:( Good to hear you're making the trip, Cadwell is , along with Oulton, a top track to watch at.
I won't be there cos of my off at Snetterton.
Bikes OK, but I've angered my back injury, broke it a couple of years ago, so I'm out for a while.
I must admit I was struggling with the gear change. I was going at a good pace even though it was pissing down, the torque made it a doddle to ride in the rain, but I just can't get to grips with the down changing and leaving it in a gear higher, it just doesn't feel right!!
When I'm back, and if the bike hasn't sold, I'll try again. Any tips on successful down-shifts?

3rd to 4th 7000 blip throtel pull clutch in hit 3rd gear
3rd to 2nd revs 5000 pull clutch in hit 2nd apex drive like f**k 3rd and away you go.
Go for slower in then use the V2 punch on exit that where
you get more grip than a 4.
Will be going rest of seson doing some setup for him so should see you some time.

Keep :lol: John

I'm at Aintree on the 12 June so I'll give it a go. I'll post a review on my website at http://www.firebikes.biz.
