Thanks for the lesson, as usual! Serious question: Why not knock out your downshifts earlier/quicker like T1 from 6th to 2nd? Just would like to hear your opinion. Thanks!
I usually do. However, with the track being green/damp, the rear wheel really struggles for grip while you're braking hard on the front end. Downshifting later means the motor is spinning at lower RPMs so the slipper has to do less work - and you generally have less wiggling of the rear, the bike is more stable.
Vasiliy Zhulin Didn’t read the description and noticed the shifting, but not the damp track watching on my phone for a couple laps. Life makes sense again. Thanks!
The new R1 is so smooth, very nice!
Great riding - nice lines
What dash panel is this? Very nice.
OEM R1 dash
What gearing do you run there? Going to run the north course on my r1 for the first time.
