First track day tomorrow, brake fluid question and riding back...

I'm going to the track for the first time tomorrow. Changed tires to brand new and was going to change brake pads and fluid (almost 3 years now) 6.4 miles.

I sent my bike to a shop to get the coolant changed and he said I didnt need to replace brake pads after he looked at it (looked like there was 50% apparently).

Chat GPT seems to see I am due for a brake fluid replacement already since its past 2 years. Will I be fine at the track not changing it?

Also track day is 1 hr from here I am getting some help getting my bike to the track in the morning but I will have to ride my way home after the day is over which is a 1 hr commute. Will I be good to ride back home? I heard track kinda drains you alot, true for beginners?

Any help to the last two paragraphs would be helpfull. Bike is a 2023 CBR650R Honda

I plan to change the brake pads and fluid after this track day or end of this month before the next track day I decide if I like it tomorrow.

Thank you all.

First coolant drain showing metal debris?

I sent my bike to a local mechanic for a coolant change because I didn't have the time to figure out how to remove the fairings out and they mentioned upon draining they found tiny metal shaving/debris. They asked what my bike temps are and I told them usually a little over half the gauge which is normal for inline 4 I think. Also think the metal debris might just be remains from factory (residue) and especially since first coolant change.

Any concerns here?

Help I think I broke my bike!

I have my first track day coming up on July 5th and my bike is having issues rn

2023 Honda CBR650R

Couple weeks ago I had tried to install the flip and dip tail tidy and when installing the license plate light I messed up and popped the 7.5A fuse ( There was no horn, display, turn signals and rear) I replaced it with 7.5A from autozone and it was normal again for some reason the rear light license plate wouldnt light up still but I kept it hooked on (prolly was a dumb choice).

Today display isnt coming on and and horn is coming on but very faint. Not sure whats going on as fuse seems to be good. I got beep from doing the continuity test with the multi meter.

Is my battery dead? It looks like also the bike wont start....
