Timing retard on 2014 R3R?

Anthony said:

Was wondering if Triumph is still doing the timing retard in 1-3rd gear? I keep seeing people talking about pulling the front tire off the ground in 2nd gear with very little effort. The bike has some serious pull, but mine has never even thought about lifting like that. I have gone WOT many times and I don't seem to be getting the same response as the rest of you.

I am a big guy (6ft, 280lbs), but not so large that it should hold her back.

Agreed - unloading the front suspension to where the wheel is light is not actually a wheelie.
One should be able to see your front axle.
