I'm going to Hampton Downs for the first time on Saturday.
Has anyone whos already been there got alternative gearing that works well for a 600?
It looks like it might not be that fast so same gearing to Taupo...?
Thanks team!

Its a tough call. Very tight first gear corner around the back & massively quick at the front.
We left our Puke gearing on from the week before & it wasnt too far off the mark.
Stroud was getting mid 280Km out of the 1000 at the end of the front straight.

Taupo should be very close I ran the same gearing as manfeild were I dont use top gear but I was just kissing the rev limiter in top at hampton so may need a slightly smaller sprocket for the rear just incase

Don't the Superbikes hit mid-310's at Puke?
