Well I mananed a lap and a half. Something seriously wrong with my bike after the crash at brands, but there is nothing obvious. So 3 hours drive there 4 1/2 back, 3/4 of tank of fuel, £90 trackday, arse of a noise tester 103.7!!!

What a good day

At least i have found out now and not on test day before race.

we only did 2 more sessions after you went, and I only did a couple of laps as my oil light kept coming on...lots of oil so wonder what that is?!

Probably/more than likely a duff switch, change it or put a direct feed gauge in place of the switch to read the pressure directly.

wondered if it was because its wet. Light was on very faintly until last session when flat out it came ping on. Bike seems to run ok, and oil level fine

Whats a direct feed, where do I get one and how do I chnage it?!

Just a union to screw in, in place of the pressure switch, which has a pipe connected to a guage. Most sevice garages or handy mechanic should have one. I have one here, but I'm not very handy, geographically speaking.

Personally I'd be worried and you ought to ride it like Miss Daisey, so you don't hurt it any more.

TBH I was amazed to be hiiting 9k in top in those conditions at the end of bently and 8k on the start/finish. And I was riding like Daisy

Think I may try a 15t front and see if it can pull...

When I raced ( I use that term loosely ) Her Paul that light would be on faint first thing on a dewy morning and on full when wet.

did it have any problems Craog or did you just live with it? Didnt happen that I can remember at Oulton, although no fairing then so maybe I just didnt see it...
