Questions from a future Empulse owner

[RickXB]

Thanks for clarifying WHEEL torque. I knew that but didn't state it.

As to the wheelie photo, a Brammo employee told me in person that it was achieved by goosing the software to deliver 10% more torque early in the curve. He commented that the software COULD deliver insanely much more than that, 150% if I remember correctly.

As others have done, I increased my rear sprocket from 38 teeth to 42 teeth and the front end will lift, but it is easily controllable. Personally, I have no interest in wheelies! I did it to get more efficient motor speed in stop-and-go traffic conditions. Other benefits: I can pretty much leave the bike in 2nd gear for most of my city driving and can actually use 6th gear on the highways.

Are you using a longer chain for the 42t sprocket or there is enough adjustment with stock one?

I changed out the chain and the drive sprocket at the same time. Not sure how long the original was, but my current chain has 43 plates in it.
