McAdoo are supplying Conor with five Kawasaki machines; two Superbikes, two Supersport 600s and a Superstock 1000cc bike for the campaign.
During a brief stint with the team this season he managed two thirds and a fourth at the Southern 100 and was due to ride at the Ulster before torrential rain put paid to the event.
