The American is still eager for a good result in the manufacturer's home race at Motegi this weekend, but wants to put his injury-filled season behind him and concentrate on preparing for next year.
"It's a very important race here, obviously with a Japanese manufacturer it's the home Grand Prix," he said. "So we're just looking to turn around and get the results back.
"This season has just been a huge list of injuries for me, from a broken hip to a broken back and a blown out knee and ankle. We're just looking to finish strongly and put this season behind us.
"We're looking towards '09 now, that's the ultimate goal. We're making a lot of changes to the bike at the factory and we're doing some wind tunnel work. We are looking to the 09 bike, but we still want to push on and finish the year well."
