Bad angle. I can't stop watching your wheel change direction of spin.

There is no wheel...

You pass me in turn 6 right after this. I can't get any drive out of 6 without dropping down to 1st gear. I was in 2nd here and it's clear that's not working for me.

whaaaa? We gotta work on your race line. Unless u've got some funky gearing

I did that a couple times trying to ease into the apex and coming out of it smoothly to work the race line cause that turn is the only one that keeps fucking with me at this time and trying to pick some speed up into 7 and poor bike was just bogged lol... tried coming into 2nd gear through there next time by and worked a bit better. Which bike were you riding?

We can fix this - it's about carrying a little more speed to the apex so that you stay in the powerband in gear 2 -

[Mother Goose]

Front view. I follow a couple people in this one... Marc, his friend, and Ninja2.

I thought about it a bit more and I was probably in 3rd actually and should have dropped to 2nd. I'm still getting used to the -1 up front and I'm getting a bit faster so my RPMs are a bit different than I'm used to. Dropped 3 seconds from my best time on Monday though.

With my gearing on the R1 (-1/+2), I'm coming into turn 4 in 3rd, then downshift one into 2nd for turn 5 and carry that all the way down the hill, through turn 6 and shift up into 3rd just before turning in for turn 7. That newest video I just posted shows my speed and gear, the speedo is the corrected speed.

Thats literbike gearing though.... I think he is on a 600 so a bit different.

AWESOME!

True, but the speeds would be about the same, and I'd think the gears you'll be in will be about the same too? Maybe I'm wrong? Are you in 2nd gear going 80ish through turn 4 on the R6?

Drop from 6th to 4th for T4,
Drop from 4th to 3rd for T5,
Drop from 3rd to 2nd for T6,
Up from 2nd to 4th for T7.

But that is just me

[tecknojoe]

04 R6:
3rd through 4 and 5
2nd through 6
3rd through 7

I'm close to wicky's 'cept I don't wanna back it into 5

It's all gonna depend on your gearing for your bike

[Mother Goose]

That's a whole lotta shifting! What gearing are you running?

[buddahson]

I'm basically a gear higher everywhere. I can stand to come down a gear but I don't think I can hold 2nd all the way to 6. I'll try it Monday but I think I'll be forced to shift to 3rd between turn 5 and 6 and then back to 2nd at the entrance to 6.

I'm actually not too far off your corner entry speeds in most places. A few mph here and there. I think much of it is just my lack of consistency and being in the wrong gear in a few places. I also need to man up and brake later and harder. I tend to coast into most turns too much.
