Bringing the front tire up.

[TOMCAT]

Don't go out of my way to do wheelstands anymore just ride it hard and if it carries the front so be it. There's a thing in Q.L.D. called anti hooning law and everyone that knows me would know I wouldn't break any law. Get caught 3 times doing a wheelstand, burnout or powerslide and they confiscate your bike and sell it at government auction.

True ... hasn't happened to any of the blokes i know .. it's only a matter of time though. Donny be the prime candidate .. burnouts and wheelstands every time we go for a ride somewhere .

yeah I rarely do it intenionally either but I did find out by accident, one day takeing off from a set of lights a young *****in a V8 decided to try and blow me away and I was at about 3 grand so I gave a fist full left him like he was standing still with the front hovering about a foot and a half of the ground it came back down as i select 2nd and just started to lift but only just hovered about 1 inch or so for a little while and I needed to back of as I was well above speed limit and the *****was dusted but i have found that if you are keeping your weight forward and take of hard and smooth (Dump the clutch and you will get wheel spin or loop it for sure) you will lift a little maybe 6 inches mind with the Darkside the chance of wheelspin are a lot less till they get low on thread, the toyo as it was getting to the end of its life Spun up easyliy as richard will tell you I think he said it was about a 10 ft black line and a few car alarms as I left him in Canberras CBD one day, he he well he did want to hear the StainTunes in anger oh and yeah it lift the front once it got traction.

Well I'm safe there is no way in the world that front tyre is going to leave planet earth . Didn't matter how far I got the weight back .tried for at least a dozen times for my effort I noticed the front end was a bit lighter .it would seem that the bike is to heavy and hasn't got enough power,I'll fix that later

 

[HansO]

Peter is your bike stock, completely stock no mods at all

 

[peter k]

She's completely stock no mods at all

thats why!! one of the reasons they only give part of you power in the first three gears.
First thing you need to do is remove the secondaries and fit some K&N's and fit a Cat delete and fix the ignition curve with a tune* (given to me by Ian "IDK") I can send up to you or my lil helper Mitch get him to put that in and wake up the big girl you will notice an major improvement and be gentle with the throttle till you get used to it.... trust me it will lift after wards Oh and I acept No responibily for the extra wide grin or if You have not listened and open her up to quick and lose it

*this tune is for stock pipes cat delete and triple K&N's with secondaries removed

I've ridden her for 55'ooo km,s like this It's been a incredibly reliable machine for the past 3 years how ever it is strange how my thoughts have changed .initially during my first ride I thought how the hell did the government let these bikes into the country .i never actually test rode a rocket before I bought it . The power was like nothing I had ridden before but as the years have gone by I'm starting to feel like i need more power .

I have given you the first steps to take I am sure the guys up there are happy to help you as I am to as much as I can from a distance Mitch knows TuneECU so he can help with that side of it if you ask nicely

 

[Evil Mitch]

Yep more than happy to help Pete he is a good bloke . You got my number Pete if u need help with anything just give me a shout brother

 

[Tripps]

that equalls faster acelaration hence the front wanting to lift easier by it self and the Tune ECU tunes also fix the ign timimg.
Also the faster throttle resonse also comes from the fact that you are able to make the power earlier not extra just earlier, the secondaries was to stop novices getting on a rocket and killing themselves

I wondered about the timing in my new tune, with the stock I always ran 87 octane, since loading the new tune I run 89 minimum just to be safe.
