I am going to have to thrash the life out of this to keep up with the Aprilia V4s

Being a hire bike, the lack of mechanical sympathy i am showing it is not my problem

So far I have rotated the bars forward so i am sitting more over the front ina motocross stance, i also had to move a hose clip that kept catching my boots when i changed gear. It has semi active suspension, so i have set both ends to hardest and added max preload to the rear for best ground clearance and sharper steering, and it flicks side to side well and has much less weight transfer than my KTM.

Tonight i also removed the screen, it is too effective and as a result i am not getting airflow through my jacket helmet, so lets see if the naked option is more effective.
