But he in not doing it at the strip, so its really meaningless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the image is good you will not look so distant and will look a lot faster. I would prefer to go through some chains and clutches before adding a longer swing arm, better to learn properly before improving the bike. If the video is 4K then he could zoom in on the edit before uploading and still be in 1080p or greater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will do that from now on, I didn't know that about shorts I was just thinking extended swingarm will counteract it wanting to flip at higher rpm launching Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could probably do with leaning forward more on the launch to keep it down you're right, its something I'll be testing on the next day there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A swingarm will make the same issue reveal itself going faster, making it more of a problem for someone inexperienced. Maybe a slower bike would be better for learning? I would just carry on with yours with good tires and parts. That’s my knowledge after having done no racing! It’s worth what you’re paying for it 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
