So i raced for the first time this weekend on my bike...only got down to 11.5 at 126 mph with 2.0 r/t..my launches are what are killing me still gotta figure it all out exactly w/out bogging down or popping it up..what have any of you ran if you have at all? if so how do you suggest to launch..thanks guys

 

what about feathering the clutch,

 

yea i feathered the clutch and also tried dumping it..only got a couple of runs in so didnt get to experiment that much..im giong back this sunday so ill get a lot more practice and trials in to figure out whats best

 

If you can't keep it down in 1st..
Try launching in 2nd gear, it will eat the clutches faster but atleast in will help keep the front down..

 

I ran a 10.85 @ 130 mph W/.2412 r/t , 1.8451 60ft. I'm a big guy 6'3" 235lbs. I need some straps to keep the front end down and could probably loose around .2 seconds. my buddy ran it one day with at the track but the times were not being passed out and he was beating a R1 that usually runs 10.30's and 10.40's

 

yea sounds good..when you ran your 10 what did you ahve done? just exhaust? i have a full two bros so im hopin i can get into the 10s..no doubt i can but i think i need to strap the front down to..some guys with their busas were tellin me to do it...i need to get my 60 ft down to around yours as well..

 

when I ran my 10.85 I was running my slip on art pipe, -1 front sprocket, k&n, and pc111r with a two bros slip on map. I ran 6 passes that night. two was was 10.85, a 10.86, a 11.02, and the other ones I had a lot better r/t and 60ft but the tower messed up and stopped giving out the time slips so I don't know what I ran. it was at least a 10.80

 

all stock except lowered and 1 down on the front sprocket.best 2 run's were 10.25's@136 and 137.that was with a 6.68 inthe 1/8 mile,with the mod's i have now i'm running 6.40's in the 1/8.have'nt been back to a 1/4 mile track since the mod's though.

 

My bike is stock lowered and extenders, ran 10.39 et 131.20 mph my first time with this bike, with more practice maybe 10.20.

 

i ran a 10.91 the second run of the only time ive ever been there----norwalk raceway park
