Default Misc. Zip-Tieing

Now that you have your mirrors firmly in place there are a couple of other things that need to be done. First are the passenger foot pegs. They can be easily secured to the post they are attached to, as shown in picture 1.

The second is your kickstand. I am going to show you this now (because my bike happened to be on the rear stand at the time) but you may want to wait until you are at the track to do this. It makes life a lot easier if you wait until the very end to do this. For the R6, just run the zip tie between the shifter and the bike. Secure to a stable portion of the rear set as I have shown in picture two.
NOTE: The track I go to allows this. You need to verify that the track you are going to will allow your kickstand to be tied, some may require you to remove it. But since all newer bikes have the safety switch in them...you know, you fill your bike up with gas, everyone is looking at you, you start your bike, put it in gear and it dies because your kickstand is down and then you feel like a super dork....Zip tieing it up should be sufficient....ugly things happen on the track if your kickstand should happen to come down in a turn. Even if the track you go to does not require it, I highly recommend securing your kickstand just for safety's sake.
Remember to snip off the zip tie excess once you have snugged them all down.
