Ardc 6th

[Mr.Ed]

Thanks everyone for a great day! It wasn't the day for PBs but a great day nonetheless... Practice days are great to remind me of all the things that I either need to learn or need to unlearn 'cause I do it wrong!!!

Especial thanks goes to the MASSIVE help I got from the gents next door with the suspension settings! Bike did feel better but I reckon I still need to do something else to it as it's squatting a bit too much now... Will check the videos soon but I had a little moment on T1 that will illustrate the point well if I managed to record it.

Found it. It does not look the best, you've been warned! Camera was sitting on really high mount so it vibrated like you wouldn't believe. Kinda surprised it didn't shut itself off actually...

Now back to point I was trying to make, I don't think having the rear step out like that out of 1 is normal... at least not on a 600. It hadn't done that to me before at least and it's not like I was taking it any faster than I usually do either.



Here's hoping some more compression will have it a bit more user friendly again!

I had a fairly good rear tyre in and I could feel it moving around thru there also. I think the whole track was cactus by the end of the day. Unfortunately it wasn't one of the better ARDC days.

Thats for sure! they should ban cars at these days then we would all be much happier ;-)

Well that makes me feel better about it... I was getting quite a bit of wheel spin through some corners like old T7 (pre oil) and especially T8. But all very controllable and I knew when it happened I was going a bit stupid on the throttle. But T1 was a bit of a surprise... did not like it.
