Looks good. For the tire try the new ultra soft Shinko 003. Your coming along pretty good from where you started.

Ah yes, the 5's are just around the corner, I bet you get there the next time you hit the track!

You foot shifting???And good with the soft Shinko...

 

[BusaReds]

Yooooo............that boost is pullin after the launch. after a 1.55 60 and still run down a 6.02.....Thats pull........
Now with that arm on there, get that 60 down to the 1.40's low and you'll be the "####"

 

[Cecil_Stringer]

Thanks all.

Yes, foot shifting.
Yes, Ultra soft 003 to be acquired very soon.
Yes, I am banging on that 5 second door.

I started the night with a 6.3 run... then cut a 10th off every pass until I got to 6.0.
Then I stayed there for the next 6 - 8 runs... varying between 6.02 and 6.07.
My 60's started higher as well... the high 1.6's.
Towards the end of the night I was getting a little more consistant.
1.5's for the 60'
6.0 for the E/T
123 - 124mph

The next night's best run through the 1/4 mile was:

R/T = .111 (zero base)
60' = 1.59
1/8 = 5.99 @ 126mph
E/T = 9.16
MPH = 150

However, we were having significant traction issues... ended up dropping tire pressure to 8.5... it still hazed, but also wasted the clutch.

With a sticky tire, a decent track and a clutch, no doubt the bike has the potential to hit mid 8's.

Spectators can hear it hazing the tire through 5th through the trap.

Still quite the novice... but getting better.
