Guys please help me with this
I just bought a 2013 ZX-14R and have 500 miles on it. I put it in full power mode and ktrc mode 2. I romped down full throttle from about a 10mph roll and I thought I heard the timing retard kick it just a hair and I did not power-shift into 2nd but I shifted with lightning speed and that beast pulled a 45 degree wheelie on me in a split second and by the grace of God I released the throttle just in time. I thought that KTRC mode 2 would not let wheelies like that happen. I'm a very light rider. I weight 125 pounds so maybe that has something to do with it. Could the traction/wheelie control be malfunctioning? Oh by the way, the last motorcycle I had was an H1 Kawasaki 500 Mach III back in 1973. So you can imagine what kind of shock I just experienced. Please any feedback will be greatly appreciated..

I ride in F-2 all the time and my front wheel has never been more than an inch off the road before the KTRC responds. I have also spun the rear tire on a sharp turn by giving it the gas too much too early and before I could let off the gas the KTRC had responded. The sensors "sense" 200 times a second so the response is almost instantaneous. Yours is definitely not working properly in F-2.
Put your mode in L-3 and find a gravel road or driveway. Go very slow and grab a bunch of throttle. If the back tire spins more than just a tiny tiny bit your system isnt working right.

I agree with street racer, when I have mine on 2, I absolutely cannot get the front to come up trac control kicks right in and IT bogs down, so sounds like its not workin right to me.

Should not wheelie in #2 - power just falls off, feels like you've hit the rev limiter.
