I put the BT003 Race on there and ran the setup that he gave me. I think the combo works very well, but not aweseome. You can feel when you start pushing it above 80mph the suspension doesn't contact the road as well. Honda did the same thing. This is just a function of stock components. They just aren't going to be all that great. Tije told me the problem with the BPF front end is that there is almost no low speed compression. So...when you dive into the corner you can be late as fuck on the brakes (the front doesn't dive), but when you drive out of the corner, the front rises too fast causing highsides. He said a bunch of guys on the track were experiencing this.

If it rises too fast, then there's not enough low-speed REBOUND damping. |

It has high and low speed compression damping (but only the typical high speed is adjustable). This is what he told me...who am I to argue since he is one of the best suspension gurus in socal. I explained to him that under 80 or so the suspension feels real good, but over that, the bike cannot compensate for bumps fast enough and it feels stiff / like its not feeling the road as good as it should. He told me that is as good as it gets because the front end is just too stiff. And fuck it is stiff. My camera eats batteries for some odd reason. I'll have to buy more batteries (again) and take a couple of snaps. Just for u Tripster.

That is the problem when ur exiting the corners. Diving into corners isn't all that bad.
