Nice run, while on that site I decided to see what the "pro" riders ran on my bike.

10.6 @ 130

which is sad if you ask me.

With sprocket, air filter and strapped I ran a 10.06 @ 135.

On the plus side, i got some decent air.

PSM i put an arrow at the spot so you know where i'm talking about. R1 went far to the right early, i went for it anyway and got pinched at that tiny kink along the edge of the track.

EDIT: This is not my vid, but at 1:22 the rider goes for a pass at the same spot and gets close to the edge. I got pinched a bit and clipped it

Oh no! That sucks, man. I can't tell you how many times I've run up or clipped the curbs, but I've never had any kind of issue with it causing damage. There's all kinds of room in that passing zone coming out of T10 to the left but that kink makes it trickier to the right if the person you're passing doesn't go a little wide to the left with their line. I guess you know that by now, though.

And if you go wide out of 10 for a pass on the left, you get screwed going into T11 because it's kind of an abrupt left and completely throws you off for the chicane.

How was it other than that?

so you can deff drop that time

Was that stock height, length, and gearing without a strap? I'm pretty sure I can hit a 1.7 as it sits with some more RPM on the launch, but 1.6 on a stock height, length, and geared 600 without a strap would surprise me. I guess we'll see, though, because I planned on continuing to up the RPM when I get back to LVD on the 7th. As long as it keeps going faster, I'm gonna keep going higher.

Yeah I try to pass on the right to setup for the next section, I'll only go left if I'm passing a slow bike. This guy wasn't a good rider so he'd putt through the corners and open up that 1000 in the passing zone, so I had to get a good drive out of the corner and try to stay on the line.

One of those things I guess.
