I really Dig my 14
I got a chance to get out to the track this past Friday night. It's been a couple of months since I have been out there because of working later with patients than usual.
Anyway, I got in only 3 passes in 5 hours of waiting because cars kept on greasing the track down.
I have changed nothing since I went last and I somehow got a little quicker. I managed to get the bike down to a 9.71 @ 145.5 on a 1.77 60'(I know,,slow).
On all 3 passes though, I hit the rev limiter about 60 or so feet before the finish line. I also noticed a little wheel spin on the first to second gear shifts on all 3 passes.
I gotta change that rear sprocket already dammit!! I bought a DJ "autoshifter" that I'm waiting for in the mail and I'm pretty excited about maybe taking 1-2 tenths off my current times.
Now I know the bike can make the power to get me into the mid 9's at stock wheelbase and me weighing in at 223 lbs in leathers with helmet. All I've wanted to get the bike down to is a mid to high 9.50 something with the basic current set up I have.
BTW,,,,,, I did get lined up to an 05' ZX-10 twice who was +6" over and the dude weighed about 175 lbs. I beat him on the run where I got the 1.67 60' time. There's another 10 that runs the track (also an 05') that regularly runs 9.40's-9.60's. I want to shut him down in the worst way!! Every other time I line up against him,,, He jumps me out of the hole by 4-5 lenghts and then I chase him down. I consistently pull 4-6 more mph that the second zx-10 but the second bike is ridden by a better rider than the first.
