    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

That actually helps a lot Ray thanks! So if im understanding correctly, the two step basically just allows you to launch at WOT without revving the engines brains out at the line. Similar to a stall converter? And the lock up allows you to actually spin the clutch a little so the wheel hooks up before it gets all the beans?

Yeah, a 2-step is just a rev-limiter with 2 limits, one limits set for staging, and the other set at top engine RPM. At times another step is added for the burnout.

So if I have this correct, if you have a "slipper" type clutch that doesn't engage till 4500 RPM, you set your "Launch Step" just below, 4000 RPM. So while your staged you can hold the the bike at WOT and the 1st step limiter will hold it at your set RPM. After the launch, then the 2nd step of the 2-step kicks in as an over-rev limiter.

Correct me if Im out of line.

Edit. A Stall converter isn't like a 2-step, a stall converter is like a clutch in a way that the Stall will not engage the tranny untill the motor is "on the cam" or in its powerband. Well for racing... Think of a stall as your left hand, if you put your bike into gear while the clutch in engaged, your bike will die, so you rev the motor a bit till you find the RPM the motor has to be at so that it won't die when you let the clutch out, thats your "stall" RPM. Well in the easiest way I can explain.

Get in your car, stand on the brakes and mash the gas, the motor will stall or give up revving and thats the RPM of the stall converter of your car. Just don't do it for long it will take no time to burn up the fluid.
