I'm making the switch from the GSXR to the R6 this year and I wondering what gearing along with lap times all you 03-04 R6 riders use at various tracks in the midwest.  I know it's probably some what of a secret I could sure use the help!!  I'm especially interested in Hallett and Mid-America.  

Thanks,
Kurt.

don't forget tire brand, different tires = different sizes = different gearing at a lot of places

Good call on the tire brands, I hadn't thought about that.  I'll be running Michelins, but I haven't tried the new profile yet.  

Thanks for the reply's, I'll have to PM Superdave.

Take care,
Kurt.

QuoteJust ask Superdave  ;D

If you've came to one of my schools, I'll usually give that advice... :)

And Mr Janisch has it right...he's been to my schools...  Additionally, the tires within a brand can be different.  The new Michelin's are different than the previous ones.

 Okay okay.  Now we got Stumpy yelling at us, jeez.  Sorry man, I didn't mean to be mean.
 
For Topeka, I'd say start off with 17/45 and go from there.  It's what I run at BHF.  Maybe.
