I know Rich well after racing against him for a couple of years in Sound of Thunder. Rich aslo knows Simons bike as he occasionally got close enough to see the back of it.
I am seeing somebody tomorrow that is breaking down his 955 Corse, some of the bits on it were mine at one point and other bits came from Dallas so the guy is likely to sort us some good prices.
Dallas has already lined up the Corse carbon airbox & air tubes, along with the alloy tank, Mag yokes and STM slipper clutch. So i'm off around there with my shopping list tomorrow.

Maybe that should have been lack of knowledge

So back to the main man on this aka Felix

Was wondering what yoke offset you had on your bike to match the longer arm, also interested in the rear and front ride height settings you raced with.

Kev, I'll have to dig out the settings log to tell you exactly, but IIRC I pretty much used the standard factory recommended settings. Going from memory for now, front sag was 22 mm, rear sag was 10 mm, yoke offset was between 26 and 28 mm depending on circuit (but mostly 28 mm). Steering damper was on a very low setting, maybe 4 clicks. Front and rear ride height I'll have to look up in my logs, which should be tomorrow.

Cheers Felix, I'm meeting up with Simon towards the end of the week so I will pass the info onto him then, it will give him other settings to try once testing gets under way in the new year, I can't see his current settings being much use if he changes the swingarm and yokes so it will be good to have a starting point.
