Where to find Motorbike Performance figures/charts ??

If you have a lot of lock on yer gonna get a slapper .. If you just have abit on normally just a chirp from the tyre and a shake of the head . The tuono really likes to shake its head especially above 140ish but the damper keeps it under control but i aint pushed it much further than that .

The sv dont really power wheely and you would be quite safe to do W.O.T in second with no issues and even in first with some clutch slip .

Also if you do get a slapper ...dont tense up and grip the bars ...will only make it worse and you will be visiting A&E or yer nearest hedge . Back the throttle gentle off trail the back brake and and dont fight the bars...most times this will allow you to ride through a slapper ... Not always but most .

Persil
 
Yea the only time I got the SV (never tried to wheelie on it) to loft the front wheel was when I had the ex on the back and gave it loads of revs and slipped the clutch from the lights, first time it came up was quite funny bars went light then dropped it down at an angle I sure got some stick for that when we stopped :p but yea the SV aint got enough power to send you into a voilent tank slapper like an inline would if your on the limit, but if you turn the steering on the lock when you come down expect to end up in the hedge :p
 
Hah marvellous! I'm still not riding it anything like crazy, although i'm leaning over more and more and can do largeish roundabouts at a decent speed now without too much crying! Love the SV!

Only 2 more days and i'll be riding it across Europe doing more miles than i've yet done on it, should be fun!

8k starts! Sorry, just got to hotel and re-read this stuff! I can't bring myself to do this STILL, it feels wrong to 'murder' the clutch like that!
