I'm not sure if you're taking the piss and sitting back having a laugh or legitimately want more drive out of the corners.
I ride a similarly geared and cc bike to you. At 9k in second gear (~100kmh) there's not a hell of a lot more drive that little IL4 is going to give you thats not already there. Searching for 1st, no brakes, into a corner, at 100kmh is not what you want to be doing right now unless the corner is a hairpin and you're looking to back it in and wheelie it out.
He's a couple of suggestions that may give you that drive you're searching for (no I'm not taking the piss, they may work for you):
- loose a tooth on the front sprocket and add two to the rear (Much more drive in second gear and the top end speed you loose you don't care about anyway. Not so good if you cruise a lot on the motorway.)
- buy a v-twin (you'll learn throttle control and engine braking then)
- buy a thou (ok this suggestion is a little bit of a piss take)
i CAN'T BELIEVE I HAVEN'T ABUSED HIM FOR RIDING A HONDUH TOO....
NO WONDER HE BINNED IT, THE BACK PROBABLY STEPPED OUT ALL OF AN INCH AND THE LIMP WRIST-ED , GAY PERSON, JUST RODE STRAIGHT OF THE ROAD AND SLID ON TEH GRAVEL.
THAT'S PROBABLY A MORE ACCURATE ACCOUNT.
:slap:
Whilst first gear might be good in acceleration up to 100km/hr. I doubt you could go down into 1st gear at 100km/hr.
My question to you is? Would you go into first if you were in a car? Nope. Didn't think so. Well, the same kind of rules apply to bikes. at 100km/hr. You are asking for trouble for even thinking about dropping her into first gear. Suggest you go back to learning to ride and getting to know about gears and safe speeds etc
more meds boom..............hold it down,hold it..........................there ya go
far out man................say gidday to elvis for me
Wow! Boomer returns. You looked at the stats eh? Want to improve your badness![]()
Look, he binned riding how he does. He is a returned rider with a mentor. He posted he binned, which is a lot braver than most as he has learned in this thread.
I have ridden with you, and would be happy to do so anytime. I wonder if the current weather patterns are affecting peoples ability to cope. I do know however that you are going to take a spanking from the mods anytime soon![]()
I say 'bring it' to the mods.. They'd be doing me a favour.
As for stats.. I haven't seen one for most annoying prik yet..??! I must be 'up there' tho ...
