Lee, now that I had a chance to really look at your slips where its quiet, your bike will run those MPH with MR9. I can't believe you ran those numbers on pump gas. You could probably go an 8.50 with your GREAT 60ft times.

I'm just saying...the air wasn't on par with what it could be...you know, 50 degree temps (outstanding conditions). In those conditions, that would make for like 134-135 mph in the 1/8th...on a stock motor?
Shane temps when we made our first passes were mostlikey in the 60s by noon low 70s and we did have a tale wind ..Not a big wind but a steady breeze.. Here is the funny part , the bikes ran the best numbers in the hotter part of the day and the wind became a cross wind and not a tale wind .. I can understand Nooby bike going faster than mine because of the mr9 and he also has a lighter rear tire ..I think it was a ct2 race tire ..It has to be lighter than my 008 shinko slick .. Nooby and I felt the same way about the MPH , that is was a fluke .. We talked about it more than once today.. We were shocked looking at the tickets.. I talked to a few friends and asked about there MPH and they said their MPH was a little faster but nothing so shocking as ours ..My first though was the clocks were wrong but nobody else was seeing anything that wasn't normal for them ... Like i said i'm at a loss ..

Here is an easy-to-use DA Calculator.
I have never checked it for accuracy, but it seems to be pretty close.

You only need two tools: WD-40 and Duct Tape.
If it doesn't move and should, use the WD-40.
If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.

The last day at the track we had a DA of around 1000 feet. My best mph #'s were 127 in the 1/8th and 154.74 in the 1/4. This was on MR9. Bike/rider weight of 687 lbs. Most 1/4 mile trap speeds were in the 152 mph range. Did you guys happen to weigh your bikes at the track? Putting MPH aside, the ET's are fantastic.
I would be lying if I didn't say I was a little discouraged. I'm really trying my hardest, but I don't see myself ever equaling your numbers. I think 8.80's are maybe in reach for me with fantastic air...but that is it. Maybe when I tune the bike I will find some missing speed. I used to think breaking into the 5.7's in the 1/8th would be fantastic. But now I feel like I suck. Thanks!

Shane I have not weighed my 09 but did weigh my 06 .. 505 with 1& 1/2 gallons of fuel ..I don't see why the 09 would be any different ... With my weight ranging from low of 140 to a high of 150 in gear , 645 to 655 .. I still have 30 to 40 pounds less than you Shane ..What is that worth ? tenth , tenth and a half .. one to two mph ..? Don't give up Shane , you just need more time at the track .. Remember Nooby, Wee and myself are at the track every week , sometimes twice a week ...
