    just thought i'd let you know settings were ace, bike felt stable and was on rails around the track!

    only issue i had was under heavy breaking the rear was leaving the ground and "snaking" around a bit, but i think it was a combination of a bit of air in the front brakes, resulting in me braking later / harder. and some very heavy late braking.

    i've fitted some brembo calipers and re-bled and will see how it is on track again, might be that i need to increase the height at the front or lower the rear slightly to stop the snaking but will see.

    cheers again
