Title: VIDEO: Fk6 with Jardine- launch, short wheelie, 0-80mph
Post by: mhuffman on July 12, 2009, 06:27:21 PM
No one has posted good videos of the Jardine at full throttle, so i got a quick one. Launch at about 5k rpms. My video camera sound quality isn't the best. I have a silencer but it's not installed. The bike is quiet enough for me to start at 5am for my morning commute without disturbing everyone too much.

I think the lack of proper riding gear is the least of his worries  :cookoo:

Pretty good wheelie for just a 42 tooth rear sprocket! I'm with everyone else as far as gear, get some!

Also, be careful with aluminum sprockets. Unlike steel which can last tens of thousands of miles, aluminum will wear real quick. Just keep an eye on it.

Also, ill keep an eye on the sprocket. I have the factory one as backup.
