So you made the bike 10% heavier and added 1% MOAR POWAH?
all this stuff is really light, like MAYBE 10 lbs TOTAL, high end estimate. I have many more lbs to loose before i worry about 10 lbs. I was more concerned with air resistance honestly.

Wideband hooked up and running, its cleaning up the midrange nicely, but nothing up top via extra power.
Time for sprockets.

cross posting for record keeping
I think I'm going 14/35 for now. they don't have the cheap rear in a 36, and with the extra power I might actually get to use a couple of those MPH.
NVM, spend 6 more for the lighter sprocket and free shipping and get 36T. If its too much reduced i can always put the 15T front back on,

I will refrain from comparing this size proportion between man and rider to a bear on a unicycle.

I'd never try to set lap times on a bike, I know I'll hurt myself. I have a grand total of 1000 miles on that 250 Ninja as the only time I've ever had on a bike, and most of that was in a straight line.
100+ lb reduction plus a smaller aero footprint and lower center of mass has to be worth something on those things, but not with a n00b like me on it.
