Thanks a lot, that's exactly the info I was after. I'll see what I can do for getting involved a bit next season. I'm still far more concerned about my riding to start trying to spend wads of cash on my bike. I think the forks could do with the thick oil, harder springs combo and I definitely need to raise the rear pegs but other than that I'm just going to hammer the riding tech. I think I lose most time on entry speed and braking, i.e. start braking far to early steer in to gently at to slow a speed and then accelerate all the way through the bend carrying good speed through and getting good drive out. Annoying but the higher speed turn in is far more intimidating than once you are in the corner scraping everything on the ground.
