Thank you! 🙂

I have a habit of doing that.. 😅 Thanks for the kudos and for watching! ✌️

Thanks for watching Izze! 🙂🙏

@@hiimchad you’re the best🤘🏽

It would be nice, but I wouldn't overlook the bike because the wheelie control isn't great. There is a lot more about this bike that makes it a blast to ride. Plus, you can always turn it off. Since this video I've made a lot of progress and usually leave it off. 🙂

I've had a similar experience. I found I wasn't relaxing my ankle and moving it far enough off the shifter for the lever and qs to move back into position for another shift. If I make sure to move my ankle that extra bit, it works

If I recall correctly, AWC can differentiate between a slide and a wheelie when lean angle is less than 20 degrees. With more than that, you’re most likely going to slide anyway. But to your point, this is avoidable with good tires and throttle control, even without rider aids! 🙂

@@hiimchad Definitely! However a huge benefit of ATC is if you set it to the right level for your tires and conditions, you can use it to "walk" the bike around a corner where ATC allows a small slip then intervene, slip then intervene, over and over until you go back upright. Aprilia has a demo video of it, and I tested it (unwittingly) on my Tuono V4 and yes, it definitely works. Of course I needed a change of boxers after that but who cares SEND IT!!! 😂😂

@@carlosm9111 Interesting! So like a bunch of little slides to the point where you tighten up your line? Like squaring off the corner?

@@hiimchad Exactly! Until you feel it you won't believe how effective it is. You can get back on throttle sooner and APRC will help you be faster than you would being a normal human LOL

Hey Satyen! Thank you, and great to hear from you! I actually produced a video about using wheelie control for the first time. It doesn't go into quite as much detail, but covers things from a higher level and demonstrates as well. Not sure if you've seen that already, but in case you haven't, here is the link: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z76igrOBvNLXnHk.html Let me know if that is along the lines of what you were looking for! I agree and tend to be more mindful with my right hand as well! I don't find wheelie control intervening often, unless I'm accelerating onto the straightaway at the track in 2nd gear after I have the bike stood up, or unless I'm trying to engage it 😅 Congrats on your 1 year! Here's wishing you many, many more happy years of Tuono ownership! 😁

Glad you enjoyed! 😁 Yes, even on the 1 setting AWC is pretty invasive. I actually purchased a Yamaha WR250X a few months ago specifically to learn how to clutch up, and it's been going well! I'm getting to the point where I can bring the front up and consistently ride it out to the limiter in 1st, but the bike doesn't make enough power for me to be able to get the front up in 2nd gear. I think I'm too big for it.. 😅 Once I get a bit more comfortable on that, I may step up to a 450+ supermoto, and once I'm comfortable there, disable AWC. 🙂 How is your wheelie game?

@@hiimchad well done and sensible learning on a bike you’re happier to drop...👀 I did a wheelie school and learnt to clutch up on a street triple in 2nd and hold the wheelie for about 30m - but with “cut out wires” on the back in case you went too high - meant you have some feel rather than just nailing it as it would just cut the engine and save you ☺️ if you can combine a “bounce” on the front, clutching up and the power increase as one it’s easier - but the Daytona was not easy for me to wheelie being positioned over the nose and with the slipper clutch😇

@@d675ose7 I don't know if I'd say happier to drop, just less sad.. 😂 That's awesome! There is actually a wheelie school about an hour and a half from me, but it's pretty expensive so I've been hesitant to sign up. If you don't mind my asking, how much was yours, and would you say it was worth it? Appreciate the advice on the bounce! I'll have to give that a shot next time I'm on the WR! Totally understand how the Daytona would be more difficult with more load on the front. I tried to clutch up a wheelie on mine a couple time when it was a street bike, but never got the wheel off the ground 🤣

Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching 🙂

Hi Terho! I did my best to communicate how the wheelie control system works and, unfortunately, it is not as sophisticated as to say setting 3 will let you get the wheel exactly 6 inches off the ground, setting 2 will let it reach 1 foot of height, and setting 1 will let you reach 2 feet. Settings 2 and 3 cut the power quite quickly, many times so quickly it doesn’t seem like the front wheel leaves the ground at all. Setting 1 will let the wheel come up a bit, but the height you can reach before the system intervenes depends on many other factors, like how quickly and far you open the throttle, how the suspension is loaded, how much momentum the front wheel has, etc. I tried my best to explain it and did not demonstrate settings 2 and 3 because nothing really happens, but perhaps I should have. I appreciate your feedback. 🙂

You’re very welcome! Glad you found it useful 🙂

I just bought a ‘21 non factory. 🤘🏾

@@TUONOv4 very nice! Congratulations! How do you like it so far?

@@hiimchad Sadly, I live in the northeast and I have yet to ride it. Especially with a recent 2’ of snow. Longest winter everrrrrrr!!

@@TUONOv4 😭 The wait will be worth it in the spring!

Whoa, you must have seen into the future or something! 😂 I did upload another video covering this last week, but after rewatching it a few times, I felt like there were some key details I left out, so I proceeded to re-record it, twice.. 😅

Thanks Sam, glad you enjoyed! Setting the AWC changes how quickly wheelie control will engage. So, if you have it set to AWC on 3 (highest setting, most invasive) it will barely let you get the front wheel off the ground unless you do something risky like a clutch drop at high RPM. 2 will give you a little more freedom, so the wheel will come up a tiny bit more and for maybe half a second longer, and 1 will let you get a few inches or maybe a foot before it intervenes. Of course you disable the system entirely, in which case you're on your own 🙃 It sounds like the way Ducati's system works is much more precise! AWC is really more of an anti-wheelie measure than actual wheelie control. That's really cool that you can set a max wheelie angle! Sounds like actual wheelie "control".

@@hiimchad how do you disable the AWC entirely?

@@NAPP3R when AWC is selected and set to 1, hold the joystick or LH switch down for a few seconds and it should set AWC to “-“ which is off. Hold the stick or switch up for a few seconds to re enable it. 👍

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed 🙂

Yes indeed! It’s nice to have, but there is no substitute for proper throttle control. If I may ask, what did you think of the video overall, Stu? 🙂

@StuOnTwo ham fist?

@@NinjaKing878 I think it’s basically the equivalent of having a “heavy foot” or overconfidence with the throttle 🙂

@@hiimchad Production quality nice, commentary nice a bit in-depth for my liking however that is just personal preference not a critique in any way.

@@NinjaKing878 ham-fisted adjective, INFORMAL clumsy; bungling. "a ham-fisted attempt"
