    Well you can add tuck in properly on the straight cause that top speed just doesn't add up! Hahaha

    It's actually only 1/2 joke tbh, cause I see loads of ppl who just won't tuck behind the screen... could never understand race bikes with dark screens!

    Dark screen + dark visor = zero vision.

    Ummmm, I try to tuck behind the screen! Unfortunately my fat tum-tum gets in the way. Not that I'm quite in his league (yet) but I remember Philby Lovett telling me he was much quicker on the bike when he lost some weight. I wonder how much of it was getting more fully behind the screen?

    I think a QS will show big improvements in top speed and also a sneaking suspicion I'm not using WOT. Top speed (260??) is only a bit higher than what I was getting on the old Suzuki.

    I just punched all these suggestions into the optimum lap velociputer and I should be doing 1.28's.

    There is 1:38's there quite soon. Your riding well man. Maybe an R6 throttle tube to get it to wide open easier.

    :
    The top speed thing could also be your gearing being a bit too long. Plenty of 600s hitting 260+ on the straight... mine got 261 on racechrono and it's almost stock so you should be seeing a fair bit more than that!

    The gearing feels great everywhere else. Don't use 4th anywhere other than down the straight and between 1 and 2. If doing the Nth circuit I briefly hit 4th down the back straight.

    Hidden Valley sitting on the Duck tail of my monster (and barely seeing due to eyes look through top of head = blurry) gave me 1/2-1 sec and 5 -10kmh
