Yeah, I saw that too

Oh and tyres......

Its my 1st trackday... what tyres should I put on the bike?

I have round, black ones, but I am not sure if they are black enough, or maybe they could be too black.

If they ARE too black, would going over the manufacturers name (Dunlop) and the range (Sportmax Qualifiers) in a tyre pen do enough to reduce the blackness?

And if not black enough, will used engine oil (which is pretty black, and cheaper than boot polish) liberally applied to my tyres make them black enough.

Thanks

Yep, good to see you too, although I wasn't sure if it was you in my mirrors or not so had to slow right down just to check

They'll be fine, just remember to drop the pressures.

I've been told 20/15 is about correct front/rear?

Doubt it. Even the SV runs higher than that, 31/30.

What are your road pressures?
