Just my experience from last night to add.
I had hit a wall, couldn't get it into the nines with 54 passes so far.
Installed 16T sprocket went to the track last night, it launches more consistantly, runs through the traps at the top of 4th now. But not much of an ET improvement 10.08,
but real consistant 10.15's @ 138 (1.70-60ft.) MPH didn't pick up at all.

I'm going to leave it alone for the next few trips to the track, just to get use to it, does feel like it pulls better out of the hole, but more controlable, not wheelie monster.

If it doesn't get any better, I'll go back on the gearing, and try pulling the flies.
Oh yeah...Busa kill #7 last night too!

halvefast you have not hit the wall yet ... Your brain is telling you that and that is keeping you from going faster ...Keep trying it will come...... Anything in the 1.60 60 footers and you will be in the 9s......Good job on the Busa kills and keep up trying, trust me it will come ...smokin...

well smokin i think your right. I was trying to master the bike as is with the stock well base and height. I thought i had that down. I have no problems with the bike bogging either. Thats all clutch play. My friend your definitly right on this one. If i do anything ill lower the bike when racing or practicing. I thought i was actually done good untill i ran up on a guy whos been racing for yrs. First thoughts were to make mods to compensate for my lack of skill. Screw that. Im going for being the best rider. Like the guy told me( Im out riding you, ill take your bike and beat you on mine.) Learned that it going to take alot more practice. I dont take the guy talking shit at times offensive because i can except that im a rookie at this and dont know everything. So point taken.

Lee, you talking about that latino guy with the 1000???

He wanted to line up with me so we did and he beat me, then asked me again and beat me,and asked me again then I got him!!!...I asked him to line up and he said he's letting it cool down

So, what did you do with the shims, I'm guessing you took them out???...Did you ever try mr9, I guarrentee you love that fuel expensive but worth it...

smokin im going to have to start calling you Mr Mehake from the karate kid. Its good you have a positive outlook on things. That makes what you say mean more. I think ill visit the shootout and see what the pros do. Good advice. Oh yes i think the guy knows hes going to get beat. I think he ll be runnning at the shootout also on his 1450 busa

Smokin'- Do you know Jon's bike #, there are quite a few ZRX's running?
I kinda liked the 0.090 shim , I might want to go up to 0.140,
got a 1.66- 60ft. last night on the 10.08 run, going to try again over the weekend.
I started doing like you said, watched the 330 cone, judged how quick I could get clutch out and throttle pinned.
Forgot to mention it was 98 F @ 8:00pm and 3400ft. DA on that pass!

Serius- Look me up I will be there both days, Sunday is a make-up race
from the rainedout San Antonio meet. Blue14 bike #710
