Maverick, I am running stock gears , 17/42 and "trying" to leave at 3500 but I ALWAYS put in another 1500 or so which means I am riding the clutch waay too long...( I had video of guages)
This bike with me on it should run almost 9 flat according to calculations..I have Schnitz flash, Yosh R77 system, bike lowered with Brock adjustables 2 inches, and the front raised 1 3/4 at the triples. Stock shock set two out from closed.
When I first got the bike, ten months ago, I was holding the front about a foot to ten inches for most of first second and some of third.It seems as tho now, I am just riding the clutch.. Maybe the one standup at the line put an unconscious fear in my lil brain ?
I have a Quickkill but shifting by foot. For personal reasons, I want to keep SWB. I also do not want to strap the front end. I have came out one time standing the bike straight up, the rest of the time I am riding the clutch waay too far out.. It is what I am presently working on. Obviously with the bike able to do 150.70 to be exact,I am nowhere near the actual potential ET . Best presently is 9.62 but on an avg nite I run 9.80s with low top speed of about 144 .
You would think after all the years I have b=been at this that I could nail it down but it has never been a serious endeavor, just always like to take my street bike to the drags :)
Did this answer your question ? :) Sorry but drag racing is fun stuff :)
