Track Time

4JC · 02-24-2008, 02:36 AM

I rode with a group of guys yesterday. The leader was on a r1, next a zx-9, me then a 05 zx-12, suzuki gs1200 & yamaha fj1200. I was on the smallest bike there.

Our destination was Texas Motorplex for 1/4 racing. We had an hour ride to get there. At one point the guy on the r1 and zx-9 went wot and as I tried to keep up they ran away from me fast! I got up to 135 on a narrow asphalt road and then I slowed down. They said they were at 160.

On the track I paired up with the gs1200 and for my first run at the track my results were 12.383 @ 111.66 1/4 - 8.019 @ 92.25 1/8 R/T .811
VS.
gs1200 - 12.159 @ 113.61 1/4 - 7.919 @ 95.04 1/8 R/T .658

My bike is bone stock except for shimmed carbs. He had a yoshi slip on.

All we got was one run since the pro mods were highly favored over us and were running multiple times to our one run.

I need to work on reaction time. I had rpm's at 6 k at launch. I used clutch to shift and the other guy only used clutch at takeoff.

It was fun to say the least. The r1 ran a 10 something at 130.

Now I'm ready for my next performance mod. Ive got a stock can that I cut in half and it is really free flowing. What should I do next? Advancer? Sync carbs?

Were you at the Seguin raceway on friday? I stopped by there but the line was way too long to bother racing, i saw a silver zzr there too.

My best in the quarter, was a 12.013, but i was having a clutch adjustment issue, i think i could shave it down a little bit, but i usually run a 12.2, 12.3 depending on reaction time.

My truck goes around corners too, but i don't see the need to race it around them, but my bike on the other hand is a little quicker...but i think the nearest road racing track is about 4 hours away in the Dallas Ft. Worth area.

I have all my crap in and will be doing my first trackday as soon as the weather breaks. Just put my damper on today.

you look like a total badass randy!

I went to the track today, i ran consistant low 13's (probably due to the 1.6+ reaction time lmao) but my best time was a 12.07 @116

No I was at Texas Motorplex in Ennis, Tx. I'm going to try for high 11's after my next mod.

You are definitely "One" with the bike. Looks good.

what was your reaction time when you ran the 12.07 & how much do you weigh?

that is a good time!

Anybody know what the cost is to dyno a bike? My goal is to get a 100 hp. out of the bike.

I have a gutted stock can that has to be way more free flowing than even a aftermarket can. So maybe I eked 5 hp with that? That would put me at 94hp. An ign adv should add 5 or 6 more to get me to 100.

I read that the new 08 zx6r's are running mid 10's stock.
