Before completing Honda motorbike testing in Indianapolis Motor track, the Honda team already passed the first test in Chuckwalla Valley Raceway and the second one in Barber Motorsports Park.
In the final test which is extent until two days, Roger felt that this track is a little bit “green” because this Indianapolis track is never been used again for motorcycle race since 2009 USGP. To overcome this issue, some members of the Honda team riding on the bike for 25 laps to place rubber for the racing line in order to make the grip track better. As a result this final test was well completed and Roger find out that this track is just like the first track, Chuckwalla but it is very different with the second one, Barber Motorsports Park.

They also change the clutch setup and the shock for additional grip in order to make Roger feel comfortable riding on his bike so he can improve the lap times. Furthermore, the communication between Roger and the team is really well so the team can easily identify the strength and the weaknesses. To conclude, Honda Moriwaki MD600 is ready for their team debut at the Indianapolis race.
