Professionals vs noob

If u ever got the chance to watch professional riders on a track day you know that what they can do is simply mental and they make u feel like you’re standing still like me, i was lapping in the 1:10s while they were doing 0:55s/56s

Coolant leak only when starting from cold/idle? Help, tuono 660 fa 2024

The motorcycle has been sitting in the van for a few days. Today I went to the track, unloaded it, and let it warm up before heading out. Once it reached operating temperature, I turned it off. Shortly after, I noticed a small puddle of coolant and that the radiator was leaking from the top center. To avoid wasting the day, they sent me to a store to get some liquid leak sealant. A few minutes later, after buying it, I returned to the bike and there wasn’t a single drop of fluid on the ground. I rode to a mechanic’s shop; the bike even sat for more than 30 minutes to cool down, and in the meantime, it didn’t leak a thing.

The mechanic adds the coolant sealant to the system, and I head back out on the track. The bike seems fine—I manage to do laps for about 20 minutes—then I return to the pits and let it sit while i rest for about 30 minutes before heading out again, and it doesn’t leak a single drop. When the day is over, I head home. the bike is cold, so I wash it. I start it up on a garage stand to run the chain so it dries out, finish drying the rest of the bike, park it in the garage, and notice it’s leaking fluid again. What’s going on?

Brake pads spreader springs for Tuono 660 factory

Hi, i am trying to fix the brake drag on my bike, i have cleaned and lubed the caliper's pistons, the retaining pins, alligned them by giving them a lil bit of free play, pumping the brakes, holding the brake lever then torquing them down, but my front wheel spins just about 1 rotation, with one side brake pads removed it spins 3 times, so i guess its kinda normal but it bothers me, are there any brake pads spreader springs for the tuono 660?
