| |  Need Torture Test Ideas!
I rode a lot today.....over hill and dale......jackshaft is working well....I shift it a lot, lots of times under FULL throttle. No clutch - just shifting like an ape. THIS IS NOT RECOMMENDED -  IT'S AN ABUSE TEST
Anyone got any ideas how I can really abuse this thing more? (aside from hammers, bullets, and thermonuclear devices)  |

Yeah, hold the front brake tight, throttle it up and drop the clutch....hopefully inducing wheel hop. If that don't tear it a new one, nothing will.
Wheel hop, the great desroyer!

Seriously, I think the bike parts are more to worry about than the jackshaft kit.

Wheel hop, the great destroyer! | Well I have been dropping the clutch - a LOT - but I have the grandma gear on....and it's just a torque beast....not a lot of wheel spinning or hopping, just torquing away - it is great on grass and dirt. Quote:

It's really fun to do a hole shot on the street, tear a corner in 3rd, hit 4th and be ripping and knowing two more gears to go, 5th - blimey 30 something.....6th..........FAST. The speedometer was on test bike #1, I've been riding #2, Ghost0 just finished test bike #3. He has the moderate production gear on that one, so it should be faster, but I don't think the engine is 100% broken in (maybe is though)....we hooked the speedo on that bike. So we shall see. |
