How deep did you get in the 9s on your 12R with similar mods and conditions?

ship.I put 250 gateway pass`s on my 2000 12r in 13 years before I just blew it up.I ran around 6 - 9.6.........50 -9.7 and so on......Same type set up swb but on the 12r I dropped 1 tooth on the front..On my 14r I run a 40 instead of the stock 42 on the rear.You would get the same results.This bike is a motherfucker .I really think I could run 8.9`s if I raced every week for 4 months.I have`nt raced in 8 months.You can`t be good at anything unless you do it all the time.Oh well.........

zx12mark,
9.1 stock wheelbase is great, especially on pump gas. Those bikes are hard as hell to ride quickly at the track - set-up short, especially if you aren't a fly weight... they want to crawl right out from under you.
Well done.

thank you brock. On a fat day i weigh 140.I could get down to 125 if we get rid of my good lookin Italian wife,Man can she cook great. she only weighs 117........Anyway if I could go every week and race for a job i know i would be a champ.......But i don`t want to destroy my personal bike trying.I just go a couple times a year for fun.I just blew up my zx12 2 months ago and I can`t get that out of my head........I have owned it for 13 years and 58000 miles...........

What let go on the ZX12? 58000 miles is pretty good for a bike that's seen hard use.

This is what happens to #3 connecting rod at 12,000 rpms at 100+ mph on a 13 year old zx12r with 58,600 miles, 250 1/4 mile runs at gateway raceway and at least 10,000 gear shifts at redline on the street. When it let go I was on the back tire a bit and had made the 2nd gear shift.My engine did have a slight knock when at idle for a couple of years.It was running like a raped ape like always when it KABOOMED. Hot oil and coolant blew all over my right pant leg..Did I say it was hot yet. I looked like a spitfire getting shot out of the sky with a smoke rooster tail.I miss this engine already and it`s only been 1 day....I am on the look out for a replacement engine.

Out of tragedy comes opportunity... build a killer!
I always hated repairing broken s*it, all you get is a bill and the same old thing afterwards - sucks. If you are going to spend $, put a big ole smile on your face afterwards 
If you take it apart and the head isn't too jacked up, you might be able to send the crank off for repair, freshen up the head, find some cases, buy some rods and overbore pistons - and boom, back in business.
Just a thought, and it's FUN!

I bought an 2003 engine for 1100 bucks shipped with 12 k miles.It`s being shipped tomorrow.
I plan on splitting the case`s to transfer my r & d transmission form the blown engine.I think the blown engine is scrap.I will pull it apart for any salvage parts and sell them..........

Great call on the R&D tranny. Mark is the best in the business - that alone will save you the trouble of pulling the engine in a few months or however long it takes for it to start jumping out of gear. Be sure to inspect the peaks on the new engines shift drum also.

they are k-40 radar detector and laser jammers. On the front also..Tiny speakers inside my helmet.In over 10 years on my zx12r and now the 14r have saved me at least 100 tickets and my buddy's who ride with me...2500 bucks installed. All custom work.I get paid good for doing them....

the window is between 154 and 160........strange for sure.From what i have read my bike is close to 220 to the rear when It`s hard as hell to control stock wheel base.It sure is fun power wheeling over the first half track.
