I rode dirt bikes and was good at 2nd gear motor starts.
The clutch on this bike is giving me a hard time, plus the stock gearing I'm sure hurts me.
Deal is I ride the bike 400-500 miles a week, and cruise 80 mph pretty much the whole way. Thinking that changing the gearing out will kill my MPG.
Sure would like to know if there's a trick to getting a good launch on this heavy beast. There's a super fine line when trying to slip the clutch between not enough and too much.
Seems it goes straight from slipping too much, to full engage and bogging the motor down.
Maybe I'm being a weenie on the throttle?
