immediately replace any tire not totally perfect but i dont know what you are thinking about, need a pic. research where you can get some take offs asp.
if this is a chicken strip, on a used bike its a good thing. indicates the rider never leaned to much

tire pressure, 30psi is a good starting point.

another must get would be a ebay .pdf copy of the service manual


most sportbikes have a few scratches and you will be putting on a few of your own.

have fun.
not my business... dont care... you may consider looking into some instruction. some local club track time and a local racer would do.

+1 on frame sliders

pics of the bike (I know it needs some work) and the tire i was talking about...

ya time to replace the tires. research where you can get race takeoffs matching front and rear as its bad to mix/match. racers wear the sides not the center. take offs are super discount and still functional. your initial needs likely lo performance.

you already have spools on the rear, get a rear bike stand, pit bull the best. you can get plastic slider spools instead and i recommend them. in a hard get off they protect. speaking,, no frame sliders yet.

i see the exhaust. on a sportbike always good to stay as much as you can under the radar. extra loud not my cup of tea, i get enough speeding tickets. it dosnt add much for performance. i owned one in the past.

cover your wheel weights with black duct tape.
buy some gear.

loose the mirrors, ghay
get some bar end sliders, mount a small convex mirror on the rt side.

i need mirrors for state inspection... or i would have them off... and the cheap ebay crap i got for inspection dont even fit.. lol I think i might get a set of the "Pig Spotters"

That's no chicken strip, get new tires ASAP.

why does it look like that ?

jah

in colorado you only need one mirror, i mounted a convex mirror on the left bar end slider. the mirror i have is somewhat useless but whatever. dont need to look back, difficult to spot cops but on the bike it would be a struggle for them to get up there and usually by then they have their lights on, to late.

why the tire wear?
over inflate? i am sure the problem will be gone with new tires, get take offs.
