    Check your tyre pressure.

    Or it was just plain hot. 47 degrees apparently that day!

    that is a conti isnt it?

    Conti have a wierd tire pressure set up.

    What pressures are you running


    My Conti Race Attack Rear i run 24PSI and 28 front.

    If Pressures are fine then its probably a suspension issue best bet is contact someone liek Robert Taylor he would be able to tell you what is going on.

    But maybe more preload on the suspension?

    where opinion holds more weight than fact.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    Had 22 psi in it on instruction from Andrew L

    As for Robert T mate its a Bucket ( the cost of a shock would be 8 X the price of the whole bike)

    looks like the tire presure is to low to me
    we where running 26 psi on the tt900's

    then a tire presure gauge whent faulty and was reading double
    the tires chewed up like that but all over
    I'm guessing there was some riding around after but not at race speeds ????

    try going up in pressure and see what happens
    22 psi seems a bit low for a road tire
    but better for 125 gp slicks
