0 to 200 in 11.500

Look what you've started now Diesel "......My ET is bigger than your ET........ner ner....."....." Well my trap speed was WAAAAAY bigger than your puny 235.6547 kmh !! nyah nyah....."

If you dont break into the 10's at your next meeting, you should give bikes away mate

(For someone who has only owned his 9 for a few months, that is a great time, well done.)

Hey Gos,

we should head up to Syd for the bike night @ WSID one day! (well night!) I'd be interested in putting the bike down the strip

*promises not to hijack Diesels thread*....but I'm hearin' ya Swab's......

There is a Tri-State challenge coming up shortly, there have been threads on a couple of other forums about this, and it sounds like a good night......only problem for me is that they are generally mid-week meetings, which makes it hard for a one-night attendance......

will check out the details and bung 'em up.......I think the 12 would be reasonably quick over the quarter

*gently hands Diesel's thread back over*

Apparently you can cut a good second off your time by practising your starts for a few hours...

Also gearing is really important.... apparently drop a tooth on the front sprocket and add one to the rear for faster accelleration, is that right?

i had mine for 2 weeks when i ran an 11.2 and 2 months when i ran an 11.1...

The general rule for the gearing is that you want to cross the finish line at peak RPM so if its 13000 thats what you want to reach at the 395metre mark

Use to run a car in the pro drags about 10-15 yrs ago
best was 10.1
feels like a lifetime ago now though

Vince what was the 330 foot time and reaction time
i think you 60 foot mark was a little slow but great first time
as long as you have fun and dont drop that bike on the trailer then thats all thats important

my 60ft is 1.83

thats why you did .5 sec better than me.
its all in the 60 footer.
i want a 1.7
with that i should run 10.9 at 130mph

thanks guys, i was pretty happy with my first efforts.
lucas. agreed, my 60 footer is a bit slow.
wattie. we have the same donk, but i carry about 40 extra kilos.
java, i passed the line at 200. calder is about 3/4 of a mile all up so i hit 250 b4 i started breaking well after the finishing line,.

guess what, i did PI race track in 1.39

on my PS2

i did 1.29

bastard.

i managed a best of 10.79 on my '01 9R down here in Tassie, with 60 foot times around 1.8sec. Drag racing's all about ya reaction times and that first 60 feet!!! most of my reaction times over the years have been aroud 0.5 - 0.7sec which is pretty good. different people like to launch the bike in different ways, I found 4 - 5000rpm without riding the clutch too much works best for me. Good luck with it!!!

well done vinny....its an awesome feeling huh...
ppl forget that u havent had that much bike exp..so stuff em...

i did 11.1 as my best time, but it can depend on temp at track,road grip (heat related)....that doesnt even take in rider skill....then uve got gearing, and suspension...

i rode mine to the track, and had near standard gearing on my bike (2 up on back)...and the most important thing abt my times, was that i had a farkin ball & didnt get fined...

so do it as much as u like vinny, and enjoy it mate...

thanks nek.
dun worry mate, i'll be down there again.

good mate..dont worry abt wot ppl say abt going round corners..u can have just as much fun giving it a full wristful, smoking it up, and fishtailing...and of course..my fave..the wheelie!!

corners are fun too....but me loves the wheelie...
