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.

Well - that is my point in a way, folks are concerned their bikes might be damaged. So far my 20 year old bike is not complaining. Wish I had better brakes though!!

I wear my sunglasses when I ride because my eyes tear up!! And I have lowest gear set on. 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.

Well - unlike an auto - that would just kill it - dual pull brakes!!
