Thanks for this. Totally changed my game, took 5 minutes off my lap times easy. I took home the track day trophy in all three rider groups last time out!
When im at the track i like to take my brake and clutch leavers off as it reduces drag at the front of the bike...i also remove the oil as it saves alot of weight and it helps with weight transfer into the corners...
Please continue tip#4! I really do camp out at Chuckwalla, or any track, and I don’t use an alarm clock to wake up. The bikes starting in the morning are my alarm clock and tell me to get up for registration, tech, bike on stands with warmers, coffee with a light breakfast, and then riders meeting
Love getting to see all the behind the scenes stuff and the day to day stuff you do during the off season. Can't wait to see you dominate this year on the new machine, good luck and stay safe out there
7:38 is the real track day tip that he shortchanged all his viewers on. Use jet fuel. This can be obtained from areas in and around either 1 us military air base installations (the boys like to drink in establishments near them, find one, hustle him in pool and he'll have 55 gallon drums of Uncle Sam's premium Blue Angel Blend. Top. Tier stuff for max horsepower and gives the bike a stronger power band. Or 2,any local commercial airport, bars in the area will have disgruntled mechanics, hustle them pool and get yourself of Jet Blue or SouthWest premium. Essentially this is glorified pump fuel 96 octane, but hey, if you think you're fast, you'll look fast and you'll go fast, another pro secret. Twist'er till you see sky ground sky ground sky ground sky ground rapidly. Cause second place is for the Herrins in the world. Let's BOOGIE!
The best tip is the mirror tip! One thing you missed Josh is that you can adjust your mirror up and down to fine tune the drag for each corner!! 🤣🤪👍🇺🇸 awesome vid!
Thanks Josh, these tips will get me into advanced group for sure on my first track day - and I will already have a lot of friends when I get out on the track for the first session!
Some of my best life memories and friends were made at the race tracks. mainly Texas world speedway. I am a doctor now and due to the nature of my job i cannot risk injury on two wheels. But man ! watching track day stuff puts a huge smile on my face. If Eve was made out of Adams rib, what did he make bikes out of...
First video of yours I’ve ever seen. And I couldn’t wrap my head around your mirror comment... watched the rest of the video and I can see at least half of what you say is bullshit, and I love it. Subbed
Lines and comfortable body position, loosening arms was also my first track day lessons, I usually used to take the inside lines just cause was used to that on the road but taking a bit wider and better lines to get you on the gas earlier helps
Please keep doing content like this! Especially that last part, tips about stiffness delivering negative input. Shit is golden 🙌🏽🙌🏽 Also I’d like to get a pic with u at cota this year if possible
Mate awsum best tips ever I thought I knew everything Why don’t you ride with those tyre warmers things on all the time?so the tyres stay hot all the time and you can ride like moto gp and the ama riders Thanks heeeeps Josh your a legend and one of my heroes Cheers mate🏍🏍🍻😎🤙
I'm curious to to know Josh's clutch control or clutch management. Speed shifting Short shifting and Down shifting maintain high roll speed when cornering. I know he shouldn't reveal any race strategies. But I've seen or may have seen something that makes Josh Herrin #2 such a dangerously spectacular road racer.
Is that my friend, the world famous Matt (surname saved to protect the innocent) at 1:19? We worked together and have ridden a few times. He's the one that got me - finally - out to the track!
I just Subscribed to your channel, I would love to take one on one tips/training from you, but since I live on the absolute East Coast and your clearly on the West Coast I’ll have to settle for your videos for now 🙃 that and I’m sure you don’t ride/train just anyone. Stay safe, great video 👍👍👍
Great video Josh 👌 but you forgot to give us the most important tip of all.......make sure you’re paddock stand is not attached to your bike when leaving for the track!! 😂😂😂
Adam Stratford yea really. Worst I’ve done is left the vortex gas cap off at homestead and got a face full of fuel after the middle straight turn 7 hard breaking point. The tire warmer guy is on TH-cam I’ll try and find it for you. I was there that day
Adam Stratford I was there this day and just happen to be behind the guy with the go pro. This was on an intermediate session at Jennings GP. I was like whoa wtf is going on then realized what happened th-cam.com/video/hvT5Wn8x6_8/w-d-xo.html
I put a Velcro strip across the top of the screen and on my helmet...for the long back straights..it keeps my head stuck down so I don’t lose time due to drag......😆😆
taping your light is a bit old school. It was originally brought in as a glass light would shatter and leave broken glass on the track. a polycarbonate lens doesn't do this so why is it still required?
How do you get into track riding? I have been street riding for a few years on a 600 and am stepping up to a 1000 or Hyabusa this year. Any advice you can give would be greatly appreciated. I understand tracks have track days and crap but I dont understand the AMA licensing CRAP or really any of the process. Keep up the good work.
I like and respect what you’re doing and you might not need me or my suggestion but I would love to see you do these vlogs but try not to needlessly cuss. Humble rider. Thank you and God bless your life
Sorry for the weird audio! Bought a new mic and clearly have no idea what I'm doing. P.S. that shot of Josh dragging the stand wasn't staged hahaha
😂😂😂😂😂
Sure it was ;)
Nick van der Vegt 😂😂😂
that was priceless hahahaha
Thanks for this. Totally changed my game, took 5 minutes off my lap times easy. I took home the track day trophy in all three rider groups last time out!
LMFAO 😂
hahahah
Alex S that’s what I’m talking about! Had to have been the mirror tip! 😂
Tip #1, level 2: Personally, I switch the side of my mirror in the straights to prepare for the next corner.
When im at the track i like to take my brake and clutch leavers off as it reduces drag at the front of the bike...i also remove the oil as it saves alot of weight and it helps with weight transfer into the corners...

Has to be the coolest most down to earth racer around and seriously talented
Awesome content Josh !! I am just counting the days for the beginning of the season.
Dude...you just blew my mind with the boot tip. I've been doing it wrong for years! lol. Thanks for posting.
DYING of laughter at the motor revving in the early AM track tip. "Gets the heart going and great for the engine"
The helium tip really helps preserve tires. They just don’t wear as quick. Really cool stuff here.
I don’t know about all the first few tips but I might follow the boots one
Gotta listen to the professionals man
Thanks dude for the pro tips, you are my favorite rider out there out there, keep up the great work my friend.
I LOVE SARCASM!!! Thanks for the Tips(?)! Gonna go out and put my right side mirror on!!!
Josh Herrin is that dude🤙 I hope you kill it this season at MotoAmerica!
The rev bombing tip was my favorite
Great video - no more masking tape with TrakBrand - thanks for the tip!
Thanks Josh, these tips will get me into advanced group for sure on my first track day - and I will already have a lot of friends when I get out on the track for the first session!
This is a guy that has camped at the track before....Everyone that has knows exactly what hes making fun of @ 5.15
Just subscribed...have my first track day this month, petrified and super excited. Going to binge watch everything now!
excited for this year!! ... are you going to have behind the scenes video's of your races? that will be pretty cool!
This is my kinda humor! Outstanding videos and props to the editor.
Great video man! Hilarious first 5 minutes lol. Staying loose on the bike has saved my ass more than I can count. Couldn't have said it better 🤘
Freaking hilarious! The one mirror pro tip got me cracking up!!

z beshears 😂😂😂 at least you have a good sense of humor. A lot of people got mad at me for that.
Josh Herrin ah fuck those people, no one likes those people. Those kinda jokes only let you know who you’d be getting along with anyhow
“People are dumb”.. literally all that needed to be said. Tip #4 is my fav.
#4 is the reason I stay at hotels now lol
Oh dear god. Love the tip about waking me up early to rev your bike up.
I'm def gonna try tip #3 on my Harley!
Finally a solid "pro tips" video
Dont be one of those guys! .... Proceeds to drag stand lol
Lines and comfortable body position, loosening arms was also my first track day lessons, I usually used to take the inside lines just cause was used to that on the road but taking a bit wider and better lines to get you on the gas earlier helps
awesome content! Nick and Josh great duo !
Please keep doing content like this! Especially that last part, tips about stiffness delivering negative input. Shit is golden 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Also I’d like to get a pic with u at cota this year if possible
I'll keep em coming! See you at COTA. Lets get a pic for sure!
Dude holy crap... That supertech R tip is great. Just wore mine for the first time this weekend in Houston and was putting them on all wrong.
Mate awsum best tips ever
I thought I knew everything
Why don’t you ride with those tyre warmers things on all the time?so the tyres stay hot all the time and you can ride like moto gp and the ama riders
Thanks heeeeps Josh your a legend and one of my heroes
Cheers mate🏍🏍🍻😎🤙
Thank you so much for watching and leaving an awesome comment! I appreciate it! Ride safe!
Best of luck Josh this season!
Dope vid. Can't wait to get after it this season.
Track day tip #4 had me rolling 😂😂😂
AWESOME VIDEO... THANKS FOR DOING THIS GUYS! (SEE YOU AT ROAD ATLANTA NEXT WEEKEND JOSH!)
Love the tips, its gotta make me faster if I can learn them all.
Can't wait to get to the track to try out your tips😂😂
I see a Moto America championship for him this year I feel he's the fastest and one of the most skilled on the grid
thanks for the support bro! 👍🏻

Realy usefull Tips Josh I will spread it over germany so we all can get better trackday riders :D
Who knew Josh Herrin was such a funny guy... subbed.
I just Subscribed to your channel, I would love to take one on one tips/training from you, but since I live on the absolute East Coast and your clearly on the West Coast I’ll have to settle for your videos for now 🙃 that and I’m sure you don’t ride/train just anyone.
Stay safe, great video 👍👍👍
I'll never forget the first time i saw the super tech R video on your Instagram. Blew my mind.
It's nuts how many people don't know about that.
Actually didn’t know that about the proper way to put on super techs. Will implement this new methodology immediately. 🤓
What a nut...Love it ! Go Josh..
If youre gonna put the circle ball on your tank then make sure u never stare or look at it you should look at where you wanna turn or go
What helmet do you use ?
Make sure you rev the bike all the way to the limiter when it's cold af...
What a great spirit...JH!
Awesome video, love the humour!
Great video Josh 👌 but you forgot to give us the most important tip of all.......make sure you’re paddock stand is not attached to your bike when leaving for the track!! 😂😂😂
I’ve seen a guy do that once and ride on track with the rear warmer on
Jeramithehuman wtf 😂😂
Adam Stratford yea really. Worst I’ve done is left the vortex gas cap off at homestead and got a face full of fuel after the middle straight turn 7 hard breaking point. The tire warmer guy is on TH-cam I’ll try and find it for you. I was there that day
Adam Stratford I was there this day and just happen to be behind the guy with the go pro. This was on an intermediate session at Jennings GP. I was like whoa wtf is going on then realized what happened
th-cam.com/video/hvT5Wn8x6_8/w-d-xo.html
Jeramithehuman what bike is it you ride bro?
I put a Velcro strip across the top of the screen and on my helmet...for the long back straights..it keeps my head stuck down so I don’t lose time due to drag......😆😆
These are great tips. Can you tell me where I can buy the helium for my suit?
lol. shoulda known this wasn't gonna be serious. Loved the vid.
The over-revver, why do they do this? Can't wait to see guys without a rear seat now. Haha. Good luck this season, JH.
Removing passenger seat also removes weight up high. Win win.
Its good for your motor and good for my heart, plus you gotta wake up the sleeping people.
Awesome content very well done!
I have the same exact bike and I love it!
Thx bro, sending all my blessings from India 🙏
You crack me up!! I miss the R1 though
"There's probably people sleeping" HAHAHA
Nice! Watching you from Philippines
where is the link to that "track tape" stuff you mentioned . . . I have a 08 R6 and I'd like to get some
www.trakbrand.com/
Love your video keep it up
I would love the opportunity to do a track day in the states 🇺🇲
Not being a racer it is incredible to me that one mirror would make that much difference.
Thank you for watching! That was a joke. I need to work on my sarcasm a little. 😂
@@joshherrin No, dude, my bad. Shoulda picked up on it in the comments.
Dude, riding with the rear stand is like having support wheels. Don't hate on the noobs. ^^
Man i love your videos,where can i buy that tank mount or what is the name of it?
What track do you like more thunder hill or button willow?
Really helpful tips and loved the start😂😂
must be awesome having a pro racer as a friend
Great Tips
Matty A-stars jacket is Boss... Is it a Jacket or a track suit? Anyone know the name of it? Thanks!!!
hec feliciano this is the Alpinestars GP Tech V2. Here’s a link.

taping your light is a bit old school. It was originally brought in as a glass light would shatter and leave broken glass on the track. a polycarbonate lens doesn't do this so why is it still required?
I actually have no idea. I am just a sheep. I follow. 😂
Keep up the good work mate.
Leaving the one mirror on instead of the foot dangle 🤯
I heard that troll we met out at CotA was kinda fast. Didn't know he was an expert stand dragger too.
This was pretty good.
#4 had me dying 😂
What kind of oil do you run in your bikes? Thanks
Still LMAO! The "one mirror" track tip.....classic!
Can you do a vid on body position? Love your vlogs mate
Matty with the TMC hat. 🤙🏽 #LongLiveNip
How do you get into track riding? I have been street riding for a few years on a 600 and am stepping up to a 1000 or Hyabusa this year. Any advice you can give would be greatly appreciated. I understand tracks have track days and crap but I dont understand the AMA licensing CRAP or really any of the process. Keep up the good work.
Step 1. Skip the Busa and a 1000
Step 2. Book a track day
Step 3. Take some track lessons from more experienced riders
Stick with a 600. They’re way more fun.
Whats your preferred helmet.
I don't even wanna over how many heads those tips went ...
Keep em coming
It was cool to see you ripping around! How bout them butterflies??
Good stuff!
Not seeing the link for the track tape.
I like and respect what you’re doing and you might not need me or my suggestion but I would love to see you do these vlogs but try not to needlessly cuss. Humble rider. Thank you and God bless your life
Alan Austin thanks for the feedback, but that is just how I am at the track. Sorry. Not trying to be different for anyone.
