Here's a better pic, the bike in the background is a harley for size comparison. Looks like a dragster chassis with a Viper engine crammed into it.

To call that rediculous or ludicrouse is still no comprehension of how out of this planet that is. The amount of tourque those engines have would never be able to be kept in control the wheels would continuosly lose traction into a wild spin my brother V rod does all the time.

A late model Sports bike these days weighs about 170 kg with a up to 190 hp. more power than wight they just raise the front wheel but I do not believe the bikes above would and if it did you would be in trouble as when th wheel comes back down the frame and forks could handle the impact.

These bikes above are show bikes and are amazing at that they are normally operational to ride on and off the trailor as the turning circle on them would be like a double bogie semi.

On the other hand a late model sports bike is another issue all together :P:(

Keeping the front wheel on the ground wouldn't be the biggest problem with any of these but stopping the torque-reaction throwing you into oncoming traffic or simply body-slamming you into the bitumen definitely would be!!

    • Have you flushed the initial fluid yet? It should look like a rainbow unicorn shat glitter into it. 2nd or 3rd fluid change is when you party.
    • all brand new unit from Tomei, fluid, bearings, etc. Tomei said they call it a 1.5 lsd because its 100 percent lock up under acceleration and 50 percent under deacceleration.  as I mentioned I used their fluid, install and their break-in procedure, (alot of figure 8's) but even when driving straight, or even slowly backing out of garage for first time, (at 2 mph) then driving to and from figure 8 parking lot, each tire in the rear would sporadically grab, skip, bounce, shutter and skip, shutter back a force I could feel causing clutch to slip then grab, at any speed. shaking entire car. I removed unit, since I put stock back in and all is fine, via process of elimination, its something with the lsd unit itself. I wasn't going to beat up the entire car more or change anything else for no reason as I had a feeling something in the lsd itself was wrong as everything was fine before this alone was installed and I rechecked over everything else after first time backing out I suspected an issue. I'll probably sadly already need new tires now just from trying to drive it 5 miles and performing the figure 8 break in. but if someone has any ideas I'm all ears 
    • Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.
