3 x 50 minute sessions were on the offering for us at Snetterton for the official BSB Test. This is our last test before the team leaves for the prestigious Isle Of Man TT, and crucial for the next round which is at the Snetterton circuit in late June.
Session 1
We quickly got up to speed, pushing in to the 52’s and 2nd out of the Superstock runners. The time of a 1:52:8 came from an unstable bike, which was losing grip on the throttle as well and using the tyre, many different damping setting were tried on the suspension to try to control this, with a conclusion that we would need a heavier spring rate for the 2nd session.
Session 2
With extra support from the heavier spring the bike was positioned better on the exit of the turn, but still fell through the stroke under maximum torque, making the bike twitchy to ride and unstable on the exit of the turn.
Session 3
We went faster, but not enough, the bike was still difficult to ride with little control of the rear shock, despite trying different lengths as well as damping settings.
We ended the day 4th fastest, with an insight in to what we will need come round 5 of the Championship.
Thank you to our professional sponsors for their continued support.
