NOSing a ZX12R

[chuffed]

Yeah, froggy was there but i didnt see a red 12 out there??

So what happens when you hit the rev. limiter? does/would it lean out or does it stop spraying at the same time? And what sort of switching are you using to activate it?

[rednose12]

yeah i was at the bar, ive got my shift light set at 10gs, so no dramas with hittin rev limiter.
btw how many 12's were there last night?

[chuffed]

The two mearns 12's, mine, frogs and at least one other black one that i noticed.
And the fastest thing there was a non-turbo or nitrous 12

Made those turbo and nitrous Hirebuses look more like school buses

[rednose12]

yeah, 220hp on motor is not too bad 4 a 12. i think most 12s made the busas look slow.

I think you mean this one ? It just goes tro show the rider is the STILL the most important part. He was doing consistent 9's when it was bog stock (from Yeppoon).

My efforts (just waiting for Shifty to bag me for the dragstrip mono pic now )


My mate took some wicked pics Dave, when he gives me the disc I am sure there will be one of you on their too.
One for Goz too. I had a run with this guy, he dialed in at 11.5 to my 10.3 but beat me by .133 at the finish. Terminal speed was 167 for the Rickman and 220+ for he 12.
Lost it due to PISS POOR reaction time, but I am learning.... slammed next time methinks. *goes looking for bones*

[chuffed]

Yeah, that was him top qualified with a 9.1
My last pass was against the suzuki in the background of that first shot of the rickman, he ran a 9.84 on a 9.80 to my 9.75 on a 9.75 and i cut a slightly better light too, geez it was close. That was a great run.

Wow, they are some quick times!
Does strapping & lowering make much of a difference to your bikes?
I lowered & strapped my bike once but didn't like the way it rode on the strip and it made me slower!

some great photos in there - nice Rickman !! Froggie - mate there is life in those old Zeddies yet mate !! I bet he is still telling his mates about the night "...I blew this ZX12R away on me 900 !! ...."

...i have the muzzy 40 shot on mine, works well, very basic setup, anyone could do it, i just switch maps on mine between work and play, the only thing ive noticed so far is the strain on the standard clutch....

switching maps - I guess thats through the PCIII ?? This is the type of system I want to fit on the MFP12.....

[rednose12]

yeah gos, if i get slack i keep the nos map in, but fuel econ is up the shit, like 140 out of a tank. i think its only about 12 - 1300 for the kit, u could install yourself, then theres the dyno work, prolly 1500 bucks all up

[Gosling1]

cheers RN, thanks for the tips.

I wonder where I can squeeze a couple of those really skinny bottles on the 12 .... it *has* to be a discrete fitting....

[rednose12]

with the muzzy kit u can fit 2 1 pound bottles under the rear seat

[Jonno]

Your nucking futts Froggie

But I like it

Yeah I have seen one 2lb? bottle under the rear/front seat and even one mounted in front of the rear wheel on an extended swingarm, got a pic of the two side by side??

The ecu/pc3 puter was mounted underneath the rear seat onto the Dino hinge, the tool tray was completely removed and the top of the bottle was all that could be seen once the seat was up.

Wet sprays the go IMO.

[frog]

Ordered some lowering links and front tie downs today
Got heap of pics too Dave, what numbers were you and your mates ??

[rednose12]

another bottle goes on the other side

[chuffed]

That top ones me frog the bottom ones the gnome smuggler. Got any more its always interesting to see what you look like and i can never get anyone to take any photos. The other two guys with me were clarkey on the blue 14 that took out the mod bike class his numbers 48xx and brendon on the little black suzuki 3689 i think.

I played around with my other 12 when i got home and found i had the 02 sensor and the throttle position sensor plugs back to frount and the 02 sensor that i got from the wreckers to replace the one i broke worked but not properly, swap it for the one off the bike thats going and bingo, no miss. Though it does still run a bit rich, didnt you once take the kleen-air off your bike? did that make it run abit richer?

I've got a set of lowering links for a 12 that ronnie stayt made if your interested froggy, there about an inch and half lower.
