Hi I would start with one tooth higher on the gearbox than Snetterton, and work from there.

Soften your suspension cos it aint arf bumpy, and make sure your fairing mounts and

passenger handholds are secure,, also is your fuel tank big enough ?

Its a great meeting... you will love it.

Thanks for the info Dick I don't know the gearing for Snetterton but i think i will start with one tooth on the gearbox and one off the rear and take it from there, i hope the fuel tank is big enough, I've only had the bike a year and this will only be the third meeting we have dun on it and Alan Warden will be driving it for me. Thanks again

2 gallon tank may be a tad small.
