Not yet. On the H2 it was fun. Be sure to wear leathers and not textile... :lol:

its not just for full throttle shifts. It works any time your accelerating

BIG +1 on the quick shifter. It works great for just everyday riding around town. Down shifting too!

Launch control I was brave enough to look it up in the manual to see how to set it.... Now I'll give it a try in a few days. Need this damn weather to get better.

I just hit 292 miles. After I do an oil change I think I'm going to give it a try.

interesting that there is no wheelie control adjustment but the launch control has to use some type of wheelie control.

I wonder if the wheelie control is always active or only turned on when launch control is activated

I wonder if the restrictions on the use of launch control can be adjusted with a flash (hint!)?

The manual says out can only be used with in a certain temperature range and it has to wait a certain amount of time between uses.

KTRC manages wheelies, independent of KLCM. Though if Kawi's programmres were smart they would have it set so that when KLCM is active, so is KTRC at max setting. Not sure about that.
