What else will i need for a good season for trackdays? I crashed at brands so had to get new fairings and a tank which ive got....Ive also brought a PC3, Adjustable rearsets, wets on wheels. I plan to change the road tyres for track tyres.

Are tyre warmers worth the money for a novice into inters?

Ive got tools, paddock stands etc.......anything else missing?? 

Foot pump and tyre pressure gauge. Jerry can and funnel. I'd say if you can afford tyre warmers then
get some.

Ive got a couple of jerry cans, jiggle tube instead of a funnel, gauge, footpump. Ive been offered a set of tyre warmers for £80....no idea if thats a good price or not?

Diamonds changed a few years ago - depends on how old they are.

From memory, they are 5 years old

I recently sold my set of the older Diamond tyre warmers for £85

Had them for quite a few years and could never be hassled to use them.


As for kit......Gaffer tape and cable ties obviously, wets on wheels are a nice addition and can keep you going when things get a bit wet.  Make sure that the tools you have actually fit, ie spindle nut socket etc.  What I did was emulate what I might need to do trackside and made sure that any tools that fell outside of the normal ones get packed in the trackday toolbox when I go.

One of the best bits of kit you can get for trackdays is............A chair

If they are in good working order then £80 is around what they're worth - I'd look at a brand new set of Race Techs for about £30 more..........

And a performance pasty

Good shout....chair, kettle and pasties!!

I think I have some spare diamond warmers, the elasticated type. Will check the trackday box

A selection of GoPro cameras and mounts cos there is no point being a hero if no-one sees it.

Mechanic x2

Ohlins Toolkit
KTEC Toolkit

Who said the fun had gone out of it.

mc101.... I reckon you should join my trackday team....I can provide seating pasties and the use of a cardboard cut out of kelly brook....(optional cling film and ky).
