What do you think I have been trying to tell you? Remember the bigger the bike the less it is affected. Although not a direct ratio. So the 12 is effected slightly less.

All I can say is the lower the elevation here in the west, the hotter it is. I just bought an ICON Vent jacket just to help with the heat. Best place to be is up in the mountains where it is cool.

the 12 did ok at elevation, but suffice it to say i couldnt power wheelie at 9000ft. it will still do so (barely) at around 5000ft.

And 5000 and above is where I ride. Now you see what I am sniveling about. The good thing is the 10 does wheelie easier, but not in 2nd.

so really you have no beef with the 10... it ISNT underpowered... you just live at a stupidy high elevation... hardly the bike's fault....
ha!

I thought I had made myself quite clear that now that the bike was broken in I was very happy with it.. I just wish it would wheelie in second. I want to loft the wheel out of 100mph turns.

Are you telling me that it will wheelie in second at 100? Not indicated because your speedo would be wrong if you didn't have correction (16 tooth).
