That's funny. Not on purpose! When I first got it I had trouble getting used to the grippy clutch. Would either stall or pop mini wheelies leaving a stop. Use to it now. The front tire does get pretty light feeling when im getting on it. If I didn't have a bum stop seat id have ended up ground this last time out!
Let me clarify. I shifted from 1st to 2nd at 6k. I didn't pull the clutch rev to 6 and pop it.just a quick 1st to 2nd.
Not looking to one up or give false testimony. Im sure anyone else will have similar results with this system. I wouldn't say it if it wern't true.
Yep sir 'not crazy' Chris, this is similar to my discovery process on Combats in good tune. Just worked so well hot rod phenomena showed up out the blue, to both please me and scare me at once. No need or desire to rev up and jerk loads on a frail Commando to show off, just smooth but quick throttle use and easy slight clutch depress to snick up shifts like an automatic. Only time I got the front to lift while sideways in turns was the last day out before complete tear down for leaks and smoke and expected part wear refreshment, figured nothing to lose, so held WOT to a bit over 7000 before shifts, for the surprise hit of 2S cam kicking in extra piston rush ~6800 on.
I too had to get used to the committed launch offs, even feathering clutch and power not to jerk stuff, just get going decently with traffic closing in. Even in hopped up Ms Peel which indeed would rush out from under if butt not set in seat and bars gripped hard first on throttle ups - never gave surprise pop ups, so suspect you got some work to do to clutch train too. I did get surprise pop ups I hated on my SV650, on days I'd had a flat on Peel and just hopped on SV to go to work normally legally, because I Habitually Always Slow WayT.F.UP for all blinds, and SV would pop up, as I still geared to G sensations of Peel just to get back to curise speed. The other pisser SV did was surprise stoppies I hated, just going by the sense of easy pull downs for all the Blinds Peel allowed not even braking hard. When really testing Peel against sports bikes, I found they had same limits to acceleration and decelerations as I got on SV650, much to my great glee.
If not for rod links on Peel handling insane lean and grip, I'd be totally happy with just Boyer or better points peformance and remain in normal Cdo circles, but as I got so much harsh reactions from sports bikers and ended up embrassing them so often so easy, Peel gets more power to put in leans and straights, with 10.5 CR + boost on 91 octane detonation taboo. I hope 4 custom curves will allow me to get away with it, both on and off road and with and w/o the Drouin belt on. I found if I can get rear lose before turns I can spend rest of the turn trying to save the crash by easing up the loads : )
I'm crazy but seek no cure, just more crazy making G's
