Hello guys,
I have one question.
Whenever I try to launch from stand still, my V4 starts to shake, its like rear end is jumping. (no launch control activated)
Is there any option to turn off all electronic so I can have fast starts for 402m race.
Also, if anyone have similiar problem, please let me know.

What traction control/wheelie control settings have you got?
 
Race mode.
Im using RACE mode, but everything turned off, traction, wheelie, all off.
What traction control/wheelie control settings have you got?
Race mode, everything off, but when I try street mode, traction 1, wheelie 1, Im having same problems.
Is it possible to make setup wich dont make that jumping/shaking on launch.
Its interesting that when I launch it from idle rpm, there is no problem, only when I'm launching it with higher rpm.
Its like clutch is sliping and grabing.

Could be the clutch. I rode a demo V4S for fun at a dealership once that had a lot of shaking and shuddering on takeoff. Turns out, due to the dry-sump nature of the bike, there's a nozzle that squirts oil onto the clutch instead of just having the clutch in an oil bath like most bikes. That nozzle can actually be adjusted, and when the clutch is shaking and shuddering a lot like that on takeoff, it's possible that nozzle is not delivering enough oil to the clutch. Is the issue worse when the bike is cold? If it is the worst when the bike is cold and gets better as it warms up, I believe that nozzle is the culprit. In the meantime, you should avoid "hard" launches.
 
I have done a lot of testing and dry clutch plates actually produce more consistent friction than wet

Dry is dry

Wet? How wet?

Loose the anti chatter ring at the bottom of the stack and give it a go : )

Its even worse when bike gets warm. First launch allways goes great,
