Well I havent finished my complete setup for the 09 season with the use of the crossover delay box and linear accuator. I was only using the crossover delay to see if it was accurate. cables didnt come in till today for the throttle control.
The weather was nice here Friday in the 70's by the afternoon. I scramble all day long to get the bike ready. Changed the earl.. double checked all the hardware.. poured some seafoam in the tank from the crappy gas over the winter and took it out for a top speed run to make sure the skinnier front tire 100/90/18 didnt act wierd on the top end. She did get a little squirelly around 145 when letting out of the gas but I figured I would only see 100 in the 1/8 mile.. No biggy she always gets squirelly on the top end..
The rear tire Shinko Tourmaster was about 85% worn and I didnt want to install the new one till everything was good.... So...
The VMAX was about the same last year as performance goes.. MPH is still down 4-5 mph in the 1/8 which is about 15-20HP I dont know why. its smooth doesnt smoke just doesnt pull hard... overall the track was so so nothing great but not a bananna peel either. 60fts stayed in the low 1.60's if I tried any harder it would break loose.. 6500 RPM clutch sliding launches..
Best pass of the first day out of the 09 season...
RT = .024
60FT = 1.6191
330FT = 4.5969
1/8 ET= 7.1412
1/8 MPH= 96.34 <<< Sucks should be 101 this time of the year..
Any ideas why the MPH is 4-5 mph lower?? She runs smooth all through the RPM till shift point of 9200:ummm:
