As a fellow gsx1400 owner i totally agree,they must be repected.

lol ok just sounded like you were hitting the power hard from having slack/ engine braking - power...My bad :P

I always use maintenance throttle in the corners, enough on to use positive throttle but not enough to spit you off.126nm of torque at 5500rpm with 90% of that available at 2500rpm means it's sounds like you are idleing where most sporties are revving the shit out of themselves. Chain snatch? sounds like it but you can crush the crap out of your cush drive in no time on these things.

LOL yer thats what i mean "maintenaince"but it just sounds like you were dropping right off, if you maintaining it through then yep schweet, just ddnt sound like it by the way you can hear the chain grab tight as you exit. meh meh fookng neow lol

Ummm, 90% of torque on hand at 2500rpm. It's a 1400 mate. If I keep too much power on she spins up, your off and it's all over in a split second. I know, been there and done it and not just once. I have to use maintenance throttle in the corner only and then wind her on as she starts straightening out. Only way to do it and stay in one piece when going quick. 50,000kms of riding these buggers to find that out.

Keep some revs on mid corner bro, you basically idling through them then cracking power on exit, sit in a lower gear so you can hold a slight pull on through the orner, then just roll on when you want to, makes it aloe smoother, more grip too, better to have slight power on than engine braking. Up to you, try it.
