2nd time on a track in 20 years. RC390 with 800 miles Akrapovic Exhaust, Diablo Rosso II tires 29 psi front and rear when hot, upgraded front disc, KTM RC Cup forks, and super super crummy squishy unadjustable stock rear shock. Shot with Sony Action Cam HDR-AZ1. Top Speed estimated between 111 and 115. I only glanced at the speedo on the long straight.

Nice! Looks like you had fun...

I noticed you are pulling the clutch in when braking for corners and release it close to your tip-in or even beyond that. You should try to use the engine braking to your advantage when approaching a corner. You can see the bike getting unsettled every time you leave the clutch out, especially while already leaned over. Get your braking and downshifting done before turning in and the bike becomes more stable at corner entry...
