Wheel spinning up?

Post by coops »

What i thought was some sort of weird rapid clutch slip/grab. Ive been advised by another 1K post classic racer that its my rear wheel spinning up over small bumps in the track!!
Could that be true?

very feasible. At those sort of revs you're hitting peak torque and power area. On the road on a std bike it only takes a small damp patch or loose surface to spin the rear.
If its not broken it dont need fixing

Cool :headbang: Maybe its time for that Ohlins rear shock that's lying under the bench to go on the bike. That might help a little.

Yes.

Less hi-speed rebound damping, maybe a bit less hi-speed compression damping and/or a little more compliance in the spring rate
