ok so if its tire pressure causing this then wat pressure should should i be using? could bad suspension set up be anything to do with it also?

If you're going out to Ruapuna tomorrow approach Red (Pete) Fenton, RRR Superbike team. Not only does he run a team in the nationals, but he is the local Ohlins/Racetech etc rep in town. I've just had my bike in this week at his shop. Really helpful bloke who, if he has the time, will be more than happy to talk tech with you.

there was a guy out there who was also on an 02 r1 and let me copy his set up which i thought was fkn good of him. the rear shock was the biggie, massive improvement..... i think he had had some mods to his forks though cuz his setting were way soft for my bike but 1 of the guys from yamaha was quick to help me out and firm it up so everything work together. would of been a compleate mind fk for me so its really good how people out there are willing to help
