All I know is I looked up and Doug was doing cart wheels 10 feet up off of the race track over your head. That little R1 had soo much torque he broke the chain in 3 places.. We always just shift gears and don't mess with the clutch once under way. I guess the clutch thing is more like drag racing huh, Hold the throttle down and slip the clutch til about 12000 rpms or so>>then BANG drop the clutch..>>that would be what the drag racers call the "LAUNCH"

We don't mess too much with R-1's But computers are fooled all the time. I would bet if you could and you probably can install some old pre drive by wire injector bodies it would work just fine.. One of the problems with the r1 is it has a very short stroke and thus less torque, but as you spin it up the HP takes over.
