Had a fun day out there yesterday, once I got back on the R1. I couldn't get on with the ZX7 at all... Will bleed the brakes and do a little adjusting of bits and pieces, but think I will probably race the R1 on Nov 8th now...
Flipped my rear tyre for first time ever and I can't believe the money I have been wasting chucking them once they were stuffed on the left. Sure, it was little slidey out of turns 3 and 9, but nothing to worry me too much and now means I get an extra day out of a rear, wallet is happier for sure! Made a bit of a rookie error with the flipped rear though, after jumping back onto the R1 after the ZX7, I didn't check the rear pressure. I've never had so much bloody movement in the rear, on entry and exit, it was all over the shop, entry more so though! I was thinking I would have to add more compression damping to the front to try and settle the rear on entry. Came back on and had 42.5 PSI. Woops!
Was getting better drive onto the straights, so much so I was hitting the limiter before I normally back off for 1. First time it happened, I thought my motor was going to pop, babied it for half a lap, motor felt fine so got back on it, next lap, same again, realised what was happening. Will change rear sprocket for next day. Had a ball in 4th and 5th sessions, got back to consistent low 43s again, happy with that. Anyway, sorry for the long essay, godamn I love the track!
