HAHAH... Yep, I was nervous as all f*ck!!

Just wasn't concentrating... ( I am a noob on the 1/4 mile... not really my thing...) but that run still saw a 12.7... eh, I will be back on the 1/4 mile, when I get back from O/S... (I've got PB's to now break!)

Question for all the veteran drag racers..

My 2005 Busa is stock height, stock wheel base. What tire pressure do you recommend for 1/4 runs? I'm Currently running Dunlop Quallifiers..

Thanks..

 

[Fairclough]

First time on a Busa, and i had not raced a bike since August 99'. I ran a 10.975 @129.12 i'm 277lbs

 

[dadofthree]

Haven't been to the 1/4 yet, might not.

 

[Fairclough]

I forgot some info, track elevation is 4225ft actual and 7000-11000 corrected, stock pistons and cams (didn't have time to install Brocks top end kit) and Link Pro and Ohlins were not installed either. I'm going to install the Link Pro and Ohlins before next race, i just wish i could weigh 160lbs.

 

[MsMeow]

Okay, now I feel really slow! Stock 06 with only cans - never raced before.

Best 1/4 is:

10.995 @ 134 mph


But I'm going to keep trying! Will be out there again this week.

 

[Moparict]

Stock 07 with strap and 4inch stretch 10.42 @ 136 best so far. My first pass I spun off the line and went mid 11's I think....

Been riding observed trials for last few years, but there was a gnawling in my gut for speed.  So decided road racing to dangerous and have always wanted to go drag racing.....Built bike over winter with goal of being slightly street legal.  Had on street long enough to test all added parts, but a little to loud for my taste on street.  First track day (Test n Tune):
Run 1 - 10.44 (forgot to throw switch for shifter)
Run 2 - 10.1 (shifter set to 9500)
Run 3 - 9.702 @ 144mph (shift rpm 10750 - damn these things run!!! )

This was a used bike, 5800 miles, didn't even change plugs, at least I changed the oil.

Mods:
Brocks Sidewinder & Software
Power Commander
MPS Sport Bike Air Shifter
Clutch Mod
Shinko's
Lowered 2" both ends
16 - 44 Gearing

O...and for an old guy to be safe, wheelie bars.  How else do you go nines the third out?

In ~40 passes now, I have gone as quick as 9.49 and as fast as 150.6 (may have been a tailwind)

Couldn't be more hooked.  This is an absloute blast and I highly recommend getting down to your local strip if you have not already.  I haven't had a single car pull out in front of me yet

Good job Bill Impressive MPH

 

[4 time busa owner]

First time 11.55
second time 10.83
best time 10.24
I've never done anything to the busa's I've had. They we're almost as fast stock as anything I ever built.
Even though I'm 57 I can't wait to try out this new 08 I've got.

 

[lucky-dog]

Well my first run was 10.222
2nd. was 10.000
3rd was 9.989
after about 20 runs the best is 9.721
Busa is one fast bike!!

 

[Rockin C Racing]

Well I took my new 08 out last night since it was the track grand re-opening. They had no track prep and my first pass I spun hard, then went into a wheelie, but still managed an 11.54 @ 138mph. I never got a "clean" pass on the night. Every pass had a little something that effected the run. My best on the night was a 10.70 @ 140mph. This is on an all stock 2008 busa. Best 60' on the night was a 1.96.

 

[Got-Busa?]

This was for Gen-I bikes, maybe we should start a new one for Gen-II's...

 

[jspin]

i made my own topic about my bike, but my very first pass on the my STOCK 07 was 9.97@ 142 w/ 1.82 60' weighing about 170 suited. i played the bracket game for a few runs and then made one more pass before leaving and went 9.87@ 144 w/ 1.72 60'

i'm wondering why my bike seems to trap so much higher than other stock busa's. i know i'm not real heavy, and it was about 60 degrees outside, but that doesn't seem to add up.

 

[DirtyBird02]

Got a 02 busa, with brocks street meg pipe a track map,-1 on the front sprocket,straped and lowerd,and ultra clutch mod. 1st ever pass. 9.61, 2nd 9.54 3rd 9.49. After this I had to pack it up, I should have seen 9.30's by the end of the night. I weighed 180 suited, now Im 160 suited.

 

[rtvegas]

My new personal best..

10.6 sec @ 135mph

lowered (dogbones middle notch)
full akrapovic pciii (stock wheelbase, stock gearing)
full leathers (190lbs)

My 60 ft times varied between 1.8xx and 1.9xx
RT ranged between .2xx and .3xx

Still alot of room for improvement
