johnnymack63 Posted April 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 The dial around the rev counter doubles as the shift light. It flashes yellow first, then red. The red light above it, on the right is the rev limiter. Keep that in mind when you watch it, and the speedo has given up at 185mph. The bike keeps accelerating through the shift lights and he holds it on the rev limiter in 6th gear for long periods. The yellow light to the left of the red rev limiter light is the traction control. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not normal is it ? Interestingly, the only bit of the who lap that Rutter remarked on that was a bit on the edge was the shake at 1:52 in Part 2. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ovi Posted May 5, 2019 Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 Your channel just popped up on my you tube feed and didn't even know you had one. Thought I would have a check this bit out before posting it up. Could do with a decent vlog to watch if you fancy doing one @johnnymack63 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jmac how much had Micky ridden the v4 before this? i mean flippng heck. i mean. the mans a lunatic. We took it to Jurby. He did about 3 or 4 laps on it, made some very small adjustments, and that was it. He did 2 laps on it, the first one with the suspension active, the second one with it fixed (that was the point of the feature). Honestly I can't remember which one that is. If it was his second lap, then the most mileage he would have done on the bike would have been a few laps of Jurby + one previous lap of the course.

He's absolutely fine. Was a biggie in FP2 on the out lap. Another rider in front go him shut off on the run down to lodge corner. Michael hit the back of him so hard that he buckled his front wheel, but managed to stay on, until Gary Johnson ploughed into the back of him and they both went flying. His bike was an absolute mess.

2639 Posted June 9, 2019 Report Share Posted June 9, 2019 If these things get any faster.... the return road is going to need to move a bit further down toward St Ninian's crossroads. Top stuff. Could do with a bit longer gearing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
