|  Hard acceleration shifting points?
I am interested to hear how far people have pushed their m50's in each gear during hard acceleration? Today I accelerated on a freeway ramp, pushed the bike to somewhere between 40-45 mph on 2nd gear and almost to 70 mph on 3rd gear. It seemed that my M50 would have still gone further on those gears but I didn't have the guts to try. I don't have a tachometer but I know I did not hit the revv limiter yet. I have pc III (with dyno-customized map), Silvertail aftermarket pipes and stock air filter as a setup on my bike. It gave 55.1 hp at dyno bench from cranckshaft; that's probably something like 47-48 hp from rear wheel. I also installed GIPRO gear display unit which (in addition to showing which gear is on) eliminates the advanced timing retard function on fuel-injected bikes. Gives better throttle response on gears between 1-4 and believe me, you really notice the difference. Very strong pull immediately after shifting. |
