Donington is a great track (apart from the nose adverse locals who moved/built there because house/land prices were cheap due to close location to the track)… Red Gate is awesome, you just keep getting braver and braver, quicker and quicker throwing it in, just be careful the next corner tightens up and is the limit for red gate. 👍

Choosy, you should really take the time and tune the 5 zones. Specifically zone 5 which is at redline, when at WOT the default 66ms delay time is far too slow for most any bike. It’s extremely conservative. Zone 1-5 on my bike are as follows. 66, 64, 62, 60, 54. Play with it if you’re bored, it makes it an even better mod. The way it’s adjusted is the biggest downside to this excellent kit. Other QSs you can usually use an app.
