You won't miss a shift again. You won't worry about having to pull your feet up. Just push the horn button and the bike does the work for you.
That will at LEAST knock a .1 off your time.
You're making amazing progress. Heck, i can barely 60' in the 1.4s at 65" (my problem is tooo much power though lol).
You're having wheelie problems.. Here's how to check your problem:
at the back of the bike, hold it upright off the kickstand. Press down real hard to make the bike squat. You're looking for two things here, first is how hard/fast it squats and second how slow it rebounds.
You want the bike to squat hard, and rebound slow. HOWEVER it can squat too hard, and it can rebound too slow.
Wheelies are generally caused by too hard of a squat, and too slow of a rebound (a combination). To remedy this, you'll want to tighten up the compression and or speed up the rebound.
I personally start with the compression. Tighten it up 2-3 clicks, and make a pass. Make sure everything was the same (same launch basically). If it improves, you're going in the right direction. If it gets worse, you're going in the wrong direction (at this point go back to starting point and 2-3 clicks in the opposite direction). If it doesnt change, go back to the starting point and start adjusting your rebound in the same manner.
Keep up the great work, and keep us updated!
