manuel Posted August 11, 2014 Author Share Posted August 11, 2014 Yesterday I did a balls out run on the FZ-09 in the desert and with the new ECU flash, fuel controller and pipe and me fully tucked I was able to reach 153 MPH. I was speed shifting without the clutch. 153MPH? I simply can't fathom that on a bike. Crazy! Side observation: noted that GSR 1000 particle in your sig. That will be a monster. Hopefully they will bring that line to North America. Always liked them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gatrgof Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 This bike is very jerky down shifting. Yamaha should provide free remapping so it doesn't shut the fuel off while downshifting, stupid idea and dangerous as well. I also straightened out the shifter so that it rests on my toe. That short shifter is another bad idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can often get a near silent 1st gear engagement first thing in a morning by giving it a little rev with the clutch pulled in just before putting it in first. Though I do mention rev match on the way down I have to say that on a motorcycle that is the normal and correct way to change down and I cant imagine anyone doing otherwise bikes dont have synchromesh gear boxes like cars so you have to get the revs right to get a clean engagement.
