TYRES

How do I know if my tyres are worn?

• Tread wear indicator bars are moulded into the tread grooves at regular intervals around the tyre to indicate when a tyre is worn to its limit of safety. Where it is difficult, is when your tyres are worn in the middle and not on the edges, or more on one side than the other. In any case, a training day will push your tyres and bike more than any other riding you do. If your tyres are at or close to the wear indicator is it safest for you and your motorcycle to invest in a new set of tyres.

What are the best Pressures?

• Riders in the streetSKILLS / RideSKILLS course – refer to your manufacturers guide for tyre pressure
• Riders in the trackSKILLS course – depending on your speed, tyre manufacturer, and track temperature, tyre pressures to vary. If you don’t know, please speak with us on the day.

Can I ride with a plug (puncture repair) in my tyre?

• No it is not recommended on the track. The pace and heat that your tyres experience on the track make a plugged tyre unsafe. It is best to replace the tyre for your ride day.

How much are your tyres at the track?

• We provide tyres and tyre fitting services at the track. Should you wish to purchase tyres please email us as soon as possible prior to the event so we can secure your order.

How much to change a tyre?

• If you bring up the rim, the tyre change price is $20 per tyre
• If you bring in the bike, the tyre change price is $40 per tyre

Do I need tyre warmers?

• No, you do not need tyre warmers.

MIRRORS

Do I need to tape my mirrors?

• Your mirrors should be removed OR taped over glass OR folded back. The reason for this to keep your attention on what is happening in front of you. It is the responsibility of the rider behind you to keep a safe distance and pass in a safe manner.

Do I need to bring my own tape to tape my mirrors?
