I even made an extended adjuster for the rear shock to get even more height.

That's just greedy!

Another important thing to remember.
It is all well and good doing this but unless, and I stress unless you increase your entry corner speed the bike will feel awful and want to tuck.

Just altering the geometry will not make you go faster!

You must alter your riding style to match.

??? i'm not sure.... obviously you need to go faster to go faster...

Ie as per my earlier post there are two ends to the spectrum

Chronic under steer and running off the edge of the track and chronic over steer where the bike keeps tucking, mucho fun in the met.

Mr Lawson did an Awesome job of adjusting away from one end toward the other at Brands and nabbed 2nd place in Race 3

So why not just go faster an save the arse of fiddling about?

Of course you do my Southern Nemisis. However, if the if extremes of geometry have been reached then making he same effort when cornering will gain no benefit, in fact it would handle worse than ever. Increase your entry corner speed to match the new changes or there abouts and you should make the bike turn quicker and thus go through the corner quicker. Simples. :)

Com'on on Matt even you Southern Bumkins must understand that? ;)

Another thing which can help you go faster.

Do a track day (no brainer really) but... see how fast you can lap at using just the gears to govern your speed and without using any brakes (apart for emergencies).

Go on I dare you.

It does work. :)

That's part of the CSS course. Guys I know also do it around the ring, they are 8 min guys but you may need brakes to achieve that tho'. :eek:

I heard about a guy who ended up bailing out 'coz he thought he was too fast for the corner because he wasn't aloud to use the brakes... :)
