That shouldn't be a problem, I've been 5.76 so far with about the same mods as you, I weight 175 unsuited, but I have heavy 20 pound leathers. I also leave at 5000 Rpms.

you should be in the mid-1.40s 60 foot time. a 48 rear sprocket would help, but sometimes that doesn't work out with your street riding. You need to be leaving at 7500, the 14 don't make a lot of power below 7000 it's important to keep the motor happy, stay on the clutch. The first 3 feet is the most important. At your weight that bike can run low 5.80s hi 5.70s in good air and with a good rider, low 70s. You should invest in a auto shift. It makes life a lot easier.

Holy shit 7500 leave? wow I leave at 4500 to 5000 tops and go 1.35 60 foots and ran 5.71 last year at 185 unsuited and stock motor pump gas. I don't see no need to leave higher then 5000
sorry to hear about your poor 60 foot, maybe if you brought it up to 7500 could get it into the low 130s?
on the real, there's a lot that goes into good 60 foot times, everything matters, wheel base, engine RPMs, bike and riders weight, clutch control, how much horsepower your bike is making? i am a superheavyweight I have to leave at 9500 some of the 120 pound guys could probably leave at 5000, and be okay. But at 185 pounds and 66 inch wheelbase . I would think between 6500 and 7500 depending on the weather. Of course this is with a stock clutch.

like someone said it differs from person to person and bike to bike. like I said on my hand clutch bike I leave anywhere from 7-8 grand. but the 14 I ride that's a slider bike I leave at 4500. start at 4-5 and work up to find what works for you. main thing is have fun.

vailes3705, here are hp numbers to take into consideration, the gen 1/ through 2011. Makes about 80 hp @ 5000, and 160 hp @ 7500 I realize that this is adjustment you have to make to keep the front wheel down. gearing is also a big deal if you wanted to try a cheap test. And if you have room on your chain adjustment for about 20 bucks, you can put a 15 on the front. It will add about a 16th of an inch to your wheel base,where as a 48 sprocket would take a way about a quarter inch wheelbase. the 15/43 would be about the same as a 16/48 Just some suggestions to help your 60 foot. Also when I street ride. I put a 18 on the front sprocket, that is a stock ZX 12 sprocket .I run a 16/48 at the track on motor and a 18/48 On the St. Sometimes 19/48, depending on where I'm going.
