I bumped up to 320 mains at last track day. 64 degrees with 35% RH and plugs came out with a brown tint. Lost a piston last year with humidity change so was not chancing it. I also did not change front sprocket to 17 tooth at that event. Cracked piston with no damage. Honed and back together and all great. That is max front sprocket our bikes will handle with clearance. With super loose chain had a little wear on the case from flex.

I will find the dyno chart I had and also the number from suspension guy that does all our track service.

Never call overseas but if you would like to chat if you want. You and your people have more talent than I. Rick Lance did my engine and I would always call him to do a debrief after he watched the most recent video I would post. He said he could not ride a race track but his pointers and my instructors really helped with reliability and self preservation at my retirement age. Mine catches attention but yours has the proper look and parts to catch even the young guys attention.

I definitely don’t want to fall off it - I think the track feels safer than the road - fingers crossed [emoji4] - Your videos look very impressive actually - you look really fast

The pictures don’t do the paint justice - it is amazingly good quality - the lacquer is like glass

You can keep trying but you will never get a crappy picture of that bike day or night.

Absolutely beautiful!
