I'm not sure what sub-forum to put this in. Cool article about the Hooligan Series. https://www.bikebound.com/2023/04/28/gy6r/?omhide=true

Indian FTR made number 8 on this list.

By the way, if you are planning track time in the SoCal area, these guys do a solid job with pictures.

I got passed by several really solid riders.

Great video comparisons. I've spent a bunch of time in Australia. I dig the accent. Quick question, is your sound meter in metric or imperial decibels?

The OEM gas cap is serviceable, but, marginal at best. I tried to convince a friend of mine with a CNC machine to make a bunch of aftermarket gas caps for the FTR. He doesn't think it would be profitable.

I finally got the FTR out to Streets of Willow. A pretty good day of riding.

I took mine around the track today and the edges got really gummy. A little bit of slipping towards the hard edge of use.

Wow. That's impressive. I wasn't expecting that much use.

To all the cops reading this, I just want you to know, I only wheelie on private property where the vehicle code doesn't apply. That is all.

"...rapidly releasing the clutch (don't dump it)" This might be the source of my misinformed attitude. I was introduced to the clutch dump method. And learned it was not nearly as controllable as judicious throttle chop. Fine explanation.

I'm listening. Is it safer/smarter to clutch dump? I've always found the opposite. Help me out.

For the novice wheelie practitioner, I would shy away from clutch wheelies. You get everything all at once and if your rear brake game isn't solid, you might exceed your comfort zone faster than expected. Take it up to about 3500, chop the throttle, then back on the gas should bring the wheel...

No interest in racing, the closest I come to that is carving out time for a track day. However, the original appearances of the FTR looked cool and my commute includes highway, back roads, and dirt. I thought the FTR would work for the different surfaces. Test rode one and decided it was not my...

Typically a chin mount on the helmet. Occasionally a bar mount facing the rider.

Oh dear.

What everyone else said. I tried the standard maps. Worthless. FuelMoto maps made me happy.

Huge difference in cold starts (although I live in a perfect, year round climate) and smoothness. The PV3 tunes felt choppy. The Fuel Moto seems to blend well with my bike. Very smooth throttle response, like pouring water compared to the stock and Power Vision tunes. As for horsepower, I...

Located. Thanks all.
