Huffy, this being the case. May I make a suggestion you do your first run (or two) in "B" mode, as I am sure your gearing will keep it exciting enough as you take everything in.
Then you can spend more time finding full throttle, which is a friggin' long way around (just noticed you already have a quick action throttle too...) when your trying to get to it quickly whist still keeping the nose height in check.
Others may poo-poo this idea, it's just a suggestion.

to be exact it was a 10.181
I was there and saw it! Stock for Wayne means OEM Stock [except for mufflers], not "Pan stock" [titanium exhaust, carbon fibre wheels, chopped undertail, lowering links, BTL mod, etc]
Mine is mufflers only (no straps etc) & a flash, which in all fairness is an Australia Post flash, NOT a proper dyno setup flash.
After checking on a local dyno the bike is lean from top to bottom (not mechanically damagingly lean) & consequently is now consistently 2mph slower than stock.
BTW: This is in no way bagging the person who flashed it, it is the perils of flashing an ECU without having the bike on a dyno to get the results.

Hi all, thanks to all who have given their advice. I'll be lowering the bike and strapping it. I'll try the current gearing first before changing it again. I look forward to seeing you guys at the track. Thanks again.

I sense a beautiful and expensive love affair about to begin.

What time are you guys meeting up on sunday ? I start work at midday so if it's an early morning start I should be able to make it and say g'day and introduce myself.

Hope to get there tonight Wayne. I've got a big day on today so I may have to come straight from work. I'll try my best to get there though.
Cheers Ahmed.

Still got your adrenaline fix though I imagine.

Hi Wayne,
Sorry I didn't get out last night, had a very late finish at work. I was really looking forward to going and meeting you and other members. Please let me know when you are out there again and I'll try and get out there. My work sucks when it comes to predicting when I'll be finished.
