Me weighing 215 suited. Had not been on a bike at the track in just under 2 years. The above pass was my first pass. Never improved on it, though I did improve my 60' to a 1.57(330 improved slightly too), but by the 1/8 I had lost 2mph. This was the last pass of 6 or 7. I wheelied, missed shifts, etc on most others. Air got worse and that's what I attributed to the 2mph loss in the 1/8(and lost 1.5 in the 1/4).
Went to another track a month later(1/8mi). Bike specs exactally the same.
Best pass:
60' 1.61
1/8 6.20 @ 119mph
Only got 5 passes and 4 were screw-ups. Best 60' was 1.57(again) and my 330' was .02 better than the 6.20 pass but for some stupid reason I flat missed the shift to 3rd! Was a 6.teen pass I'm sure, but no go this time.
Need to either lose a little weight to fit in my old leathers or get bigger ones! Getting kinda hard to get legs to the pegs with them as tight as they are.
For the next time at the track, I have picked up a Catalyst seat pan to get my 'heft' a little lower. Gonna try to lose 10-15lbs too which will help me get my leg to the peg. I know its gonna be harder with me sitting lower. An airshifter would be nice, but I used to be able to foot shift pretty well, so I'm hoping I can improve with more seat time. Goal is to hit a 9.3 something with the stk exhaust. I'm not far off. Gonna try dropping a tooth or two on the rear sprocket to help me get WOT in the top of 1st gear.
We shall see how it goes...
