So now comes the engineering part.
If in 1st gear the 600cc bike has an overall gear ratio of 14.257 and a peak HP of 101 at 13500rpm(946 rpm at the wheel), and the 1000cc bike has an overall gear ratio of 8.195 in 1st gear (7752 rpm to achieve the same road speed), How much engine HP does the...
I tend to agree but several more experoanced racers have all said having too much power is slowing my progresdion due to my survival reactions to the power of the 1000.
Yes i can tune the secondary throttle plates to do what ever i want. The factory programming allows for this as that is exactly what they do when you switch to the medium or low maps on the power selector switch. All i would doing is retuning the low power map on a dyno with a commercially made...
I appreciate your concern for my saftey. However my question was on engine Engineering not on motorcycle purchasing.
what specifically about having less air and fuel in the cylinder will make the bike unridable as that is exactly what went on with much older liter bikes that were carbureted...
Isn't making throttle response worse what we want though? If I slap the throttle open mid corner on the 1000 I'm going to get a heck of a lot more torque going to the rear tire than if I was on the 600cc bike. Bad throttle response is the goal. Just only as bad as the 600s.
Tuning is pretty...
So I was having a discussion with a fellow motorcycle racer and he stated that The bike I'm riding has too much horsepower for my skill level. I currently ride a 1000cc gsxr1000. He suggested I sell the bike and get a 600cc gsxr600. Well I love my liter bike and even though he's probably right...
