Bike: monster
Re: How to get your pitbike on the track!

i have raced my monster in supermoto for the past two seasons, you definatly need leathers, boots and good gloves. dont skimp on the helmet either. the racing is very competative and you can expect to crash quite regularly.I use sava intermediates as slicks are not allowed. I get through three to four sets per season they cost about £45 each,the racing is organised by phoenix racing in preston, they run classes for junior and senior (over sixteen) riders and the classes are 125cc,140cc and modified (ie anything goes,Takagowa and kitico engines etc).
The races are held over two days, practice saturday race sunday and all take place on kart circuits the next meeting is on the 29/30 sept at wilton mill and the one after that is teeside auto drome on 27/28 oct.They then run a winter series which all take place at wilton mill about once a month.if you fancy giving it a go I would recomend getting a few front sprockets, we use 16,17 and 18 tooth and 41/37 rear(you dont want to be on the limiter half way down the straight) also try to take clutch and brake lever spares as they tend to get broken if you fall

slicks are not allowed in supermoto racing, tyres have to be treaded most use sava mc18 intermediate soft.
