What to bring for motocross training

WHAT TO TAKE TO A MOTOCROSS TRAINING SESSION

Ten minutes in the garage the evening before you leave is all it takes. Checking a few things on the bike and topping up the equipment box will save you plenty of trouble at the track.

Bike

• pressure in tyres

It is not just about pressure. Also check the condition of the knobs and sidewalls. A worn tyre can ruin the entire training session.

• chain

Correct tension, lubrication and a quick check of the rear and front sprockets.

• brakes

How much material is left on the pads? Are the discs damaged?

• air filter

After a dusty training session, the filter should be cleaned and oiled. The quickest solution is to have a second one ready.

• fluids
  • engine oil
  • coolant
  • brake fluid
  • bolt tightness
• Handlebars, footpegs, levers, discs, plastics
• Fuel can.

Before leaving, check that you have enough fuel for the entire training session.
