I have a 03600RR and was wondering what rpm most people launch at. I know the answer is probably "as high as you can with out looping it", but is there a certain rpm where you wheelie a little but still launch hard enough to get a good 60ft? Thanks

it's all in how you ride the clutch. RPM's up high. Clutch out but only to a point. You don't just dump the clutch. If this is your street bike don't ride the clutch real hard. A stock clutch won't handle it.

 

Alright, thanks. When you say high does that mean 8k or what?
Thanks

Oh, okay. I really appreciate the help. Thanks

You could consider a two-stage rev limiter. Dyna makes an easy one to install. This has two benefits. 1. you can set the take off rpms which makes your launch more consistent and not have to do sound for where your throttle needs to be positioned. 2. by not "holding it" at a certain rpm, you can concentrate on the delay of the timer bulbs on the tree. 3. The second setting of the limiter controls the over rev which you want to stay away from as the bike will lose horsepower band and possibly a mis-shift.

 

With my 600 I would leave a about 7,000 RPM's and as I let the clucth go slowly i would roll on the throttle. as long as you don't drop the clucth the front wheel should not come up to bad. Tip keep your weight on the front of the bike that will help alot.

Hope this is of help!

 

I go around 10 grand. But my bike is lowered 4 inches in the rear and 2 in the front then I strap the front and I have a 10 inch over swing arm. That front end just stays down even on the bottle.

 

Thanks for all the help guys. I might look into the limiter you were talking about. How long will a stock clutch hold up under these types of launches? Thanks

Stock clutch = not long if you are slipping it hard. Take it easy out of the lights and it will last a long time. I have a MPS full lock up clutch. Works great but takes awhile to get use to on the street.
