    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.

Had some weird things happen other night at the track. I was going hammer o nit hard and the entire bike actually jumped in the air like quite a bit from the Pit crews explanations! Also them a frantic crazy lock to lock front handlebar shake ,quite impressive I must ad/ !! I have never had any of my bikes jump right into the air kinda fun but didn't feel really safe. Just wondering is it because of all the new engine horsepower? or...??? Ray maybe way too much horsepower? HMMM. Thanx Mike
 
Sounds like the clutch is too aggressive. Did you only make one run or did it only do it on one run? Also, how high are your wheelie bar wheels off the ground? Launch rpm? Is this a lockup or the slider?
Ray.
 
Ray made one run no wheelie bar slider .050 air gap 2 step 5000 Mike

There is no such thing as to much horsepower.... lol. Excuse my sarcasm. It was a long day at work. No disrespect intended
 
ok 5000 is too high to 2 step a slider. the purpose is to get locked up early and roll the bike forward - not slam and wheelie uncontrollably.

Need to know-- successful slider clutch users launch at a much lower RPM than a normal clutch or lock up clutch bike. forget air gap for now- that tuning detail has nothing to do with what you have going on besides - .050 is too tight easily .070 ~ .110 will work like clockwork. even a little more gap is still FINE.

#1. what springs are you running? ( MTC light, MTC medium? )- what is the spring height? .750 or shorter? #1 most important detail - period.

#2. How much lock up weight do you have on each arm -#2 most important detail --
#3. what is RPM is your stall set at?
#4. What is your final gearing? ---- those are the FIRST 5 questions you need to answer to get some expert assistance. .

post-1-41149-crach3.jpg here is too much horsepower @ the wrong time . WHOOOO!!! or too much lock up - or his schnitz box malfunctioned.
 
I am new to slider clutches so far and like it but...( I am running a NO Bar Bike now and thought slider better) I used to use the MTC Lockup (with wheelie bars its cut 1.14s 60 feet) ) it was good still have it on other engine the little one 1428. I shall have to get into the slider and do some research. I dont know much about them so far. Thanx Mike
 
Too Much Horsepower

Too Much Horsepower

HA HA HA I was kidding bout the HP thing, I am always looking for more but I think ive reached the limits of the old GS s so far. Im not into pro stock stuff ,last thing is better setup get slider tuned or junk it and go back to bar and lockup. Maybe smaller engine instead of 89 mm ? A hayabusa Turbo? gadzooks I have so many gs engines ,,ha ha any how Thanx Mike
