First VFR track day
Im taking the VFR on its first track day end of the month at Donnington. Ive done a few track days on 600's so im just wondering what I can expect from the TROUSER FIREWORK. Ive only rode it up the street so far, So I couldnt really open it up. It feels very soft and loose compared to other bikes ive ridden. Im just after any advice, tips or story's from people who have tracked these things. Also any idea what psi I should run in Pirelli Supercorsa's. 28F 32R?
Cheers

Re: First VFR track day
HA HA - that cracks me up every time - trouser firework!!
All I'll say is just enjoy it - don't worry too much about the speed, the modern bikes will leave you on the straights but a well set up bike will handle great if not better than them in the corners.
They were the pressures I ran on my NC30
make sure everything is in good order before the day - make sure tyres will last out, also pads and discs too!
Take a set of spanners and screwdrivers with you that fit all the relevant suspension screws etc, and do some slow adjustments - one thing at a time and remember what your original settings are so you can go back to them.
hope this iss of use to you?! And try not to use that phrase again on the forum!! lol
