Same here. I did just buy a Dimple drain plug for my Street Triple. It was pricey, but it has an amazing magnet on it. I do plan on getting one for the Tracer. Dimple Magnetic Drain Plugs – All magnets are not created equal

I plan on going with the R&G Tail Tidy and the Integrated Taillight setup from Blaster X 2019-2020 Yamaha Tracer 900 GT Blaster-X Integrated LED Tail Light – Custom LED Yamaha Tracer 900/GT Ultra-Bright Programmable Integrated LED Tail...

Another vote for the Evotech.

The D222's didn't embarress themselves on the track. That being said, I do have a set of Angel GT's ready to spoon on...

I can't wait for it to be repaved. Maybe with some decent asphalt, I will have the nerve to take the "kink" with some speed....

I love the track and it helps that it is only an hour from my house. The only downside, is that it will chew up a rear tire(see above) in one day. Most of the seasoned guys that run it on a regular basis run slicks, so they can flip the rear tire. Is she your Ex because of the wrecked R6? Asking for a friend...

I think I had one scrape on the center-stand. I made it a point to ride at 8/10's. Considering OEM touring tires and a lack of crash protection. I am 200lbs in my birthday suit and probably 220-230lbs with my leathers, boots, etc.

You are correct. What I meant to say was that I am not going to address that right now. That will probably be an off-season project.

I recently bought a new 2020 Tracer GT as a do it all bike that would be just as comfortable taking my wife on a date, as it would be on a track day. My plan was to add some crash protection and eventually take it to the track as a second bike and just explore the limits of it. After having 2 months of track days canceled due to some virus going around, I was pleasantly surprised to see that Carolina Motorsports Park in Kershaw,SC was finally opening back up and P.R.E. the track day group I ride with, announced that the June 6th session was a go. This caught me off guard, as both of my bikes that I have been modding for track duty were not ready to ride. Since I had already paid for the day and I had a perfectly capable bike in the garage in the Tracer, I decided to give it a proper break-in. I had put about 400 miles on it, so I went ahead and changed the oil/filter and starting prepping the bike for the track. I am happy to report that the bike did fantastic overall. I was able to turn some pretty fast laps and was able to get within 1 second of my personal best on that track, that I did last year on a 2007 R6. I did find some limitations of the bike, when pushed hard: #1 The stock tires fairly inadequate for the track. This I knew going into it, but it is worth mentioning. Thankfully, I toasted the rear tire and can now put something a little sportier on it. #2 I found that I was bottoming out the forks on hard braking, even with the preload all the way in. I probably won't address this, since I don't plan on taking the Tracer to the track very often. You can see in the 3rd pic below that my zip tie is at the bottoming out point of the fork. #3 The stock brake setup is great on the road, but not up to snuff on the track. I was getting a decent amount of brake fade and on one occasion almost complete failure, due to fade and the ABS trying to compensate. SS lines and sintered pads should resolve this. Again, overall the bike performed better than I could have predicted. I found myself passing 600 class bikes with ease. They would be able to pull me on a straight, but if I carried enough speed through a corner, the HP difference didn't matter. Here is the rear tire. The right side is completely shot.
