Adjusted the controls, mirrors, suspension- found the rear wheel at 42psi which accounted for a lot of the harshness lol. With 35psi on both tires the ride is much improved, the rear is still a bit hard but we're getting there.
The gearbox REALLY hates the shifting pattern I used on the R6 (I liked to frequently do a few short shifts on the way up, since the ratios were so close I'd rather be in 5th or 6th for moderate accelleration or poking along)- the s1k's gearbox wants each gear to run a bit before the next shift. Doing it that way the shift effort and travel is quite moderate- I still don't like the spring and play in there but the minimum effort and motion to make a shift is way more civilized than I was experiencing on day 1 and I think it will be fine with practice. Probably the gearbox is also still breaking in.
The quickshift works and if I don't short-shift then it does make faster shifting straightforward. I definitely have to get used to doing more with the mid gears. Unless I was pushing the R6 or going slow around a traffic circle, 2nd and 3rd were kind of useless, 4th only sometimes of much use. The s1k's gearing makes the lower gears a lot more useful. Having all that power available at low rpms is a big help too, much less feathering and careful throttle needed off a stop
Poking along behind traffic in 3rd is comfy on the s1k it was very much not on the r6 lol.
Nanny mode B and C helped a lot with the snatchiness, quite helpful pending an ECU flash - the engine is for sure lean. I am totally digging the single press start.
It was interesting watching the heat- the engine heats up faster than the R6's, but cools down a lot faster also- fans more effective as well.
