    What sort of costs are involved in doing a track day? Insurance costs,tyres, the day etc etc ? Cheers. Great video

      The price per day varies, you're probably best off checking the websites. I think I paid £100ish for insurance but again, that'll be different for everyone. As for tyres, if you have some decent rubber on your bike and they're not near death, then you should be able to get away with whats on now and still have lots of life left in them afterwards too. Doesn't really matter where you go, the food will be expensive so if your looking to cut costs bring a pack lunch 🤣 Oh an bring some Jerry cans as fuel is crazy expensive on sight.

    I've had bikes for well over 50 years and I've now had my MT10 for nearly 3 years and I'm utterly besotted by it. I don't recall any bike which has gathered such overwhelming love for them. By the way, your back tyre is how you judge how well you did. Good man.

    I have had my knee down. Of course it was me crashing that caused it to touch tarmac. And I was on my way home wearing khakis. And it wasn't Dianaise aliens that got scraped, it was the skin on my knee. You look great on the MT-10 out there, great video.

    The bike sounds awesome did you have to remove the servo with that exhaust? What tank grips are those?

    • @MercerVisualProductions
      @MercerVisualProductions  4 года назад

      If your just changing the exhaust then your best off leaving the servo where it is and just remove the cables from it, this will stop it throwing up an error code. This is in a earlier vid
      ruclips.net/video/7-jf5wOhw_w/видео.html
      If you get a remap with the woolich racing software, which I higly recomend then you can just tell it your removing it and then youy can get rid with no error codes.

    Great video, I have the same decat Scorpion exhaust on my MT10 and nervous it would be too loud for track. Did you have a issues with getting your bike through a sound test?

    • @MercerVisualProductions
      @MercerVisualProductions  4 года назад +1

      It's was a noisy day so no sound test 🙌
      Last year I took it to Caldwell an the noise limit was 105 and it blew 103.
      The only difference is it was the brushed stainless and not the carbon fiber one and I'm guessing the noise levels are the same but I'm not 100% sure.

    Great job! "It's funny how many times you can fall in love with the bike" - I know exactly what you mean; I've got mine almost a year ago, done around 17000kms on it and every single time I ride it, I am still fully erect for the whole duration of the ride lol. What tyre pressure did you use on the track btw? And this reminds me I still gotta get my +10hp JizzMachine sticker!

      There just amazing machines, I've never fallen in love with a bike as much as this one, an I've tried hundreds 🤣🤣 I'll be honest, I don't remember the tyre pressures but they were really low. I just took the advice given. Where abouts you from pal?
