it seems that ever since I chnged from rollers to sliders my frnt wheel seems to lift off the ground more on acceration even at a moving acceration . Is it me or is it somthing i should be concerned about or is it normal?

Do you sit near the rear of the seat? Moving your weight towards the rear like that can also facilitate a wheelie.

Most modifications require a "settling in" period. It should only get better with time.[email protected] wrote:thanks all nice to know that everything is normal its just strange that I feel

Thanks for the reassurance. That's very good to hear. My new DP variator, spring and sliders are just a day old so apparently still have a ways to go before being settled in a reaching peak performance. Phew... they sure aren't there now.Lostmycage wrote:Most modifications require a "settling in" period. It should only get better with time.
