Good info Simmo. I put many hours on the 250F using powerpegz which helped alot. I then switched them onto the gasser but a stack on a rather rocky hill saw me riding home with one footpeg one day (thats good work for your balance), and never repaired or replaced. Now I think I prefer the solid peg as the shifter and brake are always in the same place in relation to the peg. This took some work with the pivotting pegs.
Slow down Fred! Best advice I have. Get back to basics. Ride the nasty lines at a slower pace and work on balance, throttle, clutch, and just letting the bars rest in your arms. When you fatigue keep moving on the cleaner lines until you recover and then swap back over. As the skills hone the pace will naturally follow. That and the good old seat time!
After a month off while I went through all the rebuild and holidays and other stuff I went for a faster paced ride with 2 other blokes and felt like a real gumby in the morning washing the front end everywhere and struggling to keep the bike on 2 wheels. I took it easy and by lunch was back in the flow, and come the afternoon I was carvin it up while they were puffin out. I think I found every muscle in my body as the next day I was sore! Arms, shoulders, back, legs, ribs. The lot!
