It's definitely strange getting on the sportbike for the first time in the season.

Yeah that is a big difference...

Also, since the last time I had this thing on a track it has:

new clutch plates and springs
added a damper
new shock
serviced forks and resprung and revalved
new chain and new gearing
new brake pads and fluid
other stuff that shouldn't affect performance/handling

completely different machine... need to get this thing dialed in.

I've documented all my settings and I'm going to make myself a little worksheet to keep track of all that stuff and changes i make, temp and conditions, etc...
