S%&ty part is my 3rd pass ever on a lowered only ZX10 was a 9.89.
Still got love for the Honda though. Little of this [sm=nxsmile.gif] and I should be there.

RE: typical 954 problems??
look if the flapper and htev mods have been done.... i done these mods to mine, and custom tuned it too with a PC3, but it seems to stutter a bit
inbetween 1200rpm to 2000rpm.... have been told it could be the servo giving out wrong readings!??!
dunno if this in common.. but heck if anyone got any solutions send them my way!!!!

RE: typical 954 problems??
I am sure that my problem is the exception rather than the rule but at 15,000 miles a piece of my shift drum broke off and the broken piece of metal circulated through the entire transmission, rendering it pretty much useless. Had to get an entire new transmission (not in warranty). The dealer wanted $2,000.00, most of it in labor since the 954 does not have a cassette style transmission and the entire motor & swingarm have to be removed before you can crack the case of the transmission. Thank God I knew a bike mechanic who did the entire job for $1,100.00, but it's still food for thought. Bike was ridden pretty normal beforehand with NO wheelies, NO stoppies, and NO racing.Other than the tranny disaster, the 954 has been rock solid and continues to be that way with the new tranny.I still feel the Hondas are OVERALL the best literbikes out there. Happy hunting!

Yea, your situation was just plain bad luck. Don't take much of chunk of metal to make a tranny go[sm=smiley28.gif].
My bike started life as a track bike (yayyyy), spent about 5000 miles on the rear wheel, now gets brutely raped 1/4 mile at a time and still goes into second pretty smooth. [sm=partyparty.gif]
In 2 years of working at a Honda dealer I think I saw three 929 / 54 trannys need the gears back cut. Not a bad track record though.
