ok so i got a 954. i went down 1 tooth in the front and it helped a little bring it up all around and i got real used to it. i started trying slow **** but by the time i got it up i was going faster than i wanted to.

so i went up +8 in the rear and now its so twitchy. it is almost scarier with the big sprocket on there then going faster without it. when i go on the highway i ride them out real smooth in 3rd. but first just seems rediculous. i cant keep it smooth. everyone is choppy and scared the **** out of me.

so do i just need to work on throttle control or is there something else i should be doing?

 

As long as you have the rear brake covered, crank your idle up to 3 to 3.5K that will help a lot. When you hit BP and back off the throttle, the high idle will keep it there and you will have to ride the brake a little to get it back through BP.
Post your success. And wear your gear.

 

thanks, i always thought the idle stuff was for when your doing no handers but ill have to try that. ill just have to make sure that im on the brake real good so i dont loop it

 

Just noticed you from MA, bring that clam to Manchester NH and ride with us.

 

God i wish you guys were closer to CT!!!! i owuld LOVE to ride with some peeps

i have a 954, raised my idle to 2500, and it climbs to liek 5.... sucks, i think its a 954 thing

 

sounds like you need to work a little on brake control how good are you when it comes to brakin at bp?

 

hey my mother actually just moved to alton bay NH. so i guess ill be up there a few times.i think i rode with a bunch of you guys in boston. you were all killin it.

as for the break control. . . on the highway im fine and can keep it up there. but when im trying to do slow stuff its so damn twitchy nothing is smooth and its all choppy with me so im scared to bring it back that far cause i might loop it. ive done it once and really dont wanna do it again

 

I was on that Boston run.... the night that Johnny from DTE got hit on Newbury st? You don't need brake control, just get that idle higher and you'll smoth out.

 

he got hit? did jethro crash into him? i couldnt go to the bar because im am not of legal drinking age so i took off. but i heard there was an accident

where do you guys ride up in NH?

 

Dude your complaining about the bike being twitchy and your riding with short sleeves and shorts?! Dunno about you but I value my looks little more then that...

 

flametoe ~ Manchester isn't that far from us in Burlington. You got some sick spots up there? We should get together and rock out. A few of us will road trip over to you guys sometime soon.

-1 +11 here on my 954. You just have to get good w/ rear brake and stay steady on the throttle. Clutch it up to BP as quick as you can.

and....






PRACTICE....PRACTICE....PRACTICE....PRACTICE....

 

GEAR ****!

nah for real i dont wear that when i ride. i was just doin a quick endo for the cam.

i was doing highchairs and tank spreakers soooooo smooth, then when i try the slow stuff its so different. ill keep working on it though

 

Ohhhh rock on...
