1000.......9.830

if you gear up then your top speed will be greater, i would go up 2 in the back and you'll have better take off and in the end a better time. because it shouldn't be red lining in 6th when you hit the quarter..

Be careful, it's a lot of bike! Have fun at the track, and good luck on 9's! I achieved that late last season, it's a good feeling
