some tracks wont let you on with out one, others dont care weather you do or dont,

however, if it does go bang, or you forget to tightn your sump plug it will save alot of time cleaning up the track

1. Some axel bobins - these can be made from cheap skateboard wheels or you can do what i done and get somes custom ones made (cost �£80+ mind).

2. A sump catch tray - this can be made out of a 5L petrol can, slice the bottom off and then cable tie it to the brackets for the skid plate.

3. A carb overfill bottle or can, these can be found on ebay or you can just make one youself by any semi hard container. Just make a few holes in the cap and your set.One for the overfill pipe another for the bottom of the float chamber and then make sure you have a small breather hole as without this your bike will not be able to fuinction properly.

4. Protection- Your gona need some propper protection, my advice is if you wana go into supermoto and road racing then buy the best in your buget. Its expensive at the begining but once youve fallen off pretty bad and came out with no burns over ur A$$ ur be thanking ur luckey stars as they hurt like hell. I think Phoenix's rules state that you need full leathers with propper racing boots and a approved helmet or full MX gear with all the pads and stuff. its the riders decision i guess but i use one-piece leathers and road boots and gloves.

5. Lock yourself up! - Lockwire your Sump and dip stick - you can pick up a lockwireing tool fairly cheap. Basicly it stops your bolts coming loose and spilling crap all over the track and causing havock in you line. It consists of a plier typre tool and thin and extreemly strong wire. the plier tool spins around and makes the ure wrap around its-self and keep a strong grip on the other parts.

6. Tyres - one of the most important things your gona need. Basicly your gona need a set of 10" rims as there is no decent, race rubber for 12" exept the road legal stuff . I personaly use Bridgestone BT39's as i find them to be a good all rounder but alot of people use SAVA mc18's. in my experience ive found them to bee very very soft - too soft. one of my close friends James East actually crashed and broke his knee because of them being too soft on a hot day they just melted away while he was racing and turned to gew. hes since had to have 2 operations to repair his knee but back to his normal race wining self. he showd me that by winning his class in GP125 the other weekend and getting the fastest lap while at it.

well thats all i can think of at the moment but if you feel ive missed something out PM me and ill stick it in, me signing off. Speak to ya soon guys and gals

Tom
bit of a vain view there mate as you can get mc18 softs in 12s as well, some people like using 12s in tarmac racing because the bike is more stable,but with 10s the bike turns faster and tends to pick up faster because they are lighter, ps i have tried most tyres and have found savas the best for feel and grip

Re: How to get your pitbike on the track!

tbh i prefer 12", they just give you that lil bit more hieght on the bike and also you can get hold of scooter tyres to fit the 12" rim which works just as well
