Decimation

Can you shift from 1st to 2nd without the clutch? I normally shift to 2nd with the clutch and then pre-load the rest of the gears. I'm nervous that you can't shift past neutral without the clutch, so I don't screw with it. Also, on the track with a stock 08 R6, what should my RPM to Shifting ratios be around? I'm not really schooled up on gearing. I normally just shift at 6k RPM when I'm just out on the road. It's obviously different when you're trying to get going quicker.

Found this on stumbleupon.com the other day....I've actually been playing the entire song on a constant loop for who knows how long. Wtf is wrong with me...

Cool story, bro. I see I've already made a name for myself.

I see a lot of people are riding tomorrow to Hocking Hills. I'm not really down to ride 3 and a half hours, ride for however long, and then ride 3 and a half hours back. I heard route 250 has a plethora of decent curves and it supposed to be somewhat fun to ride. If anyone knows the route, or just wants to ride, let me know. I live in Ravenna, not even 15 minutes from Kent. Sunday morning/afternoon-ish is what I'm thinking.

Well...I was going to ask if anyone minded an OR newb showing up...until I saw how far this place is from Ravenna.

You're just a douche, man. I wasn't being an "asshole" until you put your hand in the basket.

Heh, trust me, I have thick skin and my sense of humor is there, albeit witty and dry. Also, if someone whose spelling is that of a 5th grader's has lasted this long, I'm sure I'll do just fine

Because everyone on this website has the Godlike knowledge that you do. Just because someone owns a motorcycle, doesn't mean they know everything about it. This is why I ask questions. If I didn't, I'd end up destroying a $10,000 motorcycle. If anyone is showing restraint, it's the ones that have to sift through the "holier than thou" bullshit to find the answers they need.

I see...I really appreciate the info, man.

Haha, well I guess that makes me feel a LITTLE bit better. I guess I'm just a bit touchy about who is around my bike...

What the hell is the fan for, then? It doesn't come on until the bike is at 214F.

I'm not going to roll into his shop, have him see my bike, and have him instantly think "Shit, not THIS retard." Nah son, homie don't play that.

I guess I'm just paranoid. I'm not very spun-up on motorcycle mechanics.

Leave it to me to not look in the manual.

Chill out. No need to get butthurt over some counter-sarcasm. I fight fire with fire.

Oh, and I can see why everyone is referring me to DucRx to get my bike worked on. I see that he is very professional and he is also very helpful. Note the sarcasm.

Ok, but they argued that the ram-air in the front of the R6 will cool it down more, thus keeping the running heat lower. I'm not sure I trust just killing the engine when the bike is at 215F.

Cool story, bro.

No, but my brother is. I'll probably be giving him a ride to and from. Never really got into Iron Maiden. Old School Black Metal bands are the only "older" bands that I dig.
