I just installed a stock pipe for my bike I got for an awesome deal on ebay (10 dollars). I went out for 5 minutes, popped over 5 huge wheelies, I even got one up so high and I was like idling on the throttle I think I was at balance point cause it didn't drop until I let my hand off the throttle.

All I know is, with my RS-3 everything was scary, and jerky, and the powerband was kinda harsh (real kick at 8-9k) and while it doesn't feel as powerful, the powerband is tons smoother it pulls almost the same all the way to 11k. Couple that with the low noise and it's just too easy to clutch wheelies up now.

(can't really power wheelies at this altitude with the stock pipe but who gives a **** when you can clutch a wheelie up at 15mph)

you said yesterday you dont do wheelies and it was impossible because your front is strapped down and the altitude give me a sec and ill find where you said it and repost



EDIT: im just gonna post the whole conversation btw i saved it so i could laugh some more and post it other places

FHL

I said I strapped my front end at the 1/4 mile track you idiot.

FHL

Go ahead you moron, you're trying to deny what my bike does in the 1/4 mile after I added a midpipe and header and Power Commander with map.

I had to get rid of it anyway and sell the pipe so I could buy some things I needed.

HavokCycle

so.. what did it do at the track?

i made a post about a conversation we had the other day...he claims 10.3 with exhaust and mapped...a pro clicked off 10.8 and hayabusa's run 10.237 so waht do you think???


look in general motorcycle discussion

HavokCycle

: thats great. try again kid, 10.3 in denver *5000 feet* is like a 9.3 at sea-level.

l3eerhunter

you could run that on an F4i with those mods if you're a hustler

FHL

I was staying with my cousins in Lodi California for 3 weeks when my dad had to go on a business trip to new york.

It was at sea level. I haven't tried to run it up here.

FHL

Yeah I spent the entire day there, I had 10 runs. I think my first run was 11.7 or something.

what's that smell? the word bull comes to mind

nwstuntbike

although it is possible

FHL

That's right it's possible because it happened. I wish I had the slips but I decided not to take them with me on the plane

XPnugget

anything is possible, why are you kids so quick to hate? I got laid last night, you believe me, or am I full of **** too?

10.3 is fast for a 600 but could be done. My buddy has a lowered 1000 and runs 9.90's (137 mph or so)with nothing more than a M4 bolt-on. And that may be a few hundred feet over sea-level.

Ok let's get this post back on track.

Here's an update -

I have found balance point. I have no idea why people were saying it was gonna be extremely difficult and I'd need to wheelie 1000 times to get to it. Well it's not really that difficult, I basically slip the clutch I dunno what rpms not looking at the tach but rolling on the throttle around 30mph.

I get it up SMOOTH as hell, rolling off the throttle as it gets higher (all within about 2 seconds) as I hit the balance point I roll off until I'm at as much throttle as I'd be using to cruise on the highway.

I've ridden it out at balance point for about 250-500 feet so far and this is the first day I've really tried to do high wheelies so I think I'm doing pretty well.

Good deal, just practice slow. I run stock pipes just because it's quite, but I did like my M4 for a little extra pep, when it goes to try and stall out cause I'm on the brake too hard, lol.

About the 10.3, it's very possible. One of my teammates used to beat 929's on his 01 GSXR 600, it's all about the rider. (he's only 125lbs, lol). Power to weight is everything and then when the rider has skill on top of all of that, you got some impressive numbers.

FHL

I'm around 130. What are the test riders, like, 150 pounds?

Hey dude, you're full of sh*t. I have the same bike, all your listed mods and more, and I can't pull what you say you can in a 1/4. Smoke less crack and the voices will stop.

iwannagixxer

if power to weight is everthing, why does the busa beat a 1k in the quarter?

you tools. torque and power equally means everything.
