<edited Lugging Primer> Lugging an engine means putting the engine under an extremely stressful load.
Oh well now that makes all the difference! Due to your primer on lugging I'm totally convinced! Perhaps we
should make that post a sticky, or add it to the Wiki. You must be some kinda motorcycle engineering god.
How has Mama Kaw stayed in business all these years without you to proof read their owner's manuals?
Perhaps they just want to spend money on warranty work out of the goodness of their hearts so people will
stay employed. Yeah, that must be it.
I pretty much agree with what you said about lugging, or at least agree that it is bad for the bike's power train.
I disagree, as does Mama Kaw, and probably jscC6, and perhaps others, that "just cruising" in 6th above 34mph
is lugging on a C14. Going up hill with the throttle wide open at that speed in that gear would be. Just cruising at 35-40 in
6th, or even to
gradually accelerate with a modestly increased throttle opening to 45 mph (if the speed
limit increased for instance) would not be lugging. Perhaps it's the "just cruising" term that is the problem.
Still, to effectively refer to someone here as an ignorant fool because you don't like their gear ratio selection after
you said on the other thread...
Bottom line is we are all riders and deserve respect equally.
..seems....well never mind...I've referred to you as a motorcycle engineering god, I'll leave it at that.
Nope......you are just boring the hell out of it,....
Agreed.
Your life your bike and your ride.
This is yet again another rides yours, I'll ride mine.
KIPASS is the ultimate anti lug system as long as the batteries are fresh and SteveWFL is alive
So, what oil should I run with car tires?
