Sum, when activating the doors to deploy the chutes, is there a separate release for the doors before the chute or is it a simultaneous function? On the Ack Attack, I have to open the doors before the chute. If the bike leans too far, the doors automatically come open and the chute deploys. In '07, I didn't wait, and opened the doors manually as I was going down and released the chutes immediately after. Didn't want to take the chance of a door being damaged and not allowing the chute to deploy.
When I open the doors by themselves, it acts as an airbrake, causing drag, but very neutral as far as side pull. It allowed me to scrub off speed before the big hit of the parachute. Very user friendly...
