I went to race my 14 last night. This is the second time I've raced it. I made some adjustments to the front suspension for better street riding and it seems that it made the bike wheelie a lot harder on the track. Basically I can't get WOT in first anymore without having to chop the throttle to bring the tire back down. I'm not having trouble on the launch, it's usually lifting probably 100' out and holding up through first. I'm a pretty big guy (240 suited)and last time I raced it didn't seem to be such an issue. I got some OK runs 10.5 @141 but it was very hard to be consistent.I'm not trying to get any magic number, I would just like to runs the same everytime. I feel like I can only get 1 of 4 runs to be near my best because I have to come off the throttle at different times.
Anyway I'm looking to some tips on how to adjust the rear suspension to help stop the wheelie action. I'm sure there must be somethign I can do The bike is mainly a street bike so I'm not going to lower it. But, I have been looking into straps because they can be undone and the bike can be ridden normally. Everyone @ the track seems to think that will help but I have no first hand experience with them. Does anyone have an recommendations for brands or setup with the straps?
