Full Throttle = faster acceleration?
Full Throttle = faster acceleration?
Generally I will open up my throttle in a steady way, as the bike picks up speed I open it a bit more believing that that is the best way to accelerate fastest.
A friend argues the complete opposite. They contend that opening the throttle to its max will result in best acceleration, even in a carb’d bike.
But then he made an argument that I found hard to argue with.
On a modern bike with fuel injection theoretically you can not flood an engine with fuel, the fuel management system will only take what the bike will use.
I dont know, maybe it’s a feel thing but I have always seemed to get better acceleration by steadily opening the throttle.
I’m sure there a few racers or mechanics here here who will be able to settle this.
