   Technical base layers and keeping knees slightly off the frame helped. Stop-and-go is still the wrong environment for the bike.

   Ride your own pace.

   I left cooling-system modifications alone and focused on route timing. Early mornings beat every accessory I tried.

   Ride your own pace.

   Make sure the stock heat shields are all present after any exhaust work. Missing hardware made my used bike noticeably worse.

   Maintenance before modifications.
