Switch direction of rear tire.

Spend money on lesson's before performance parts.
Oh.....and be sure to hug your bear before you ride.
If you have a big crash and your front end feels and looks kinda tweaked -
make sure you loosen up your axle pinch bolts before adjusting, this will
assist the in the realignment.
And hey, sometimes it MIGHT not be your handlebars that are messed up -
might be the rubber-mounted mounts underneath the clamps....of course
this usually includes the tweaking of the bars...
At an auto parts store, buy a 50 pack of them surgical gloves for filters and bedroom....
Oh and don't have sex the night before a race. Unless there's a girl that wants to then forget that advice..
Oh, and on starts, keep both feet in FRONT of the pegs and make the first shift with your heel.
Put EVS levers on a new bike before you even ride it. Its a money saver in the long run.
Pit Row
Dust your tubes and inside the tires with baby powder before installing.
Do NOT tighten your valve stem nut against the rim. Leave it loose or tighten it against the valve cap (look at the rear valve stem on the 2010 YZ 450 in the new Transworld poster).
1) Always come early to the starting gate to watch the a previous moto or two before you start.. So you can observe the moto herd roll call to the start. All clubs are different.
2) Do a quick routine to check your bike is ready before proceeding into the starting or gate or even in pits before heading down to start. Gas on check.. Gas cap on.. check.. etc.. This saves major embarassment but more importantly, you won't waste a moto to stupid mistake.
3) Line up on inside of turn if your first race. Safest spot is staying far right to get a feel for it..
4) Take someone with you if you can to the start that has race before, will be a huge confidence builder on the start gate and help you relax..
5) At your first practice on race day.. Always try to practice at least two laps like you would in race.. You will be much more confident in your moto to get a feel for the pace during practice.
6) Prepare to feel getty when they tell you to start your engines.. This is normal and the fun start.. Just remember to relax and have fun.. The start of a moto is 50% of fun of racing..
7)This is a important riding safety tip with alot riders on the track with you. Hold your line. Don't make abrupt lane changes! Especially before or on jumps in the air...Rubbin is racing works for the pros, remember in amateur, you have to race with the same people every weekend, so don't do anything you'll regret when racing them next weekend or even apologize after the race if it was unintentional..
On ANY Kawasaki - use the red - flavored Threadlock shtuff on every bolt that
you think would never loosen up. I don't know what it is about the
green bikes, but nothing seems to stay tight on 'em...
Especially, subframe bolts, sprocket bolts plastic and seat bolts....

Next time you desire a poor finish or major yard-sale/ train wreckage -
invite friends from work or grandma and grandpa to attend a race.
Guaranteed that an ominous cloud will be released by the water-truck that
contains evil spirits - that will be absorbed by your heavily -oiled Twin-Air -
that will be ingested by your internal-calamity engine - resulting in
profanity and ill-feelings towards your fellow man.
Invitees = Carnage. Called it.
