AWESOME V-TWIN SOUND! - RC51 power wheelies through the gears

Powered up in first gear, popped it into second as soon as it was up, got 'er into third, held it for a while, put it into fourth for the touch-down.

man, i guess i need to drop a tooth in the front then. mine will not power the front wheel up like that unless i hit a small bump in the road or something. i have a power commander and 2 bros but its still not enough i guess.

@ericzanutto Ya man, the difference in the gearing is small enough that the rpms on the highway aren't sky high and you get that extra hit in first gear that'll lift off the front wheel with only throttle. Though i usually just give it a tiny bit of clutch so I know it's going to come up when I want it to.

Tanx! :) Wish we could see your tach! lol

[therealtony]

@MichaelNaphan I basically pinned the throttle at the torque peak. Somewhere in the middle of the revs ;)

@MichaelNaphan I just checked the high def version on my harddrive (don't know why it isn't HD on youtube) and I can actually see the tach a bit. I pinned the throttle at 6000 rpm in first gear. My gearing is changed from stock. I have one less tooth on the small sprocket. Better for wheelies but still good on the highway.

I had Ballad of John Henry on while watching this, just made it that much more awesome.
