Ok chaps ... Plug Chops on a Series 2 with a push button cutout

How the F**k do you do it :lol:

So im holding 3/4 throttle with my right hand
I push the ignition cutout BUTTON (not switch) - Left hand
I then go for the clutch -left hand
The engine bump starts and buggers up the Chop :roll:


:lol:

Ok so questions

1. Is it ok to do a plug chop with the bike stationary in neutral? (so I can use an extra pair of hands)

My guess is no coz its not under load and there is no forced air cooling (however Dynos dont have forced cooling either)

2. If 1 = NO then HOW do I do it without 3 hands

Thanks

So the (very) small amount of time when the throttle setting is 'wrong' doesn't screw up the results?

Ill give it all a go

Thanks chaps
