new 1/4 mile time

sonicsbomb · 05-09-2005, 9:31 AM

First time out just on motor only

9.65 at 140 mph
1/8th mile were 6.1 at 116 mph

backed it up with (3) 9.701 runs at 139mph

will spray next time

SilverBullet · 05-09-2005, 10:37 AM

Thats weird. I ran a 9.56, 9.59, 9.61 @ 139 with a 6.14-6.17 1/8th on motor. I'll be going to the local 1/4 track thursday night, so I'll post my times friday for ya.

Hopefully I can run those 50's on motor and get some 20's on spray if not better.

Thanks for posting some motor only times, gives me a better idea of what I should be running on spray.

Altitude difference?

I was geared just a little too much, bike was just shifting into 6th gear when I was almost crossing the finish line, my guess was wasting a tenth on that shift.

1 down up front and two up in the rear, may change my rear down one tooth.

I was getting consistant 1.54 60' times

SilverBullet · 05-09-2005, 11:02 AM

I was thinking altitude also. Thats what I have +1f, -1rear. You're still using the #36 nozzle right? And also using the nitro controller?? Thats what my 60' times were when I ran those numbers. Haven't been running that low this year, ranging from 1.57-1.61. I need to put a fresh tire on probably, but I think I will wait till Friday or next week. I have 6 left in the garage, so that will take me down to 5, but I need one on the Busa also.

Also, the bike wouldn't shift at all my last run, and when I pulled over on the return lane, the bike would shut off when I tried to button shift it, since I run the auto now. Hopefully its just a small hole in the line before the gauge or something, because the gauge was showing 140 psi still. I'll find out today or tomorrow hopefully.

I had problems shifting too, I put on new rear sets and hate them, my airshifter wouldn`t shift into second

I wasn`t using NOS at all, just motor for once. I believe it will do 9.5`s maybe 9.4`s on motor for sure. I think when I spray it will be like 8.90`s

and gearing I`ll try now will be -1 up front and +1 in the rear, that way I stay in 5th on motor.

Hey, how about that pic of your mounting point of the airshifter. I'm on my second hole now and I really don't want to make a 3rd hole in the frame. Looks like the bolt is moving some now when I hit the button. I checked the nut against the frame and thats still tight from the lock tight I used. I saw another 54 in the shop that had a fabricated piece of steel or iron, and it used two screws or bolts underneath the frame with the bolt in the frame ofcourse. The bracket just held the bolt in place so it wouldn't move any.

I`ll try to send you a pic later today, I might need your email again. Mine has not moved or elongated itself yet

How do you all get such low 60ft times my best times ar 10.76, .5367, 131.3634, 1.7661, 7.0491. Mods include -1 up front, 520 kit, full yosh, pcIIIr, w/custom map, shinko tire,front strapped & w/stock wheel base. What tire pressures do you use? launch rpm? & I also have an adjustable shift light what should I set that at thanks for your help I would like to get at least faster than 10.50's but I know I'm doing something wrong. I also am going to test and tune every friday at 75/80 dragway in monrovia md thanks again and sorry for the long post. also I weigh about 240 with full leathers

JakeT · 05-10-2005, 3:51 AM

Did you guys read the new CYCLE WORLD mag.? They tested new 600's and some drag racer did 9.93s/135.05mph with stock r6, only modifications where lowering links, tie downs and -1 front sprocket.

quite amazing..

My gearing is 1 down up front +2 in the rear. I launch at 8k but the bike is like 9 inches longer than stock. Bone stock bike all I could get out of it was a 10.13 @ 133 mph

Yes that was Rikki Gadsen

VA929RR · 05-10-2005, 12:05 PM

And he was on the Kawa 636 not the R6...

Heavy-Dee · 05-10-2005, 12:27 PM

Didn't Kawi drop him?

yes he rides for Broch now

SilverBullet · 05-10-2005, 2:19 PM

Yep, bye bye Kawi, or can you say, bye bye Ricky. He went down the other weekend also, bike threw his ass off coming down from a wheelie mid track with the front tire cocked a little. lmao

-1F, +1R, strapped, 8-1/2 inches extended, lowered, shaved, port/polished, auto shift, launch at 4,300 roughly, ride the clutch a little and then WOT to the finish.

I found my 9.61 pass ticket yesterday....1.57 60', 6.20 @ 116 1/8th, 9.61 @ 141 for that pass. That was in Rockingham last year, my 3rd and slowest motor only run of the day. Best was a 9.56 motor only. The 4th run I spun leaving the line, sprayed as soon as it grabbed, ran a 9.53 and spit a shim. Then I rode the Busa the rest of the weekend. Motor only ran a 5.99 1/8th and 9.31 1/4.

YellowRR · 05-10-2005, 3:02 PM

From reading the posts is there some animosity against Rikki or it just me being crazy? I think he is an accomplished drag racer and have heard great things about him. Is this only a part of the story? I don't know the guy but seems to be cool?

YellRR

SilverBullet · 05-10-2005, 3:18 PM

Yeah, he is an accomplished rider, but hasn't done much over the last year though. I've never seen him place in any of the events I was at last year. I beat his nephew last year, he was riding the ZX-9.

So no; no animosity, just think he needs to get in touch with whatever he will be riding this year and continue with what he has accomplished already. I would love to race against him, in a bracket format, since that is what true racing is all about. I wouldn't turn down some heads up runs either! Would probably have to be the Busa though...I think he's running the big bikes this year though, so that wouldn't be much of a race either.
