Failed mod 1, not fast enough

[...]

I need help brothers!

Turns out my bike is a bit of a whale for a 125 and I couldn't make it up past 49km/h no matter what I tried.

I'm seriously considering hiring a bike for the day (and having to stump up a large deposit) or selling the aforementioned whale and buying a CG125 to use for mod 1 + 2.

Are there any other options I can try to get my current bike up to speed in time?

Were you a little cautious while taking the corner?

Speedometers all read wrong, they all are over calibrated, when they say 35 you are probably doing 31/32 mph.

It isn't easy on a 125, it took me a while to get the knack too.
What gear did you go through at as I did it in 2nd and just gave it all I could coming out of the bend.

Try 3rd gear, Hammer the bike in second round the bend and hit 3rd gear if second isnt fast enough.

good luck for next time

whack your tyre pressures up as well, don't brim the tank, make sure the brakes aren't dragging at all, maybe clean and gap the spark plug (makes a surprising difference) and try 3rd maybe through the bend? clutchless shift seems a good idea too, worth a try. I managed 53 in 2nd gear for the swerve and 52 changing to 3rd for the E-stop. i found that the best response was to take a racing line through the bend and try to get on the throttle as soon as possible.. no not then, sooner. good luck.

Stay out wide through the bend, will give you a few feet more to get that throttle pinned back on the straight
