    Racing Prepping

    I am trying to get my hawk ready for this up coming race.
    I've done all that is major to the bike that will make it run. But I am not sure what to do to get it "race" ready.
    Does anyone have a check list they go thru or guidelines?
    So far I have safety wired, I have to finish that up.
    I am putting slicks on (probably not a good idea for a rookie, but Andy sold them to me for cheap)
    I finally got a catch bottle to put on.

    Thats all I got or think of. Did I miss anything??

    This is probably a ridiculous thred to start . . .but I am a virgin at this.

    THANKS GUYS
    Kid

    Trade ya the slicks for a set of DOT's

    Safety wire, gassed, clean and running, lube the chain, double check the torque on EVERYTHING (bolts), Have you set you sag?

    Make a ton of notes, where is your suspension at? I am sure the Hawk Nation can look it over and make sure it is good to go.

    make sure its full of oil, gas, and water

    make sure the front brake works, throttle snaps back, kill switch works.

    double check all open bolts/nuts that you can see to make sure they are snug

    thats about all I do. if you are looking for specifics, others with more experience can probably pipe in.
