Chiricahua · 01-24-2005, 07:51 AM

What is the minimal needed to pass the tech inspection this W/E? :dunno

Any advice would be appreciated. :thumbup

EDIT: Just found this info on the TT2T link!

-Tires-Should be new or in near
new condition.

-Brakes-Check pads for wear.

-Chain-Check tension and make
sure it is lubed.

-Wheel Weights-Should be taped
down with duct tape.

-Bolts and Fasteners-You should
give your bike a once over
before coming to our events
and make sure that everything
is secured and tight.

-Oil-Make sure that your bike's
oil level is full.

-Levers-Brake and Clutch levers
should be at proper adjustment
and should be securely fastened to
your bike.

-Throttle-Your throttle should snap
closed when released from the open
position.

-Mirrors/Turn Signals/Headlight/
Taillight-All of these should be
removed or taped.

Normal track day stuff for the bike. Make sure you drop off your fuel cans at the refueling pad near the flagpole and refuel only on the concrete pad. The whole valley sets over an aquifer and the locals wanna keep it clean.
And of course, don't forget your cans when you leave.

Yeah, I stopped riding Palomar when Speed and Tyler's Tuesdays rides fell apart.

I don't recall how many miles I've done at Pahrump. I remember going through a full tank and a couple more gallons during the day. Pahrump is not real hard on gas. I can go through a tank, a 5 gallon can and be working on the second at Fontana.

Its gonna be fun this weekend. See you there.

My first track day at willow I brought 5 gal can and had about 4 gal in the tank and had so grup for gas at the end

So now I bring 10 Gals and make sure tank is at least half full for the day. Then any extra I just dump in the van before I leave.

So can we get gas at the track itself or must we bring our own in a huge container?

I always bring my 5 gallon gas container w/me and fill up the bike before I leave. My leaf blower at home is using 92 octane as that's all I had left in that gas tank. :lmao

It made blowing leaves a lot easier.
