    Sepang Trackday - On-board- August 2012 - YouTube

    Few points:

    - Yes gear indicator is a bit delayed and flaps around (not sure why)
    - Speedo is in kmph
    - Yes I don't hit 6th on straights (need to adjust my gear link, as it won't go in on full throttle)

    Enjoy!

    Rev limiter is there for a reason! It's a superbike afterall, I didn't buy it to pootle around town on. ;)

    It does get fresh oil every trackday.

    @Remal - Yes I was there at the same time as Shane. Sepang is an awesome circuit indeed, yet to get bored of it.

    great video Rich , good to see those knee sliders worked out better than those last ones that you killed in a weekend :-}}

    i send you video onto Rob as you chased him for most of it , then snuck past :-}} your bloody good on the brakes at last corner and turn 1 , looks like your gearing is out a little out of T9 and T2 it drops right down in the revs , what gearing are you running ? do you use first for T9 then short shit 2nd & 3rd before T10 ? i used 2nd until last weekend and swapped to 1st it is a lot better just got to be quick so it doesnt bite you :-}}}

    Yeh those sliders are rock hard! Just what I needed, they've hardly worn at all! Thanks again for getting those for me mate :)

    Watching the vids back it's easily to see where I need to keep the revs up, and you're right, T2 and T9 is where I'm losing out (I'm in 2nd gear). Gearing is -1 F +2 rear. So maybe as you suggest, give 1st gear a go.

    I also need to get into 6th gear on the straights too. I'll sort that for the next TD.

    As for braking on the ends of straights, I was thinking I need to improve it! Front end confidence I guess. :D
