Matt that 15 tooth front sprocket would make it very difficult to keep the wheelys under control. No wonder your are struggling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I JET Member 325 Member For: 11y 11m 24d Gender: Male Location: Wollongong Posted 28/03/15 07:48 AM Share Posted 28/03/15 07:48 AM Few close up pics of the wheels as requested. Man this thing just keeps on impressing me. Similar to my last big twin, they take quite a while to open up when they're new. I just hit 10,000kms and this motor just keeps getting better and better.....it does clutch up wheelies in 4th at 110km/hr now. It has the top end power of a 1000cc supersport but the low down and mid range torque is just bull sh!t....the power spread is like no other bike I've had the pleasure to ride.And it looks bad ass..!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure the r1 with standard gearing does just over 170km/hr in 1st gear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The peak is fully open at the top. I did take it off last year on my trip to the snowy's as we were doing quite long days travelling at high speed for long periods. On my previous bike, 1190 adventure I would leave it on all the time as the bike offered good wind protection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
