hey guys im new to this board. Not a racer be any means just did a couple of track days last year and want to get off the streets now. I have an 06 GSXR and want to start tracking it out. WHere should I start? I just want a basic setup nothing to crazy or expensive to start with..Thanks p.s. I already have amour bodies plastics.
Sell the stock fairings to pay for track day's and enjoy. You'll know what ya wanna do further down the road. Have your suspension sag setup, keep your fluids fresh, chain,sprockets and tires in excellent order and your havin fun.
What he said, or you can pick up a track dedicated bike. If you're just getting into trackdays, the bike really needs nothing. It probably isn't the weak link here As you ride more and talk to people at the track, you'll learn what sort of stuff you'll want to do to the bike.

Important: Suspension (correct springs for weight, have a tuner at the track set for you) Steel-braided brake lines Good tires. You don't need DOT race, but any solid street / track tire. Search the board for a ton of options. Optional, but eventually: Rearsets Clip-ons Case savers Exhaust Fuel tuner Rearsets Lap timer New gearing (change teeth in sprockets) Have fun!
+1 . . Agreed . . . with the costs of trackdays and tires, I would focus all my funds on getting to the track to do what you enjoy doing . . . . that being said, if I were to make an initial investment in a couple things (funds permitting) they would be these, in order: -Frame and swingarm sliders -Case covers -lap timer Also, for money best spent, I'd invest in a set of tirewarmers if you haven't already . . . you can live without 'em, but once you've had 'em you'll never go back . . just my .02
Lap timer is a plus. It lets you know how your progressing and if what your changing from lap to lap is working.
Track time, track time, track time. That will make you faster than any goodies. Since you will be starting in novice all you really need is tires with 75% tread and some painters tape then go to a trackday.
