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.

So going from Vegas to sea level wouldnt be much more of an improvement?
Same conditions, 64*, 15%, 29.90BP @ both tracks, 200hp @ sea level = RA @ Vegas
=92.26 = 184 hp = - 16hp around 1.5 tenths
A 8.90 @ 151 @ Vegas = 8.75 @ 154.50 @ Sea level
RG's 9.25 @ 151 @ Vegas = 9.09 @ 153.99 @ Atco, 33* above sea level, give or take
What happened to all the non believers that said that Vegas wasnt a slow track, I went from 9.25 at 151 in VEGAS TO 9.08 155 at Atco Raceway which is sea level??
Looks like the above prediction was SPOT ON!
Atco(sea level)
Vegas 3000ft

01smokes I have raced in vegas and it between 2-3 tenths slower than any track from Cali.
Well if that's the case why doesn't RG just show CORRECTED times. We do it with dyno numbers all the time so why not with ET slips.
All I'm saying is Vegas is not a slow track. Not one bit ya I'm sure SAC is faster than it but it's also the quickest track in the west hell maybe even the country...
I agree vegas is not no 2-3 tenths slower, Hell my track starts at 900ft above and most race days we are 2500 to 3000 ft and I can go to the quickest track there is and I'm not going to pick up no 2 to 3 tenths no way in hell. maybe in the old days of carbs but not on these fi bikes. not saying a tenth isn't possible. But 9.25 on a stocker just lowerd is flying! hope he betters that today.
Still more people questioning my statements......lol

Not .20 to .30 unless my math is wrong. Looks like about .12 to .15 on average. your 60 foot was better at atco. I never said it would not run quicker but not the .30 like some hoped for. good example is your ticket from atco 9148 had a 1.563 and ran 9.148, Vegas one run was 1.562 and ran 9.256 that's what not even .11 better.

Bently
The difference is......in Vegas the bike wasnt able to make the power to run the 330 numbers it ran at Atco, nor did it have enough ummph to 60 ft as strong as it did here in NJ.
But yes your right on those particular runs it wS .11 But the bike with a 1.55 60ft still ran 9.10 several times. my average in Vegas was 9.31 150, which is .21 better and 5 mph faster.

Not being an ass cause I really want to know. You think power matters that much in 60foot? I mean I understand with a rock solid clutch or the like the 60 foot would be limited by power. but with a stock bike like this, can't you leave a little higher or roll on the gas a little sooner to make up for it. I only ask becuase my 60 foot does not get better no matter how good the air is, can I do something different to see a better 60 foot in good air.

Ricky.....regarding those 13 bikes you raced in Vegas....did they have any miles on them or were they near 0 on the odometer...and isn't it hard on the motor/drive train getting on them when they are fresh? Or did Kawi people say "no problem" and don't worry about a break-in period? By the way, are those bikes later sold as "demos" to a dealership???...thanks in advance for answering

Bently.....60ft is harder to come by with more power available. So in most cases 60ft will suffer, but I can sometime convert that to a better 60ft but definately a better 330.
@Ronaldnn.....those bike in Vegas were all broke in with 600 miles on each. These bikes will be long term magazine bikes.

Rickey I live out west so I know what your saying Ive traveled cross country racing and yes 2 hell even 3 tenth faster is what most guy pick up going back east. You have to remember you not always talking to real racers on this site. Most can't read time slips or can't understand 330 can be more important than sixty foot. Mr. Dakota will tell you he has seen 2 tenths from going from barona to qualcomm and there only 30 miles apart. And yes bently you are and ass your getting advice from one of the top riders in the world hell I told you dumb but the kind of hp the new bike makes will make it harder to sixty at stock tenth. The man told you the bike would run 2 tenth faster the went out and showed the bike running 2 tenth faster and you still say "Not .20 to .30 unless my math is wrong." You should recognize game when it in your face. Ricky has Game he did not lie he even showed us.
