Good article. I've got to do #3 more often. (trust your tires) And since I have a race patter shift on my race bike, I'm always being told #4, when I shift the wrong way due to the race pattern shifting.
And Shaman, like larry said...JUST DO IT!
At this rate and considering how little track time you're getting, you'll never catch me on my little EX500 even if you do use the ZX7.

the line has been drawn in the sand.
