tell us how you launch, what rpm, is your head and chest leaning over the tank?
Do you have a strap on the front of the bike? Stock tire, stock pressure?


Is that back gear +1 or +2? 3?


Have you lowered the rear of the bike??

At what point are you at FULL throttle? I bet that you are not hitting the throttle stop fast enough or leaving the clutch engaged too long.

1.8 is good for a 300 rider, your bike doesn't have the torque to get up and go much quicker than that unless you are leaving on the spray.

How long have you been DragRacing?...Get an extended arm, make it a 60"...

Go to Jason Millers test/tune seminars

Don't take this the wrong way.
300# and 750's don't go together.
Small bikes don't have the torgue to pull you if you don't slip the clutch ALOT. try 6-7k and slip the clutch more.
crotchrocket is right an arm will help. You may want to try a bolt on
then if you dont like it you can go back and sell the blocks of most of your money.
good luck

do you think it may be spinning a little off the line? it's certainly possible, even with a bar and good tire.

stock clutch springs??

granted, you're a big guy with a lot of mass to get moving but I'm curious....

anyone else think that a -1T and +5T is just a little too much? I mean, we're launching at 7-9k on an arm AND trying to use nitrous while still in 1st.

I might have stopped at -1 and +2 or +3. Thoughts???

you need to have some one video tape you. and then watch the video on slo mo! that will help you out! or have a buddy, go to the track with you! and help out with your setup and launch!
practice will make very good...

he is flying for lower 300 lbs you gotta go to 1000 or 1300.that's good times for a rider your size on 759.try not to deep stage on the light give yourself a little room to roll and might see 60ft's drop still slip the clutch though and use gas a little later.lot of your 60ft's being high has to do with using the gas early and getting out of it not to loop the bike.

the guys you go off to have more power and less weight.never be upset what you have is what you have but you probably run guys out your class because your bike is fast but weight vs power i bet they find you hard to bet.If i can help you any call Daniel 503-572-2396 I'm here 24/7.
