Man breaking in a new clutch is a pain in the ***. Been driving like a grandpa for 2 weeks now. 750 miles of which about half is highway.
Started taking it to 4k here and there. Highway I've taken it to about 5k one e or twice but then I wait for the rpm two drop down to about 3k again before shifting. Can definitely feel a change int the way she revs up with the new flywheel.

On nearly 3000km now and I've started revving her up to redline here and there but no hard launches. I feel nervous about the new stock Csc.
On the up side, she revs so nice with the solid flywheel. Had a little incidental run with a gsxr 600 k6/k7 model from 4th to almost 6th gear and he could only pull 2 bike lengths on me. In fact late 5th I felt like I was edging on him again but we tapped for traffic.
Couple of folks calling bs. But I ride as well, so I know he was really trying. Quite impressed with the hr.

Well he was about two lengths behind me when we started our run. He overtook me and ended up two lengths ahead by end of my 4th. Through 5th we stayed as is and as I hooked 6th we tapped off. Was doing around 260kmh on the speedo, so no way he was messing around. Was he the best rider in the world? Probably not, but he seemed to handle the bike fairly ok.
