unpredictable
having traction problems if i launch real hard most of the time. i am 180 suited, the bike is 65". 16/43 brocks gen3,track map,shinko 003, pingle shifter, 87 pump gas. ihave to run 8-10 psi or it won't hook. i can run 9.25--9.35 all day but my 60's are only 1.48--1.54 and i warm the tire real good. if i try to leave harder it will either spin or wheelie. do you think i should shorten it to like 64 and learn to drive it that way. i have the suspention set so the tire just misses the under side. oh i am not a professional, just a old mechanic having a blast!

Sounds like track prep....At 65 i can wheely all the way down the track...At 64 it's even worse for me ....If your track is that bad 64 may be a help . It's realy hard to know what problems you are having without watching you first hand . Smokin..

That is pretty darn long and if you don't weigh at least 200lbs suited and have your suspension very soft with straps loose up front to let the bike rock back it won't hook..
