You are obviously digging yourself a hole my friend Hi Simon Do you think you can highlight and quote the comments that you are in disagreement with in your post so we know how best to respond cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon1963 Posted October 9, 2020 Author Share Posted October 9, 2020 There is no need to respond. Just accept I put a post up with my experience so others can think that what I have done is interesting and something they might contemplate or one may think ok this change wouldn’t work for me but I’ve ridden the bike in both std form and the new configuration so I no how it feels. you guys are only imagining so you can’t possibly state it is no good ect ect. It’s a forum and whilst comments are welcomed, accusations are not. Stay safe guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornersruns Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 I would urge nobody to follow the advice of simon1963. His riding sounds dangerous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that simon1963 gave a thumbs up to this speaks for itself. Please do not feed the Trolls, their self inflated egos are all the sustenance they need. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe @skipperT or others can share some of their mechanical expertise on the subject? Revving in Lower Gear vs Lugging in Higher Gear | Tech When passing, is it better to baby your motor or downshift? As the article discusses, lugging any engine and then asking it to perform its best while accelerating in the wrong gear will do damage over time (or quite quickly depending on conditions). There’s good info in your link, @betoney but it is written mostly for big twin owners - who have a habit of driving around at 40 mph in 5 or 6th gear because it sounds cool. These are the same guys who blip the throttle on FI bikes at stop lights to keep them “running”. (IMHO of course, but we’ve all seen them.) regarding this thread, and the gearing and operating choices - as mentioned previously it’s a personal choice. I happen to feel our CP3 engine likes to be revved and one of its other characteristics is good torque at low RPM - I don’t recall the exact dyno chart number but seem to remember it’s around 3-4K rpm (Two Wheel DW has lots of charts in the website). Lugging an engine also increases emissions and leaves more carbon behind, which builds up on valve stems and piston crowns. It also accelerates chain/sprocket wear also IMHO because those power pulses have to be transmitted somewhere... also there’s no knock sensors on our bikes, remember ... The ECM won’t change timing based on your riding habits. I’m no engineer either, but I have run into wackos on all brands and models that will do what they do, and will never understand why they tend to have to replace certain parts/perform repairs that other riders don’t... -Skip 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
