OK guys... I've got a few noob questions. I'm looking into getting a used SV650 track bike and running at Jennings GP track here in Florida. I was wondering what all tools, equipment, and stuff I would need to be ready to run. Thanks for any replies...

Stands, hand tools, and a full suit to start. Be ready to replace parts because tracks are hard on anything. Your tires and brakes will take the most of it, but you'll also need to change the oil more frequently.

Thanks... I was looking at the one piece suits and was probably going with one of Alpinestar's.

Look for used, undowned ones on a bunch of different forums (Suzuki, Yami, Kawi forums). I paid $200 for my JR suit to my door. Barely used. You could also put up a wanted ad. Make sure you know your size if you buy from someone.

Just got back from Jennings myself...had a blast. After 5 track days I'm looking at buying a dedicated track bike myself, I was looking at a SV650 also or another F4i

sixhundredrr said it...tools, leathers, and stands make things easier. You can find some good deals on the jenningsgp website.
