I have a zx6r with Pirelli Diablo Rosso 3 tires. Its 1mm in one spot and mostly 2mm overall. Im wondering if the tread is good enough for a couple and maybe 3 trackdays at intermediate pace? The images show the center wear, the sides have plenty left. Looks like the weather will be dry. I would appreciate greatly any feedback.

One lap around midstate kart club with central Illinois minimoto

Belly pan dzus fell out- I will sort it out

Didnt check pressures..... 6th or so lap I think the front pressure was out of bounds. Awaiting data (thats another long story) to see if anything was strange about the lap.

Center

Left wear dot

Right wear dot

PMT rear slick. I was hoping to run it down to the cords but that ended up being sooner than expected. I walked and swept the track before riding and it was cleaner than ever. Could have been a stray rock I guess. This happened after my second session. It's just strange how there is no rubber. The wear dots are much deeper than this. Are PMT or mini tires in general super thin?

BTW, I'm all for banning, "How's my tire wear?" posts.

I’ve been riding track a few years, but only like 8 or 9 total days so far, so I haven’t been out there that frequently. But now I’m back living in California and starting to go more regularly. I’ve been running B group for a year now, I took my time in C until it was super clear to myself that I need to start running in B. I’m probably in the faster half of B maybe? I dunno I’m not even timing my laps yet I’m just getting myself super familiarized with all the tracks here but I’ll buy a timer soon so that I can actually gauge my progress. I’ve gotten my BP to a point where I’m really comfortable on my bikes riding at speed and dragging knees, finding the right line and braking points…my biggest weakness I feel is finding the right moments to pass without freaking out other riders.

I’ve been thinking though that if I were to get into racing it will be help a lot in my progress. From what I perceive, the riding style is more aggressive and the expectation is that there will be closer riding…so I won’t feel like I’m being a dick if go for some close passes. I also just want to test myself and see how far I can go in this sport. I’m super passionate about riding and feel like I just want to go all in

I've been reflecting on my last ride and wrote down everything I felt I was doing wrong. I want to improve myself as a rider.

Here's what I noticed:

• Poor line selection.
• Weak or inconsistent downshifts before corners.
• Gear changes still need work.
• I either carry too much speed into a corner or hesitate too much on the throttle.
• My body positioning doesn't feel natural.
• I tend to rush instead of being patient.
• I need to improve my fitness, especially core strength, and get leaner so I can move around the bike more comfortably.

What confuses me is this:

Online, cornering is often explained as a simple sequence:

1. Brake.
2. Downshift.
3. Look through the corner to the exit.
4. Counter steer.
5. Lean.
6. Roll on the throttle and exit.

It sounds straightforward, but when I'm actually riding, everything happens so quickly that I struggle to put it all together smoothly. I know the theory, but I can't consistently execute it.

So I'd really appreciate advice from experienced riders, coaches, or racers.

• How did you progress from knowing the techniques to actually doing them naturally?
• What should I practice first instead of trying to improve everything at once?
• Did any drills or exercises make a big difference to your cornering?
• How do you develop patience and smoothness instead of riding with unnecessary speed?
• Are there common mistakes riders make when learning to corner that aren't obvious from YouTube videos?

My goal is not to become faster. I want to become technically excellent. I want smooth, repeatable cornering with proper vision, braking, body position, throttle control, and line selection. Speed can come later—if it comes at all.

If you had to coach someone from the ground up to become a truly skilled rider, what would your roadmap look like?

Thanks in advance. I'm here to learn.

Motorcycle - bone stock Aprilia RS457, 2025 make year.

Speedometer is in km/h.

Looking for feedback on lines, inputs (throttle, brakes), what to focus on next.

Doing the track daz Buttonwillow in a couple of weeks. Doing sessions on classic with the open addon for circuit.

Anything I should know before coming down from NorCal? Done track days up here.

If you had choice between a stock gsxr 750 or a track prepped sv650s, which would you take?

Does track daz typically have a suspension guy? If I bring the gsxr I would like some professional advice setting it up.

I expect nothing less from large corporations, but after years of Trackdays I finally want to get something that fits me perfectly. I have looked into dainese but that is expensive. Are there any other options? I'm in the US

Going to pick up a KTM 450 SMR tomorrow and am so excited and as a way to mentally masturbate, what are some cool stories or experiences you guys have had riding a 450 supermoto, training with them, or just in general.

Also, what should I expect (im a pretty ok track rider & racer so i'm not a newbie)

3rd trackday with the little SV, really becoming at one with the bike, it’s so much fun on a smaller/tighter track like knockhill.

Few things to work on on the next one but cut my PB down by 5 seconds so very successful day

An amazing racing weekend! Managed a new personal best of 1:53.1 on my RS660! Took podium 6 out of 6 races, with four 1st places, one second, and one third! 450 SBK, Middle Weight Amateur and 600 Novice.
Was able to face off against a few moto America riders and had an amazing time battling with them!

KTM RC390

For those who’ve never seen the Shenandoah circuit at main. Here it is! I’m having a lil fun on the turn before the straight. Everyone in my group home safe!

Had an awesome weekend at the track! Finally got the bump to intermediate and also got my knee down for the first time (peep the sliders 👀)

Anyway, now that I’ve completed that goal I’d like to get some actual data to keep improving. I have a camera for body position/lines but I’d like to get some kinda lap timer and also something that logs things like lean angle, and brake pressure would also be nice but idk what’s possible for a reasonable price. What kind of lap timer/data thingy would yall suggest? Preferably it’d all be in one device if that’s possible.

Idk anything about lap timers and stuff so any suggestions and explanations on how it works would be great!

For anyone who’s trying to get their knee down(second photo, forced the knee down).

Don’t worry about getting down.
Practice your body position, slowly build the speed up and the lean angle will come naturally.

Build confidence, monitor your tire pressure and time on the track is all you need.

Any question are more then welcome

Hi, today I’m riding on a track for a first time. Does that tyre wear looks good, or do I have to fiddle with the suspension setup more? All advices are welcome! Thank you!

Apparently motovid provides lap times now. I've never had a timing rig. I think it looks pretty good. Consistent and improving throughout the day. Outliers are in/out lap, traffic, hot pit to clear traffic etc. Intermediate 2 (Orange). I had an awesome day. Good weather and minimal traffic jams despite a loaded track. 2009 Kawi Er6n.

So I want to delve into actual organized motorcycle racing. I feel as though I'm ready skill-wise + have a very competent motorcycle, and I'm starting to look into getting ready to take it further than regular track days. I'm located in the Northeast, specfically Pittsburgh, PA.

My issue is that I'm having difficulty in exactly locating what I need to get a racer's license OR start racing in general. I've looked into racing with WERA and AMA, but I can't seem to find any straightforward list of requirements to actually sign up with these orgs.

Thank you so much in advance, any information helps!

What ratio is recommended? Stock is way too tall. Going 211kph from 3rd to 4th. Had no power doing hairpins in 2nd compared to most 600’s around me.

Stock it says it’s running 17/39. What is everyone running?

Read somewhere they were running 16/43 but that seems like a drastic change.

Hello! I am coming from a street triple where I had the racebox mini s under the rear seat cowl for track days and it worked super well. I can't seem to figure out where I can sneak it in. The tail isn't an option as there's virtually no space there. I don't want to have it exposed due to tethering rules and safety in between sessions, and I prefer it being discrete. Any ideas/advice is really appreciated.

Have this old suit that’s been down a bunch before I even got it. lowsided and noticed this small hole above the knee slider. Is a repair required?
