I hear ya man. Just like the 07 and up 600rr's have Idle Air Bypass thats supposed to reduce back torque like a slipper does...........I guess my Idle Air Bypass system is broke as a mofo :nada:snikwad;22764 wrote: i dont need one, but ive always wanted one.
Also from what i understand a lot of these bikes claiming to have a slipper clutch from the factory really dont, but have what i like to calla "slipper-like" clutch.
I both agree & disagree with this. I look at a slipper clutch a like I look at a steering damper. For example 99% of bikes don't NEED a damper, with a good suspension set-up and a loose grip on the bars (I would consider this riding skill) it's just not necessary, but most riders have to firm a grip on the bars and self induce headshake. So instead of correcting the problem, they put a damper on the bike and mask the real problem.crewnutz;22759 wrote: seriously...........WERA rules, CCS drools lol
:hand: WERA racers are all just Mongo wannabe's.... :nutkick:
But I'm just bitter because WERA doesn't have anything in the Midwest...
But back to the slipper.

A slipper is just another outside control to make an ok rider a bit better without actually pushing him to learn his bike more and more. The rider then builds dependancy on that slipper without emphasizing his skill building.

I got a chance to experience the Slipper on the R6 for the first time and I have to say it could have been a bad situation otherwise. This was all my fault though for not going easy at first to get used to the bike. General consensus is they are GREAT.
It also works for the rider who is at the master skill level, who benefits from the slipper going into turns faster and smoother. Then, at that turn here comes a guy with an older 2001 F4i passing you while texting his mom.

This is just a thought...based mostly on the changes going on in F1 with all the gadgetry controlling the cars and such.
Any thoughts please share...i'd like to see all points of view.
