This past weekend/race was the first time with the new 46 tooth rear sprocket....... (14T front already) Wow.......At the start line its second gear for sure !!! for starts
I have had to change my riding style quite abit, as too much throttle in third wheelies quite easily.... second is crazy fun..... on the back stretch the bike gathers so much speed its really hard to gauge where to brake and shift goin into turn one........I'm gettin into 5th gear now at about 60 (100 Kmh's) and shutting off about 70 (120 Kmh's) bike is still pulling easily in 5th...... I left my rain tires on as the weather looked sketchy, needless to say my new found power pretty much destroyed my back tire $$$$$$
I feel quite comfy with the bike now so its time to really pay attention to my skills....(or lack there of) I'm far from placing top 5 but I am learning just to relax and have fun....... ! As you all know we seem to do better when loose and smiling
