Install an aftermarket steering damper... OEM damper sucks.

lift 2 will bring the front wheel up higher... and 1 even higher.

 

I don't have my manual in front of me but I believe you have it backwards... 1 allows for the highest front wheel lift if I remember correctly. I'll look when I get home.

 

Thanks for checking on the settings for me. my Kaw was smooth as silk with coming down and weighed 100Lbs more.

 

Straight out the manual...

 

I have found the lift control does not work over crests of hills. I also experience a more than subtle wheel drop. I think this has to do with the how the system actually determines if lift control needs to be engaged. Next to the brake indicator there is the level indicator. When going down hill there is a little blue bar towards the front (even at constant speed) and the same as going up the hill, a little blue to the back.

When going over the crest of the hill, the front wheel is coming off the ground because the ground is moving down. The bike isn't pointing up (as it would in a normal wheelie on level ground), but it is mostly level with the ground going down which is simulating lift. Therefore, the lift control might see the bike is level (as the instruments indicate it is) and, therefore, doesn't need to engage lift control. No matter what the ground is doing, the bike perceives it is level.

I could be completely off on how this system works, but this is my anecdotal understanding.

 

I can't tell if it works on hills either. some of the guys in my thread asking this said they can feel it work. it might work down gradual hills like on a track but cresting sharp drops like on the street i'm not so sure. as it always feels like it's getting way up there more than it does on flat ground. I'm too much of a wimp to try to let it keep going I always shut it down. lol
if it doesn't I don't think it's for any of the reasons you stated. however great thinking. but the bike has the IMU with the gyro measuring 6 axis.
I think it would know by the slowing of the front wheel speed and the downward movement of the bike.

just a theory. probably way wrong.

 

Even on lif 1 the wheel barely comes up lol. Gotta turn that shit off to have fun

 

I agree that it should sense it the wheel slowing down but it may not look at that like Kaw does. Probably all related to the pitch the gyro is thinking. But, I am no engineer either just a guy on a Rocket.

 

Don't forget about TCS. It will also stop front end lift. I turned off LIF and still
couldn't bring up the front very far. I didn't try it with TCS off yet.

 

idk about that i ride with lif off and TCS on 3 wheelies all day!

 

Good call. Didn't think of trying to change that setting to be stronger. If this indianpolis weather hold out to be a good day, I'll be giving this a shot.

 

I been changing the settings and here is what I found. Changing the lift is just one piece of the puzzle. If you bump up the traction control and the lift, the front end will still pull up but it comes down a whole lot smoother. So, my theory is lift has more to do with the angle.

 

Maybe with lift control off and tcs set to something petty low it'll act like a ghetto wheelie safety, letting it come up but not all the way. I'll test a few things but not yet, still need sliders/guards

 

I Wish there were a way to control the height in inches instead of 1 2 3.

 

That's what she said...

I wonder if you can with the Kit ECU? I thought I read you could adjust TCS so I'd think you could adjust LIF too.

 

There is.. Your right wrist xD

 

If not in inches, they could have used angles like 15, 30, 45,50 and so on. Just seems logical since it does have a gyro ...

 

Not so sure it has actual gyros, just the usual electronics. Accelerometers and that sort of thing. If the bike had a gyro in it, it wouldn't be fooled by things like heavy acceleration over the crest of a hill and such

 

Yamaha says its a gyro. Rc helis etc have them to control its flight.

 

i have the eur version full power
mode a
power 1
lif 1
tsc 2

small power wheelies in firts, don't have the balls to set lif off.

 

Mine is still breaking in but I guess I'm being a pussy with it, front not come up at all yet. LIF on 1, TCS on 3 usually, think I'll have to set that on 1.. Power 2.
