Go with a good group of people and they will help you out. Everyone here at SCS is great people do just let us know when and where you will be having your track day so you could pit with one of us.

It's an 09 yamaha fz6r. As for the tires, on the side it says battleax? 120/70 and 160/60 for the rears.. I think they're classified as sport touring tires? lol

Take the class, listen to the instructor, dont ride above your skill, speed will come!

That's ok. You will probably get good life out of those and for your first track day you'll be fine. But you may find once the speed increases, those might get a little greasy. Don't go buying new tires for your first trackday unless you have to. Who knows, you may do a track day and find that you don't even like them. You won;t know until you actually try though. As long as you got some tread depth, you should be ok. There is a trackday next Saturday in Pahrump. You should go check it out.

Meh... I STILL use sport touring tires. I'm not buying new tires every month >_<

Like i said, no need to buy new tires for your first trackday. If you decide to get serious though, the sport touring tires might get a little greasy as speeds increase.

I did my first track day with the OEM tires and they worked fine.

So did I. I actually did my first 3 on my stock tires. The last two of those 3 trackdays they were getting a bit greasy and they had about 3000 miles on then. Again, don't go out buying new tires just for your first track day.

Thanks guys much appreciated . Hopefully will be in Spring Mountain next month
