to run two sets of wheels & tyres is the performance difference still poles apart or has the gap to road/track tyres reduced? Thanks

    • @motovudu

      Great question because it's very important and one I come across regularly.
      The tyres you mentioned are ok to have your first track experience on but after that I'd personally get rid of them. Track specific tyres, stands and warmers are MUCH better for the job. They don't have to be Slick's they can be treaded but the compound is important. Road and track is like any tool that is a compromise, average. I'm forced to ride the BMW for the MotoGP GoPro lap on road and track tyres. They are rubbish compared to any brand of track specific tyres and make it difficult to stay on line, get to full lean, not run wide and not crash.
      As far as wet weather riding goes, I'd never ride on treaded tyres as it's a horrible experience after using wets and far more chance of crashing.
      Choosing to use road and track tyres= the experience of using a condom without being safer... better than nothing but not like the real thing

    When you entered the pit lane, clicked neutral and are still rolling at highish speed, why wouldn't you use the kill switch instead of reaching down for the key?

    The pace of a newbie rider will never be fast enough to get the tires properly warm. Street tires are fine for beginners and probably the better choice too.

    Does anyone know where I could find recommended tyre pressures for the TRACK! The manufacturers and the bikes own user guide/manual says no matter what tyre you have you must use 2,4bars front and 2,9bars rear (for the streets). Just saying that 2,9bars for the rear in +30 celsius warm day in track you're gonna be f*cked.

    • @motovudu
      @motovudu  6 років тому

      There should be advice on the manufacturers website specific to the tyre you are running e.g www.dunlopracing.com/Pressures.pdf We always recommend running track specific tyres.

    @simon I really hope you are addressing experienced or at least relative experienced track riders !?
    Asking a newbie to warmup track tires is like asking a novice Cessna pilot to make sure the turbine is sufficiently heated before hitting the afterburner on an F16.
    Even preheated track tires will go cold on a newbie - they will go out on 80 deg.C tires and come back in with tires barely as hot as the tarmac :-/
