[@justgotafilthyname]

[@Dlec1993]

Very nice! I went to Portimao recently, but i think you are a little faster than me!

[@VR46YAMAHA]

Was my first time there, I'd look at going again once I've made some more improvements to the bike.

[@JIMIJIM]

Hi, good vid ! what is your best lap time ?

[@VR46YAMAHA]

Thanks, your vids helped me a lot before I went out there being my first time haha! Best times I got down to were 56's, but I was quickest on track then so it was hard to find out where I could of gone quicker. That and I was struggling for rear grip, ideally wanna change the Sachs rear shock for a Nitron Race one! Your best times nearer the 50's ain't it?

[@Thomaslavallee]

VR46YAMAHA happy to help ! my time same as yours, 1'56

[@VR46YAMAHA]

Haha, ah I thought you was faster for some reason haha! You plan to go again to portimao some time again?

[@Thomaslavallee]

[@VR46YAMAHA]

Thomas Lavallee ah very nice! I'll hopefully return another year too, whether I use the RSV4 or not, we will see!

[@Tolgathegooner]

Nice vid mate. I'm taking a 2011 APRC there next week. Have a couple of questions if I may. Your TC looks like it's on 3, what if any was your wheelie control on? And what was your gearing?

[@VR46YAMAHA]

Yo, yeah TC was on 3, I came down to 2 when the tyre was brand new but then upped to 3 later in the day to try and make the tyres last a little longer. Wheelie control was level 1. Was mega hot when we was out there this time last year. 34' air temperature so the track tempreture would of been in the 50's I imagine! I'm running the race ECU as well, which lowers the WC/TC parameters, 4 on race ECU is like 1 on the stock ECU, if you don't already know that that is. Gearing, ran stock, sprocket setup front and rear and was hitting 182 down the main straight. I usually run 2 up on the rear but for portimao I ran the standard size, I think 42, not sure off of the top of my head without going in an looking haha. You'll love the track, absoulte gem it is, final corner is kinda like dropping down craner curves but at like 110mph blind entry haha.
