One of them must've had a stroke.

Whoops. I meant to say when exiting hard out of a corner, going downhill, and cresting. All of these conditions will upset your chassis a bit and greatly lighten the load on the forks and cause the wheel to caress the ground. Scary when it happens. Sometimes, your bike just doesn't have anything left to wheelie, lift, and recover once it starts. The only word of advice in that situation would be to sustain engine RPMs, try a very very slight weave to use the road as a damper. Slamming the brake could make it swerve, letting off the throttle as well. The softer more streetable forks are a little more prone to this because they have a more gradual gradient to which they dampen and rebound. A tank slapper on a true track bike is in God's hands, and a crafty rider-oh... and a sweet damper. Here's someone else's take on it... how you deal with it depends on you. I try not to ponder what the bike wants/needs as I ride it by doing complex calculations and recalling what I've read somewhere. I feel for it. That's all you need to do. http://www.ducatimonster.org/forums/riding-techniques/141145-head-shake-why-does-happen.html http://www.msgroup.org/tip.aspx?num=190

Shit. 315 always sucked... once you survive it to 23, it used to be smooth sailing-at least it was when I went to OSU. My buddy Eric and I used to take the 270 belt for lap times LOL!! That was fun at night.

Your muchacha would really bone you if you brought a hundred rowdy bikers to her biz. LOL

Fingerprints-jail for lying.

V-Max... no problem. LOL

you did NOT just whip out the facts like that!!!! AWWW SHOOOOOT!!!

There are a lot of fags that fill up the Taco Bell parking lot across from the Gateway. They look like they'd rather stand by their bikes, than ride though. Always pissed me off when I'd walk through for a burrito... Fly up 315N to 23N... GREAT riding through there.

My bike is adjusted rather well for me. The only time I got any headshake was when accelerating out of a nice corner and then hitting a downhill and cresting. I don't quite know what that combination did, but i started to get some serious wobble. I cracked it open, lightened the front end, and regained my bearing without skipping a beat. A month later I bought an Ohlins damper (turns out, my stock damper had failed). I look forward to testing it out.

Posted in the totally wrong fucking thread...

Call "Hillbilly" LOL!!!

You should just throw some HID fogs on the sides too. The ZX14R already looks like a sentinel from The Matrix, why not draw more attention it? lol

Real men weigh more than 140lbs. faggot.

noooooo. Ann Arbor is a whore, and my mother is Billy Mays.

aaaaand fuck you, Cocksuckton faggot.

Whoops. Wrong pic.

Eh, I'm old I guess. About 80 in fact.

HEY FUCKER! We're not friends anymore!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCqjSLUIkjk Some of the newer ballast types may be more efficient, but the principle is still the same. Even at 5A draw, there are 2 ballasts pulling current. Even though its for a short time, it doesn't take long to destroy your wiring-especially over time.

Look it up...

They may not actually be pulling 30A a piece. They can pull up to 30A (usually its around 12-17A) Either way. They draw that much. See what the voltage drop is over your battery when you turn the ignition with the lights on before ignition of the starter. Eventually, unless you run it to full charge, your ballasts will start to abort the charging cycle and shut off. That happens when your battery cannot supply enough current to feed them.

No. After the ballasts are topped off they do. Upon initial load, they pull up to 30AMPs per ballast. soooo.... 30*4 is ...120A!!!!!! Thats if you start it with the all the HIDs capping

Yeah, one day, its just gonna go "FZZZZZZZT" POP! Hope the switch doesn't melt.
