I rode my 2013 250R in the sunshine mode, modded head, 50T sprocket (rear axle pulled forward in swingarm), in the sloppiest conditions over the weekend. Suspension was stock, both in valving and springs. The bike felt quite good and as others were saying, I never felt like I was riding fast but I was keeping my normal pace easily and passing on strange/rough lines. Got home after using a mates tyre pressure guage and was running 15/16psi where I'd typically run 12/13 at the most. Amazed me how well the bike was still hooking up at the pressures it was, in the crap conditions. I was a bit upset though, knowing how much more traction I must have been missing out on.
