Time for the DS1/DS2 combo after my Z04's gave up the ghost

The Hayes brakes are absolutely fine (for me) with OEM pads. Donny has 4 hard stops, no fade, no concerns.
I think the light weight meant it was disturbed by the defects in the tarmac more than the Gen 3. It got a little wobbly coming out of Starkeys and into Shwantz.
The TC was set to 0. Saw 30% intervention. It didn't like me wanting to develop the throttle thru Coppice so I had to change line compared to my RS2E mapped Gen3. The Gen4 definitely wants to be stopped, turned and fired with the std TC.
The hardest part for me was the hairpins. It felt so slow, with the cat fitted everything goes quiet at low rpm in a turn like the Melbourne loop. And it bogs a bit out of the corner as the TC intervention is too high (and I didn't want to use 1st).
To call one bike Gen3 and the next Gen4 doesn't convey the changes that are evident when you ride one in anger. Its revolution not evolution.
Getting back on my Gen3 this AM. Damn craners felt hard work...but its does feel trustworthy and stable.
The experience has left a mixed impression. The Gen4 is decent out of the box, being easy to flick, but its not imo track ready. If it had my map and 16t in the front it would be transformed. Plus maybe some suspension I can understand.
Yes. Lots to go through, three cameras!Sounds like you had a good two days. Did you get any footage??
