tire choices and pressure
Here we go again. Bikes doesnt seem to be spinning but could i possibly gain anything from a race take off or a drag tire. Also what kinda air pressure do yall run and tire size up front. I wanna tweak this thing to the max befor i go try a 1/4. More air up front will make contact patch smaller correct making it eaiser to roll (less drag) also what about removal of front brake rotor any thoughts on that

I run a stk tire up front with spec. air press. Out back i run the Shinko, great street tire if ya might want to street race too. But, excellent for tha track @ about 20lbs of press. I had about 200hp, and the shinko never gave me any problems. All the others at my home track switched after I busted some asses with the Shinko. One note, you do need to heat it up good before you make a pass.
The front rotor thing I also done. Great for the show aspect, but not good functionally. You'll really go through some brake pads quick with just one rotor up front, and they seem to fade really quick at tha track. If your not trying to show off some chrome wheels, I wouldn't do it.

nope, i wouldn't (and didn't) do it. Everyone seems to be trying to add weight to the front rather than take it away.

Yea, but the weight thing seems to be a big secret. Ask how and where, and ya caint get a peep out of anyone.
