I know you just did your suspension over yourself...but, having it tailored to your weight/riding style/skill level is one of the best ways to go faster.

practice.

And have your forks done.  No offense but when you say your adjusting oil levels half a litre at a time (16oz).  It kind of tells me you don't know what your dooin.     I adjust mine 1 oz at a time. And get it set within that oz.   And I have no clue what I'm doing. Hence why I have the guys that set suspension for winning racers do mine. 

Have you set race sag at least?

I would go with the flat top piston and head mod, it works incredibly well on a 250. As Motorrad said, have the suspension done, I adjust mine by millimeters of oil height, usually the range is something like 110-130 mm and to accomplish this would be probably an ounce or two. the newer forks are tyically done by measurement, most of the older forks have both a volume and a measurement, I always did the measurement.

Of all the things you can do to make your bike faster, suspension is the best. you can have all the HP in the world but if you can't ride it, it's wasted power

like I said in the beginning...have your suspension tailored professionally to fit your riding, if you don't have the right spring rates in the forks and shock for your weight and riding level...then you're just pissin directly into the wind.....I don't know who you guys have over on that side of the pond that do suspension...we have several over here...I've been using Factory Connection since the mid 90's because they're awesome at what they do.

[staffylad]

no ther was only half of half a litre becos I ran out that's why I had to go buy another half litre onway to the track then add another half in each makin it 2 half litres in each fork wat it says in the bible so that's wat went in,i just need to set the compression from the bottom to the top was tryin to burp them a little inbetween riding
