Hmmm...but why is it so much? £135 where is my wallet?
Lol, Brands is one of the most expensive tracks in the world to rent. Its probably my fav track, very hard work as there isn't any time to rest. Paddock Hill is an amazing corner ;D
As it happens, it's looking like I won't be doing this now. Iv heard a few too many story's about the Shift Assist killing gear boxes. Gonna book the bike in at HM Racing and get one fitted. Shift assist is good for road use however for heavy track use, it's poo poo

It says in the Manual that Shift assist is no good for up changes near max rev's, its on page 65Hopper link=topic=1419.msg13508#msg13508 date=1347568494 said:Iv heard a few too many story's about the Shift Assist killing gear boxes.

but I would have thought thats when everyone would want to use the thing Gassing it and changing up near max revs When you are riding at constant
speed with the engine revving
high in a low gear, upshifting
without disengaging the clutch
can cause a severe reaction to
the load change. BMW Motorrad recommends disengaging
the clutch for upshifts in these
circumstances. It is advisable to
avoid using the shift assistant at
engine speeds close to the limits
at which the governor cuts in to
limit engine rpm.

just had mine replaced on my trusty 2011 model after 12k miles , I would have to say it feels a bit agricultural in comparison to the other , will see if it loosens up.
Its not uncommon for a manufacturer to cut costs on bikes a few years in though
