Stoner Video,,what's he doing??

At about the 2:40 mark, going down the straight, he's flicking his left fingers around. Looks strange, just shaking off the tingles???

Here's vid link: Onboard Lap With Casey Stoner At Sepang 2012 - YouTube

 

I'm sorry to say I've never had the opportunity to ride one of those things but I'm guessing he's adjusting the clutch.

 

actuating the clutch as he downshifts

 

Naw, not that, watch while listening, he's already shifted then the fingers start, mmm. He may very well be adjusting. On another note, at the very beginning he flicks the red button on the left, TC button I presume.

 

right, adjusting something, but that red button on the left i think is the pit lane engine limiter

 

It appears that he's adjusting the amount of front brake lever travel with the remote brake lever adjuster.

 

You can see him doing the same thing just before he filps the limiter switch near the begining of the video. Defintely looks like he's twisting a knob of some sort. I think Stoshmonster is right.

 

Yep,that's the stuff Chickunfut. :thumbsup:

I've currently got one mocked up on my '03.

 

Stosh your bike is sooooooo fruity :biggrin: what happen to the clock.......hehehe The clock remember Simon?

"Custom designed for the stoshmonster... Priceless

 

As usual, Stosh allways has another cool toy up his sleeve!!!!!!!

 

LOL. Thanks my friend. :thumb:


Apparently my toys aren't cool enough for the guys over there at VFR Discussion though.

I got an honorable mention on page 2 of the "POSSIBLY THE UGLIEST VFR EVER" thread in the Body and Paint forum.

Gotta say I'm actually kinda honored that those guys think my bike is sick enough that they feel the need to talk $hit about it. :whoo:
Kinda cool when you think about it really.

Showed that thread to my buddy Pez,we both had a coupla good laughs while reading it.
Prolly the best quote of the entire thread was by forum member Dutchy "I am NOT posting that picture here.................... :tongue:"

My stomach was hurting and I damn near fell out of my chair from laughing so hard when I read that. :lol:


BTW - Also read your post in that thread Metallican. :rockon:

 

Your ride is loud (visually) and obnoxious, but I don't know that I'd call her ugly. That and I've seen LOTS of pics and know how much time effort and $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ you've put into her. That is by far one of the sickest VFR's I've ever seen, besides, see and be seen is what it's all about eh!!
