My 749r suited and booted in it's track day body work ready for it's first track day at Mallory tomorrow

Chance to scrub the new tyres in and reduce the chicken strips

[Carbon749]

Also, meant to ask .... what tyre pressures for a track day ?

180 rear, 120 front Diablo Corsa

Looks good mate!

What trackday panels are they?

[Carbon749]

Panels are QB Carbon red gell coat panels that I have polished with Mer. Great if they get marked as they still show red rather than a paint under coat.

They are designed for a 2003 749/999 (used them on my last 749s) with grey swing arm so had to cut some of the belly pan away to clear the new style arm. Also had to enlarge the side stand cut out a little. Final mod was to drill new holes for the top fairing to pick up the holes in the mirror support's as the 2004 fairing is wider and flatter. Now it's all "fitted" I can do a full swap from road to track kit in 45 mins.

Side bungs are the R&G type that pick up on the engine mounts and frame. I leave the brackets (no bungs) on when I put the road kit back on.

Looks like it's gunna be quite warm with a chance of a shower or two.

Tyre pressures...

Front and rear 30/30 and adjust according to wear and feel.

[GsxrAge]

Yep I agree with Dom (ooerr)

I ran same pressures on mine But I have a diablo corsa front and standard Diablo rear, it would spin up on corner exit (not like Rossi) but it always felt OK.
