Yoshimura Suzuki Set For American WSBK

Yoshimura Suzuki is preparing for its second World Superbike
Championship race on May 30th at the Miller Motorsports Park fifth
round in America.
Following on from its inaugural WSB points-scoring ride with
Australian Josh Waters at the Australian series opener at Phillip
Island last month, Yoshimura is currently evaluating all data
gathered and further-developing the team's GSX-R1000 ahead of the
US race, in which 22-year-old Waters will compete in only his
second-ever World Championship event.
At Phillip Island, the team tested several new Yoshimura factory
parts, including an all-new R-11R racing exhaust, which will be
further developed by R&D testing in America and also at the
Suzuka 8-Hour in Japan at the end of July.
Said Yoshimura's Keiko Oshimi: "At Phillip Island Josh did a great
job in his first ride on the Yoshimura GSX-R1000, his first race on
Pirelli tyres; and his first race on the world stage. He finished
18th in race one because of a puncture, but was 13th in race two
and earned 3 points.
"Although we were happy with our result, we always want to do
better and we have found some areas to work and improve on before
we go to Miller Motorsports Park in May."
