Default Just wondering where I stand in 1/8th mile

I have been running consistent 7.4's on my 2008 1000rr at 109 mph..in the 1/8th.. I cannot seem to get it any lower.. I dont really have any mods(look in my sig) I get to about 2/3 the way down the track and the front wheel comes up...

Basically want to see how everyone else is doing on the 1/8th...

how much you weigh? 2nd time out on the f4i i got 7.70's out of mine with me being 200 lbs plus the added weight of the cage. I got a heavier aftermarket subframe too. My 60 ft times are low 1.90's and 330 is 5.16


on a sidenote my old 1994 f2 stripped of all its plastics ran 7.80's when i was weighing in at 185 lbs.

well with out gear i weigh 203 lbs. that weekend with me on the bike combined weight was 635 lbs. it was hard for me to keep the front down with the -1 front sprocket. plus it was my first time at the track and only have been riding for a year.

here is the video of that weekend.

i knew my gearing was hurting my times. I got faster 60 fts and slower 330's than ya LOL and i only run 95 mph. Im ringing 3rd when i cross the line. I might try short shifting into 4th I launch around 5k rpm too.

yeah im launching around 9k or so going across the line maxed out 4th on the 11.26 run it touched rev. limit right as i crossed the line. i know if i go back to stock gearing or go +1 on the front i will be alot faster. im thinking 10.9 atleast.

anytime i would full throttle first or second. the front would come up.
