Everyone is completely different.....
Anywhere between 10's to 13's.....every rider is different.

Expect low 12's or high 11's at first. The drag strip is a very different animal than the street, so don't be surprised if you aren't as fast as you think at first.

Suspension should be a nice medium between soft and hard. Too soft and your weight balance will shift and you'll wheelie more often. Too hard and you might take too much weight off the rear when shifting and you may have traction or hopping issues.

Go there, see how you're running and adjust accordingly.

I've never ran my F4i, as I have a ZX-10R for drag racing, so I can't comment on the times. But there's where most 600's will be for newer riders.
