I find the power band on the Z1000 to be so strong and sharp around 7500rpm that it seems to screw up any wheelie attempt. The second the tach passes seven it wants to shoot up past the BP.

This bike feels like it has a turbo or something. I like high end power, but it seems to come on awfully strong and sharp.

03 Z1000 with stock gearing and YOSH pipes.

i wont deny ive had to change my pants on several occasions, but since the bike didn't suffer i'd say thats a good thing

i am just now starting to bring the wheelie down with the rear brake, instead of the throttle, and that does help keep it from flipping at 7500


i assume u r powerwheeling it in first? clutching it in second might be better, but i am still learning that too

you'll learn to work with it. when i'm riding slow i will keep it below 7500 anyway and when i'm riding them fast i use >7500 to ride em anyway, you're wrist will learn about it an compinsate

I've got a Z750 but I feel the same way. There is like a switch: power off/power on

If you have a slip-ons, the 4-1 systems fill the midrange in alot better.

Lucky you...

1st gear is useless. The front shoots up like a rocket. I clutch it up in second.

BUMP for the sake of bumping.

Yep...thats all... the exhausts makes the difference.

Isn't that around the rpm that other members have discovered the secondary butterfly finally starts to open?

Ya sure its not the Camcorder holder that makes the difference?
