Hi guys, long time lurker, first time poster!
Sorry if this is the wrong part of the forum...
I'm 26 years old, currently racing a CBR600RR7, and doing pretty badly at the tiniest club meets here in the UK.
I started out on a Honda RS125 and managed to just get into BSB, with a best finish of 17th, I was very happy with that.
I started to get bigger and the 125 was no longer big enough for me, so I got a well specced 2000 R1, went back to club meetings and finishing mid field progressing all the time, then, and this is where the problems started, I got a GSXR1000 K7.
I assumed I would be instantly a couple of seconds a lap quicker, but it was the complete opposite, I had no confidence on that bike whatsoever, I started to get terrified of going out on it, and after two and half years with it, I gave up, it just was not fun anymore.
So, I got the 600, it feels a lot better, stiff and rigid like the 125 felt, I am starting to feel happier, but the times are not there, it is like I have forgotten how to ride, I know I can as I have rode a quick pace on the 125 and R1.
Where should I start? Perhaps this is to vague a question for the forum?
Any ideas/thoughts appreciated.

Thanks for the reply, I have read all the books, great information, and I do try to apply a lot of it.
I wouldn't mind being last if I did my quickest ever lap...
When I was on the 125, it seemed so effortless, I didn't need to know the hows or whys, it just happened...
Maybe if my confidence returns it will all just 'click' again?
