what's next?

[joncook06]

I just did my first drag race as alot of you know. I was wondering if I should change my front sprocket down a tooth or so. I want to do the front because it's hidden, but will it make the bike too punchy. Or should I not worry about that for now and just focus on my launches?

Go for it run like the devil

60Ft was 2.0037 with 1/4 time of 10.82 @135.26mph best 60ft was 1.8953. It was my first time ever drag racing a bike.

you still have a lot more in it stock you can make up a lot of time on your 60ft alone. I would work on that before changing things. then start the upgrades.

that's kinda what I was thinking, thanks for the advice.

Just a little more practice is all. You should be shooting for 1.7's at stock height and 1.5's slammed down (STOCK wheelbase and NO wheelie bar)...

thanks for those numbers " Got-Busa"

droping one tooth in the front is a good thing for more than just the luanch,it will take a lot of stress off you out put shaft, and yes your bike will feel crisper.

 

[joncook06]

How much time should i lose when i go down one in the front?

 

[Got-Busa?]

I'd get more practice before you drop a tooth on the front. It changes the way the bike launches since you now need to leave harder with the lower gearing. Some people drop there ET and some don't so be careful if you've been racing with the stock gearing for a long time. It will surprise you the difference....
