quote: Nope, not at all the speed at JD9 were all bang on and correct, if you look back and cross reference bikes with their previous performances, or even the performances on the day before they are all correct. What I'm highlighting is the conditions on the day in question... they were exceptional and those that had the balls to ride them did some excellent speeds - that will be very hard to repeat.
However for the benefit of credibility you have to mention the conditions.
If we'd have had some Americans coming on to 200mph.org last year, reeling of 205mph speeds for a Class Two 12r or Busa we'd have raised the bullshit flag...
JD9 was a exceptional day, I only wish I had run.
Yeh I did mention it was windy.
And I could see, how it might look from other peoples point of view.
Name of the game is top speed, theres no denying that.
Unless everyone runs under FIM two way rules, and all runs are done under the exact same conditions, Personal speed records are just that, Personal.
Doesn't mean jack in the world record or LSR scheme of things.
But hey..when mine & your Big Bastard's are built, there'll be some new 12r N/A speed records set in the club.

Saw a posting on zx12r.org about Bears V stacks.. before the stacks 197mph after the stacks 201 and 202 mph.. I will find post and give more input.. so with ram air the stacks will be worth at least 3mph.. especially if they are shorter than the bear stacks..

his picture proves what I was saying.. the longer the stack the more bottom end, the shorter the stack the more top end...

Hey... maybe that's how the '00 ZX-12R was restricted after Rickey ran his times....

I don't know if your tying to be funny or factual. The hosepower calculator says that there is a 17 horsepower discrepancy between times.
Nikko G pack claims that the ignition map is retarded in 2nd and 3rd gears from 1500 to 9200rpm. Not only ignition but also the fuel map.
If Kawi from the factory put in inferior v stacks to restrict the ram air. Mathematically it is possible but unlikely. I only believe the 12r was "detuned from a higher tuning spec" because of the letter I received from Keith Parnell. Bottom line the 12r has a lot of potential.

The ignition, fuelling, & TPS are all interconnected in the setup.
