What you gonna do about the rear shock?
You are not leaving much room for teething problems only testing the day before first race!!
Are you going to get it on a dyno to tune it for the new filter and system?

Yeah, it was fun to hear it fire up outside the guys house before I left

Still, thats the gamble you take when you buy this stuff. As you said in another thread, its only a pile of nuts and bolts at the end of the day so everything is repairable in my book. As long as its straight then all should be fine.
As far as the shock, its a K4 GSXR1000 shock that came with the bike. Planning to leave it for now and see how we go at the first few meets but the longer term plan is to replace with something meant for the job, something like an Ohlins, HyperPro or Maxton.
I'm not expecting much in the way of problems really, mechanically I'm not doing anything radical and the engine was good already. Most of the prep work is really just about good quality servicing so if anything it'll be more reliable than when I got it.
I spoke to JHS about tuning but they advised not to bother on the FI bike. It'll be going on a dyno pretty soon just to give me an accurate graph to work from for gear changing etc but not planning any fuel changes.
Also, didnt bother with a steering damper yet. Blue have you ridden without on track? If so how does it seem?
