Last year at Loudon I found that I could only use 2nd and 3rd gears on my 954RR. On the back straight I would shift into 3rd and hit the soft limiter at about 133mph a split second before I would hit my braking marker and then down shift back to 2nd just before turning into turn 1. I found the straight to be too short to hit 4th gear.
This year I will be doing trackdays at Loudon on my 1000RR and would like to keep from hitting the limiter. I have been thinking about swaping my 16 tooth front sprocket for a 15 and upping my rear 41 tooth to a 42. This should lower my gearing enough to allow me to use 2nd, 3rd, and 4th at the track.
Any thoughts as to why I should or shouldn't do this?
What experiences or advice do you guys have for "gearing" down for Loudon?
