Clean your motorcycle. This allows you to double check all key areas to check nothing is loose (which is relevant in step 10.) In addition, it makes it easier to check the motorcycle at technical inspection (built of the event.)
Take away your center stand. It's for safety on the track. Almost all agencies require center stand removal. This is especially true for any more advanced (and for that reason faster) groups. Some organizations and tracks may request you to also remove your kickstand (side stand.)
Remove or tape up your mirrors. Sometimes removal is not an option, since it may be the only way your fairing is supported. In that case, tape up the mirrors to make sure that if they contact the bottom, the glass does not fall out on to the track surface.
Tape up your headlight(ohydrates)and signals. This comes with the tail light and license plate light. If you possibly can, remove the fuse for the headlight. With the headlight off, it reduces that possibility of tape residue sticking for a headlight. Make sure to position the fuse back in before riding in the street again.
Check your controls, meaning clutch connection, throttle cable, brake lever, clutch lever, rear brake lever, together with kill switch for proper operation. If they get it wrong tech, you will have to get them fixed before you are allowed on the monitor. Doing it before you're allowed the track saves you stress if you have to do it while you are at the track. You are anticipating getting in the track and now you have to work on the off road bike. Very stressful.
When you check your brakes, ensure you have enough brake pads to make it through the affair. Riding hard on your racetrack will also cause you to use your brakes even harder. Drain your radiator and replace the glycol based coolant with water and then a coolant substitute, such since Water Wetter or Engine Ice. Glycol based coolants are not allowed on the racetrack since they cannot evaporate and leave this track surface slick (like oil.)
Secure your wheel weights (taped) in the rims. It prevents them from flying off while you're at high speed.
Make sure you have good valve arises and valve caps on the wheels.
For those who have hard point saddle bags, remove the bags. Your mounts can usually continue to be.
If you have auxiliary lights, it is advisable to remove them. If they are fork mounted, they adversely affect handling of course, if they are frame mounted, they may become damaged in the instance of a dropped bicycle . If you give the lights on, tape them up. (If you have an on/off switch, leave them off. If you can not turn them off, take away the fuse.)

Great things come from humble beginnings. Nothing embodies this truth more than Harley-Davidson. The brand began as an experiment between four friends in the guy's garage and proceeded to become the premier manufacturer of motorcycles all over the world.
