Well this thread grew legs! I see now where the massive performance gains claimed for the elimination of the wet clutch for the dry, come from. A bit of comparing apples with oranges I think.
...When dialed properly, the engine jump to 7200 rpm instantly and stay there to the top speed where it climb to the rev limiter at 7750 rpm. ...
There appear to have been extensive hop-ups and changes done to this machine besides the eliminating of the wet clutch, and performance with all these modifications are being compared to performance of a stock CF Moto!
Not a particularly fair comparison, but as always the compromises needed for the straight line performance increases, must be paid.
Speaking of the CVT alone, if the machine instantly jumps to near rev limiter RPMs when throttled up then you have a drag racing machine, and one that would not be much fun for recreational riding at least by my reckoning. I like to go places and see things, and overcome the odd technical challenge.
If significant weight has been removed from the crank line and it's become a belt slammer with a high engagement RPM already then I can see that on pinning it at a standstill, the crankshaft will whirl up to valve float RPM before the primary closes on the poor belt, providing more snatch at the start and maybe even a wheelie if its on pavement. It also makes the machine even less tractable. How is it at moving ahead just six inches while loading?
If that's what's fun though, there it is. Not my cup of tea but if everyone wanted the same thing, how boring would that be? Peace out.
