You think you need bigger injectors? I put 5.6gph in so I could max out around 150 and still be at about 85% on injectors. Sounds like the Twinsacan2 and the SERT give out plenty of info. Way more than what I'm working with.
So in the straights how did ya keep up with the crotch rockets? Their speeds in and out of the corners is any reason why you wouldn't keep up. I spanked a 600 Kaw a few weeks ago. don't think the kid thought the old geezer bike had it in it. when I shut it off at 120 the kid was just redlining his bike to trying and keep up.
How long was the straight away between turns 12 and turn 1? that's were you hit the nearly 130 right?
And I think I got 2 of those tickets this summer along with a no parking zone. 2 of which weer by the same PO

From the point on turn 12 where I gas it to my braking mark on the start-finish line is about 550m or 1800 ft - have a look at the map:

As you can see the start finish line is a long way from turn 1, once I get bigger cahoneys I will brake later.
I have the 5.6 injectors now. You can tell the ECM that it has the smaller injectors and it will open the big ones for longer. This screws your whole map and you have to start again tho. I think I am real close to the right tune now.

You must tape or remove your mirrors. Next time out I will just remove them.
Novice riders like me need to focus on the track ahead, not who is behind them. By the time you take your eyes off the track and check your mirrors and look back you can miss a braking point or turn in point and get yourself into trouble.
It is the responsibility of the rider overtaking to remain 7 feet from the other bike and pass safely.
Its a good system - you know that they guy you are trying to pass has no idea where you are and it is up to you to watch the line he is riding and make the pass. If you cant do it then you dont, he aint gonna let you around.
Another tip - Its really important to not watch the bike you are following, its a great way to crash. If you watch the bike you are following you are going to enter the corner at his turn in speed and not yours. Watch the track and look thru his bike, dont focus on it.

I know about the tru-track and other products. But have you considered a steering stabilizer? For the high speed wobble.
Were you shifting your weight more off the seat?
