im going to be drag racing my 929 for the first time at edgewater this weekend just wondering if anyone else has just looking for some tips on launching it i know the first gear in these is a little choppy any advice would be appreciated if not ill just wing it lol

 

good luck and hope u get good times. i agree w/ your comments about first gear. tough call. 2nd and 3rd on my 929 is where i feel the most G-Forces. are u planning on skipping any gears (i.e. 1st then 3rd, 4th, etc...)?

 

IDK ive kinda noticed in first if you get the rpms up a little and feather it out its not as choppy so im gonna give that a try then maybe try skipping a gear lol idk we will see just messing around going to hand it to my friends gsxr and rep the hondas lol

 

Best of Luck to ya, Keep us posted[8D]

 

well no racing this weekend took a nice chunk out of my left middle finger had to get it stitched up so no grabbin the clutch! damn

 

launch at about 3-6,000 rpms in first and burn that clutch out to keep the front down and shift at redline also make sure you watch your light and dont worry about what the other guy is doing.

i have a lowering strap for the front of a bike its a schnitz universal that will help keep the front down.. i will sell it for 15.00 shipped to you. i dont need it since the stretch, there is nothing lifting the front now!

 

bindelsf2 how much horse power is your motorcycle making?

 

124 without spray and i am running a 45 shot and havent dynoed it with the spray but i am going to bore it .30 over, put some flatside carbs on it and do some other engine stuff next month then i am going to dyno it with spray. so i will post up the dyno sheet after that.

(beginning of summer they dynoed it at 109 right after the swapbut it was all screwed up on tuning,clutch and shift fork so it went back in and now its at 124hp)

 

you could go with a GP shift pattern!

1 up and 5 down.

its easier to push down to shift then to click up~

just my opinion

 

well i babied it the whole night my fastes run was a 12.4 117mph im gonna run again tomorrow afternoon and im going to take bindels advice it was just my first time running since my bad accident a few years ago so.... i took it a little easy
