Nice 2 metre long swing arm Also was that all turbo lag? he rolls his throttle on max then seems like 2 seconds later the revs come up ? None the less, that would be so scary to ride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dyno holds a set rpm and then lets the bike rev into the run. But its a big turbo for the size motor, so yeah it takes some time to build boost on the dyno compared to the smaller snail on my 1000cc engine.But he has a boost building function set up like on my bike in the second video above (but better) and he is building up to around 12psi on the start line before he throws the clutch.So lag isnt an issue unless he has to chop the throttle and get back on it.I'll be racing against him next weekend so my hopes are pinned on him not being able to put all that juice through the tyre or him busting a wheelie or something. Once he has the shut the throttle for any reason, I'll be gone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special clutches.We both run Hays Convertible clutches. Brett uses his in lockup mode so it works like a normal clutch but uses weights and springs to handle the locking up of the clutch.I use mine in slider mode which means it operates purely on engine rpms and I dont run a clutch lever. I use a two step limiter to set launch rpms which is operated by the headlight flasher button and when I release the button, the engine spins up into the clutch and off I go. Still operated by weights and springs, just in a different way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
