Are you using tire warmers? Track temps when you've crashed? Something on the track?

Don't take this the wrong way, but you are making me feel much better about the money I spent on Motoport gear.

S1125r - Motoport Kevlar rocks!! Should you ever go down, you will feel even better about money well spent.

CA- Yeah I know, that part really sucks. But it can be fixed and I bought the bike to ride. I would rather old glory have a few battle scars than be a trailer queen with 2" wide chicken strips and a poser for a rider.

FYI - while working on fixing the crash damage, I checked the tire pressure; 15lbs in the rear :-(
Once again, stupid is as stupid does.

Rod,

Race tires loose air. Lots of it, sometimes. Often I find my bike completely dead flat after a few days.

Check your pressures, HOT OFF WARMERS, before each race.

Yeah, I now have a pre-race checklist that I will go through EVERY time before a race or practice round. Thanks for the advise.
