Glad you’re okay! Hope that you’ve got the 10 back up and running soon. Best thing to do after a crash is to get back on the horse, no doubt.
Crash looks exactly like one I had at one of my first track days (prob the 6-8 range) and I originally believed it to be on behalf of my shagged rear tire—was running it for ONE last session before lunch, of course lol.
After some coaching and then becoming a control rider it clicked: I was, at the time, too stiff on the bars. Smooth/great BP/good lines/good throttle control/etc but just slightly too stiff on the bars. Went into the slowest turn on the track (T8 @jennings GP) and the moment I opened the throttle I lost the rear and it just shit out and put me down on the low side and looks identical to your pics. Now that I’m barely touching the bars the rear (or front) steps out and just slaps my palm and catches and keeps rolling. Hopefully my experience helps & without video it’s impossible to know for sure, but I bet that may be what happened.
One question I didn’t see yet: were you riding with TC on 1 or totally off? May have high sided had the TC been on + too much pressure on the bars!

Hold the TC toggle away from you for about three seconds (bike running, stopped, in Neutral)! |

The fairings are by Pyramid Plastics, and the seat is a Seat Concepts cover in carbon. Thanks for the likes!  |

Thanks for the info on the seat...looks to be more padding on the tail end....I thought the Seat Concepts was "just a cover"? Did you add padding or something? How does it feel compared to stock?

The Seat Concepts is a cover AND foam. Huge improvement over stock. I,ve done 300 mile days with no problem. 20 minutes on the stock seat for me was enough!

Have had the seat for over a year now and can also agree its much better. I wouldn't say the foam is extremely soft (I definitely feel it after 6hrs) but the recontouring provided by the new foam is a huge improvement! Especially for taller guys. |

Bike looks good. Question, what wind screen is that on your bike? |

It's the factory Yamaha taller windscreen that I cut down, reshaped and painted satin black from the back side.
