Went to the test and tune at willo on saturday. Ran 10.46 on my zx9r. Does anyone know if this is about average or can i push a little bit more for a quicker time? My bike has been lowered 3 inches and is generally stock if that helps. What are the times that fellow zx9rers have run? Thanks.

lowered 3 inches it's good for a 9.xx
but 10.46 is pretty good

I would have guessed low 10s or there abouts. I want to have a run soon. Should get a group together - would be a bit of fun.

strap the front down, then you'll get to go a bit harder without lifting the front

depends on what year your 9 is.
i ran 11.5 on mine, a 95 model.
so low 10s are pretty damn good.

Low 10's or high 9's if you're an absolute gun. Should be running about 133-136mph.....

i have a mate that had a 98 one and ran a 10.8. it was fully standard like mine, and he was confident that he could go quicker. well probably not much but not a perfect run anyway

10.47 at Benaraby first time out (like yourself)
05 ZX12R with PCIII, Micron full sytem and BMC's
No suspension mods
I only did a few runs and noted how the lowered bikes were launching.
Being slammed seems to be more important than engine mods so I was happy with the 10.47 and went home to order some dogbones
so yeah I reckon your 10.46 is pretty good but I know shit...

when tassie nats was on there was one of the brand new r6's out there and that ran a 10.4 when i was watching it. i recon it was a demmo as he had the numberplate taped up as well as the id plate on the frame at the front. very fast little 600 though
