696 on Track Day - cooling related topic - Ducati Monster Forums: Ducati Monster Motorcycle Forum

This may be a dumb question but I'm not a complete gear head (still learning). I'm headed to my first track day on my 2009 Monster 696 in two days. In reading the track's guidelines they say all anti-freeze must be removed and replaced with water or racing coolant.

Since my monster is air-cooled, do I need to worry about this at all? I wasn't sure if there was an oil cooler versus engine cooler on these bikes and if this was something I needed to worry about.

Thanks for the education! BTW, I'm going to Loudon, NH on Friday.

I did my first track day last August at Putnam Park on my 696. You have nothing to worry about as far as your bike being track ready. You will have the time of your life as long as you ride within your limits. I'm sure more of the guys on the DML have lots of track day tips for you
