Some suggestions:
1) Get used to GP shift. It's easier than you might think.
2) Adjust your controls down so your wrists are not in such a bind. You want the clutch and brake lever to barely miss the fairings on a full lock turn.
3) You don't have to take the rear caliper off the bracket to remove the tire. The groove in the swingarm is just a PITA!
4) Use a piece of bailing wire and loop it around your frame sliders to hold your front calipers from hanging on the brake lines.
5) Don't throw that old pump away. There are still useful parts like the grommet for the pump, the pressure regulator, the fuel sensor gauge, and even the pump itself. What's probably not salvageable is the assembly housing with the final filter installed.
6) Use one of your old tires to lay your wheels/rims on top of while you work. If you're changing tires then you'll need to remove the rotors anyway.
7) Consider changing out your brake caliper bolts. They're only supposed to be used once, even though we all use them many times. But who knows how stretched out they are? Get some new ones.
8) Wrap a zip-tie around your fuel pump housing strapping the pressure regulator down tight. Don't trust that little white clip.
9) MAKE SURE you do not swap spacers from (L) to (R). I use some grease to hold the spacers in the rim/seal but it's really a preference thing.
The secondary injectors kick in at 5,500 rpm AND 50° throttle position. 10k rpm is just where the 600RR has the meat of the torque curve. She really starts pulling hard starting at 8k rpm.
