I just purchased a 2008 600 RR after upgrading from a 2005 F4i. Im still breaking in my bike but I notice that acceleration speed from 0-15 is some what slow and as soon as it hits 15 mph it really takes off. Just wondering if that is normal and Im just feeling the difference from the bike upgrade or not.

 

Yep normal. Powerband is up there. Mine takes off at about 9,000rpm.

 

yerp def normal...thats funnii tho, ii was thinkin the same thing 2day wen ii was leaving my boys house...ii wanted 2 showcase a lil summin summin if u kno wat ii mean (NO HOMO)
and ii yank the trottle n nothing really happened in the lower rmp's. and then about 2 sec after or so, it jus went crazii...did ii ever mention..I LOVE MY BIKE!!

 

Perfectly normal for these bikes. You'll feel a small pull around 3k will not pick up til about 6.5k .. Then you just opened Hells Gate and the bike awakens with all fury!

 

You need to start that b!tch like your on a Moto GP grid.
Hold the clutch in while getting the RPM's around4 or 5grandwith one
finger on your front brake. Slowly release the clutch until you feel
the bike wanting to go & then drop the clutch while crank'n the
trottle.

No more slow starts.

 

^^^ sweet.

 

Hey thanks for the input guys, i was a little worried at first but my mind is at ease and its supposed to be sunny and 60 in michigan tomorrow!

 

It just takes a little practice. You just need to find the right RPM's that makes
the bike feel like it wants togo while holding down the front brakes.You know
you got it down when udo it at a intersection cause some dude in a sports car wants
to man up.

 

Watch out for cold tires(Tire Spin) or Looping the bike

 

If you did that on any race grid you'd get left in the dust big time...
on the grid I launch at 10,500 - 11,000. hold the front brake, load the clutch, and when the flag drops quickly but smoothly let out the clutch. When you get good you will carry the front wheel about 6" off the ground through 2nd grear no problem. But I wouldn't do this on the street..
