"Yes i pulled the flies and have brocks street map and it runs even smoother. You'll see. I talked to steve at brocks he said the maps were made for flies in or out."....Owner speaks.
"srey, Leave them in. Both up, a brisk twist, those flies act as an air brake. You lift, they close some too. Yes, the bike is too twitchy for two. Yes, you can get away with it if you are on top of the throttle action. Yes, the bottom end will have more torque for two up. But, that slight safety valve when needed, it is better to keep them in. Yes, it has a slight difference. Yes, you will lose a 1/3rd of what is K-skid".....doesn't own one....never ridden one."Yes, it has a slight difference".Pls explain?
"Safety valve"....has nothing to do with secondaries...'safety valve' is directly activated by wheel spin,from front/back or both.Ignition 'adjusted' to prevent engine acelleration.That's KTRC..
Sensitivity of KTRC depends on setting.This determines the activation time of the system.Secondaries have nothing to do with this activation time.
The secondary removal is going to be the most noticeable while opening the throttle in roll-on type of acellerations.It will give the midrange a bigger shot.Can definitely be felt in these types of riding.The higher the rpm...the more this is going to be noticeable.That's why the drag guys are removing them.But it won't turn your 'two up' riding into a wheelspin,necksnapping adventure.Not at all.Throttle application will be virtually the same...until you really open er up.But it still won't be uncomfortable for your pillion.You'll love it...so will she. Best compared to 16/43 gearing on the previous years bikes with secondaries removed and mapped.Your new kickazz motorcycle will feel like she's living the dream....DO IT!
I have the Rifleman's 1/5th throttle mod on my 14R...if THIS doesn't cause 'twichyness"...nothing will.Mine does not twitch in the least.In any throttle application.Slow roll on...changing gears,acellerating mid corner...changing gears cornering...none of that.Gassing her and letting up,then regassing...no problem..smooth...
