Last weekend at the track I took my 250 out just for fun. Converted it to GP shift (to match Daytona)...everything going well until at the end of the day I was in 2nd gear, at redline, and downshifted instead of upshifting.
The video shows that the headshake lasted less than 2s. It felt much longer than that, with the rear fishtailing and front handlebars going left to right.
One other fun point which JUST occured to me as I am writing this: With woodcraft clipons installed the front brake lever tends to get engaged at full left turn. So it's lucky that the front didn't go full stop to stop, or I would have tucked the front on top of everything else and gone down.
As far as tires are concerned: I run BT-003s on the 250 but I'm in TX. We don't get that much wet weather. I still have a pair of BT-045s sitting in the garage, these are supposed to be better for the wet. Sadly the new BT-S20 rubber isn't available for the ninjette. Supposed to be better than 003s on track and in wet.
