TOPIC: SECOND Time with my 09 - 1/4 Mile

SECOND Time with my 09 - 1/4 Mile 1 year, 7 months ago #1

Second time out. I have a STACK of 10.1's. For some reason, after removing the DD, my MPH trap speed fell off. However, shifting was effortless and flawless! I though the 9 would never happen now. Only hope was to get a near perfect short time.

All I can tell you is that the Shinko works well. Let me know your thoughts.

Thanks! Not bad for an old man... I've always loved the 1/4 mile. It's like "crack" to me.

DD is not going back in. To much headache. I'm waiting for another option. So, no more racing until...

Shinko 003 Stealth. 6000RPM launch. Seemed to carry the front very nicely. No fear of a wheelie.

Could be the clutch slipping a little, but most likely just the weather conditions (barometer, humidity) that dropped your trap speed. Bad air will hurt your speed a few mph. Nice runs! they look similar to my "really good" runs....but I've only 60' in the 1.6's once, I'm usually in the 1.8's and high 1.7's.

I pulled my double D out also, I did not like the way the bike shifted. Don't think its slipping at all....the clutch shows no wear at 8,000 miles and the bike went 172mph a few days ago.

Thanks again. It made my weekend last night. I brought to beers with me in the cooler in the event that I got the 9. I drank them swiftly.

Mods: Akropovic, PCV, Shinko.

Congrats on your runs and consistency! Looks like a fun day

My bike power shifts like butter with the DD, but I guess not for everybody..
