GP Shift

[Kurlon]

Let me sit your ass on a 125 for a few sessions. You won't think shifting an SV is such a chore after that.

Just think, if your 125 adopted 1990s two stroke tech advancements you could have a usable power band wider than a Canadian nickel.

[cdovego]

Coolest fucking feeling ever is feeling the rear slide on the exit of 6 through 7 under power.

That and the step out from 3-4 is good times, dunno which is better.

[CEO]

The 6-7 one is much less likely to highside you than the 3-4 one... so I'll take 6-7 all day long LOL

Or maybe the risk is the thrill

edit: lots of movement on my r6 up 4... not so much on the SV anymore. then again i'm still figuring it out.

[csmutty]

I've never really slipped 3-4.

Except when I high sided the shit out of myself as a novice on my ex500 when my pipe picked the rear up off the ground.

Must have been an impressive lean or it's got a low-hanging pipe?

[nhbubba]

I've had the SV step out in 3-4 in the dry. I chalk it up to bad bp combined with a poorly setup bike.

Ex500 stock pipes hang low. Had to have the stockers for the production class. They would routinely be bent to avoid this. It was always questionable if that went above the rules.

[Paul_E_D]

The trick was to cut the crossover pipe an inch or so shorter to pull the pipes in tighter. And then flatten the bend that sticks out by repeatedly banging it down in the corners. Then you could start dragging the case protectors. Good times!

[csmutty]

And lose your brake pads when they got low!

And to think that sometimes I think that racing an SV is questionably smart... Lol

It was never a question, it was absolutely against the rules as written. There was a "gentlemen's agreement" within the EX Mafia to never call another member out over it. Had I stayed in the class and wanted to push the issue I could have protested. A few big names were also doing stuff like skipping head gaskets (just using chem bond) to bump the compression a touch, etc that was also officially out of the rules. I even went as far as making rules proposals that would ok all the stuff in the off the books agreement and get it on paper but the class died on it's own so who cares now.

[Paul_E_D]

No BASE gaskets, ok. No head gaskets? Are you sure? THe EX loves to blow a head gasket as it is. We went the other way and used cometic gaskets that were a little thicker than stock.

[Kurlon]

Might have been base but I recall head for some reason. It was quite the surprise to find which is why it's stuck in my head. Sans a pesky gasket to get in the way Loctite 515/518 can do amazing things on an aluminum motor... Can also make it a PITA to take apart down the road, but when you're questing for ponies...

I'll trade you even for the last round of F40 lights....

[rolker]

I've seen how you race in F40L. I'm not letting you anywhere near my 125!

What about me?

[nhbubba]

New plan for October : Musical bikes, when the music stops lights go out, jump on whatever's closest and go

[carsick]

Holy hell that would be awesome.

[nhbubba]

I want to see Heath & co running around picking up that many rear stands...

Do it le mans style... have someone hold the bikes at the wall, run towards it and go.

[Tas]

I'll let any of you ride my bike in exchange for someone else's.

[carsick]

Man, I try but she always says no!
