VSS/ABS There is NO MAGIC here!

You can't be serious, maybe compared to some lumberwagon harvey danielson but to any real sportbike its buckets of **** slow.

Seth, I hear ya Bro. But a broken back and 20 plus years removed from bike riding and 130 is fast for me on a bike at this point. I have had 14 up that high and have loved it. I don't know what the top limit is on this machine, but it seemed like it had more in it. However, the CHP is everywhere and it's not worth a trip to jail and losing my license. Perhaps on a track day or something some day, I don't know. But I also must accept my limitations and be happy with what I have achieved so far. Besides I am having more fun on the twisties now!

I know I know, I AM THE RADIO YOU CAN NOT OUT RUN ,that is my job.
I will disclaim this with speed is relative, some cage drivers think 100mph is fast. My standard is what I told Bernard at the chicago event, 150mph is the current standard because a american squad car will go 145mph and I need that 5mph extra.

I have had my days of truly high speeds. I have raced and have had street 625 HP Camaros and vettes, and each has come close to 200. But again, doing that on public highways seems ludicrous to me now. I guess I'm just getting old. Or wise. You decide which! :roflblack:

for 80% of the riders out there it will never be pushed but I will like it to not be as sensitive. it limits my double the posted on the public tracks and scews up mine exit and entrance because you have to adjust for it.

There have been times when the nanny has angered me because I got into a real groove and the system does limit you. SO I have toyed with the idea of disablinig it believe me. We'll see if I ever actually do it. Buit in all reality learning to be smoother and picking better lines will increase performance and mitigate risk. I just need to be a better rider, and I'm working oni it! hyea:

Excellent... let me know any ideas you come up with too. I'm wanting to do this in the winter too.

Will probably just end up with a switched unit--- I would love to be able to at least exit a drive and have the bike at a bit of an angle without that embarrassing sputter.. but I'm not going to bypass it for good--- just want a temporary option for some occasional fun...:2thumbs:

Ideally I would love something tied to the FRONT wheel speed that you could set the VSS to turn on once you reach a certain speed (adjustable would be the bomb!). I see little need for the VSS under 30 mph.

The sensors are not cheap

Front:

25a CAPTEUR *SPEED SENSOR
706200495

$89.99

Rear: CAPTEUR *SPEED SENSOR
706200560

$89.99

I definitely would like it switchable, (adjustable might be a stretch) My 16yo always takes my bike and I don't want him without VSS.lol
