12.9 will be too lean with ram air coming in....Nice job on the 188mph... But with those mods and a 15mph tailwind... you should have gone WAY faster...
When I was 225 lbs (6'2") I took my ZX12R to 195mph on my Garmin Etrex GPS. Only mods were Akrapovic pipe, pc3, 44 rear, mirrors removed, remap. My buddy rode it 10 min earlier and he got 199mph on GPS with my bike (he's 150 pounds).... then he also did 199mph on gps with HIS zx12r which was modified identical to mine.
You should at least be able to hit 193mph with your size and mods... throw it on a dyno and see where your A/F ratio is at. You want your A/F at around 12.9:1 up top.... I'm willing to bet that if you get it tuned correctly.... you'll break 190mph with EASE!!!
Good luck brother!

GPS speed accuracybut keep in mind a GPS is no where near accurate for speeds unless your doing it for many many miles and even then it would only be plus or minus 20mph.
I don't think anyone bothered to correct him because it was so far off. This isn't the 1980's, GPS is very accurate...Good testing, idea was right, but keep in mind a GPS is no where near accurate for speeds unless your doing it for many many miles and even then it would only be plus or minus 20mph. Only way to get true speed is a calibrated speedo for that bike. You can take your bike to the state patrol and they can tell you how far your speedo is off. Apply that precentage to your displayed speed and you have an idea of your real speed.
