I will know I'm going in the right direction, he came in from the session at Snetterton with over 2 inches of travel not used. So I want to see my cable tie less than an inch from the bottom casting after a session and I'll be happy |
well I can't say Brands went to plan as the new bike just didn't want to run right and by the time I had cleaned the fuel pump and changed the fuel filter to get it running properly there were only a couple of sessions left in the day to get out on it.
I used the first of those sessions to Scrub new tyres on the race bike and then went up to pit lane for the final session to try out the new bike. Only to have the final session canceled due to an incident on track where a couple of bikes came together and then deposited Antifreeze on to the track.
Still even just riding it up to the pit lane and back and a couple of times around the lower paddock I gathered some info on things that need sorting
Firstly the seat is to low, so I will be adding an extra layer of foam.
The standard allen bolts for the footrest plates catch on my boots so they will be replaced with domed headed bolts.
The clutch needs looking at and possibly replacing as there is a lot of drag and a nice lurch forward every time I put it in gear.
So tomorrow I will start looking at addressing these issues
