I would swap out rear sprockets depending on where I was riding but I'm always one down in the front. I was geared that way that particular weekend. I could have said any gear ratio, but that's what I bolted on for that memorial weekend in '04. For some reason after a hard ride I always have to adjust the rear wheel back a fraction. The chain would always stretch and I would feel the slack whenever I coast the bike in it's balance point for extended periods of time. The speedo is off from the factory but the speedo healer is the remedy for the false readings. You should try one and see for yourself.

No need for a speed healer for me, I know my bike is limited to 187 + or - 1 mph no matter how much hp I have. And most people are aware the helicopter speed readings are not in the ballpark when it comes to higher speeds.

That's like having your watch read 5 hours ahead of time. You know it's 5 hours fast but wouldn't be better if it read the right time for a change. Whether or not the top speed was a ballooned approximation of my speed by the cops, they had printouts in my discovery of my top speed, average speed and lowest speed clocked by the radar. The radar was calibrated before the holiday weekend because of the sting they had for wreckless drivers. This is just one of the arguements that was submitted on my behalf but did not help too much:

Georgia Police Close Loophole On Radar Guns; Speeders No Longer Get Off Easy
The Craig, Ga. Daily Press
Craig, Ga. Police Capt. Jerry DeLong walked into a conference room holding the answer to a supposed loophole that may allow speeders to get off easy.
It wasn''t a new answer. In fact, both the police department and the Moffat County, Ga. Sheriff''s Office have been using it all along.
He was holding a radar gun and the two tuning forks that go with it.
DeLong and Sheriff Buddy Grinstead are convinced that speeding tickets written by their departments will be valid even if the tuning forks used to calibrate the radar guns have not been certified by a state agency.
The key is using two tuning forks instead of one.
Television news reports have publicized cases in which speeding tickets were thrown out because the department that wrote them did not submit the tuning forks to the Colorado Department of Agriculture for certification.
The Craig Police Department''s forks have been certified by the state. The sheriff''s office submits its forks for certification to a private company called Midwest Radar.
But Grinstead and DeLong said they could find no state statute requiring such certification. What they found was a precedent-setting Colorado Supreme Court case that gave them guidance. It''s a 1980 case called People v. Walker.
In that case, the court found that using a single, uncertified tuning fork to calibrate a radar gun "provides a legally insufficient foundation to support a reading taken from a radar device," according to court documents provided by the District Attorney''s office.
That''s where some people accused of speeding have found a way around their tickets, since some law enforcement agencies don''t submit their forks for state certification each year.
The Walker case, however, suggests an alternate, legally viable solution: use two tuning forks instead of one. Also, the two forks should emit different frequencies.
When officers calibrate radar gun, they strike a tuning fork and aim the radar gun at it. The gun is supposed to register a specific speed for a given fork. If agencies used two different tuning forks to calibrate a radar gun, it would provide evidence that the gun is accurate, the court found.
That scenario "would provide assurances that the radar device being field-tested was measuring accurately over a range of speeds rather than just at one point. In addition, such a rule provides greater assurances that the radar device is accurate because the result of each separate test serves to corroborate the results of the other," court documents state.
After their meeting, DeLong demonstrated the principle, using two tuning forks.
Grinstead and DeLong said radar guns that do not pass the two-fork test are sent back to the manufacturer.
Grinstead thinks the supposed loophole arose because the state is trying to raise money by requiring agencies to send in their forks for testing. The test has a $30 setup fee and costs $10 per fork.
"This is nothing more than the state trying to generate revenue for something that''s not required," Grinstead said.

You still got screwed because you never went that fast. But oh well, keep telling you did that's cool. by the way I know a thing or two about speed as I've been over 220 in the 1/4

What joke over 220 in the 1/4, I never said on or in what. I use to race Alcohol funny car. Been over 200 in the 1/4 plenty of times, no joke! only 151 on my 14. Before the funny car i had a 23 T altered that ran 180 plus in the 1/4.

An 03 GSXR would need a lot more than a racing cam and ported heads to go 205mph....
An estimation ...but ya averaged around 147 hp (at most) before mods and with cam and headwork ya got up to 165-175 (and thats stretching it..)
I can see a helicopter possibly clocking ya at that speed but not does not mean that you went that fast.... so if you don't claim anything but that the helicopter is saying you went 205 then you are not belishing the truth...but ya still don't know all that much... welcome to the club...
matter of physics...a claim to 205 mph with an on board GPS would be credible... if you had the horsepower and needed low drag coefficient combination that is...
With -1 front sprocket no way... speedo healer is not known to be 100 % accurate either...
but we are all learning....try to get along or all you will do is argue..a person with a masters in psychobiology should understand more I would have thought..of course some enjoy to argue as a past time seems like...you will have plenty of company here for that if ya like to .. kinda a waste of time for a smart guy.. don't ya think?...
have fun...it's a jungle out there...lol..

There is still alot of real word knowledge I am learning everyday, can't get enough of it. The only thing that is 100% in this world is that you were born and will eventually die. How will you be remembered? I don't look to argue with anyone but I will reciprocate any comment towards my person that I consider defamatory of my character 10 fold. Thanks for the feedback.

Mow your lawn, edge the grass, fertilize it, add water, clean the garage, pull the weeds in the planters & driveway, trim the bushes, put the trash can away, buy a new door mat, and get rid of those shit checker grips. Quit being lazy. You must be the pinnacle of the neighborhood. I like how the property line is so easily defined by the color of your lawn. Quit being lazy.

What kind of party would it be without refreshments? You still got them (cars)? Luckily it's cold and the grass does not grow as much, but I do keep it trimmed.

No I gave up racing cars a few years back and just run the 14 now, My Dad got me into racing when I was 16. It cost around 350.00 dollars a pass to run the alcohol funny car and got to be to much money and work. But I can say I did it. Shit i had more in my tranny and clutch in that car then my 14 cost LOL.

OK boys, here's the numbers:
2003 GSXR1000 official Suzuki specifications
- Primary drive ratio: 1.553:1
- final drive ratio -1 from stk: 2.625:1
- 6th gear internal ratio: 1.208:1
- Resulting overal ratio of engine speed to rear wheel speed: 4.924563:1 (o/a)
- Engine redline at limiter: 12,250 rpm (rpm)
- (rpm) / (o/a) = 2487.5303 rear tire revolutions at redline (rev)
- Circumference of stock sized tire: 77.9034" (tire)
- (rev) x (tire) = 193787.06 inches traveled in one minute
- / 63,360 = 3.0585078 miles per minute
Here It Is:
- x 60 = 183.51046 MILES PER HOUR!
That is in a perfect world with no wheel spin, enough power to overcome the aero drag, etc., etc., etc.
Are you satisfied yet that you were not going 205 MPH?!!!
Motorcycle gauges are incredibly inaccurate. When you say you've "seen" 192, one-eighty-whatever, this may rpms, that many rpms, it just doesn't matter.
You should have had me as your "liar", I could have had you pimpin' with your homies by suppa time.
Pop quiz for bkny ONLY, calculate for me how many rpm's you would have to turn to reach 205mph.
See ya' at the track.

He should of had himself as a lawyer. I think he should go back to school and be an attorney for these four reasons. 1. He doesn't care about the truth or facts. 2. He thinks he's the smartest man in any room. 3. He doesn't care if people hate him. 4. Everyone hates him. His only down fall would be his ability to convince even the most naive jury. Oh, I didn't say I would want him as my attorney.
