Track Day checklist

pdog · 10-17-2009, 07:56 PM

I checked my oil tonight before the track day tomorrow and found out I'm below the minimum line. Elite Track Days saved me from a grenaded engine!

Good. But why was it low to start with?

exactly what i was thinking. Could be burning a little oil have a leak or you just dont pay attention!

Possibly it's burning a little, possible it's dripping, although I haven't seen more than a drop or two on my garage floor since I changed the oil 6 months ago. The D675 has a reputation for burning a bit of oil too although mine never did.

I just had to add a 200-300ml to get it back to the full line so I guess it wasn't too bad.

Most singles will use oil (if it's in fact your DR you're talking about)

When I first got the MZ I was worried, but then the MZ boards all said they used oil if ridden hard...supermotojunkie also provided the same assurance

I just have the DRZ. It performed like a champ today, although the stock suspension is reaching its limit.

You're welcome, Mike

Ah so you were the quick DRZ out there, just recognized your leathers/bike from your avatar.

Yep. The slower the bike, the faster I seem to go.
