Al Z. Heimer Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 Cool beans. I am no expert by any means but this advice comes from personal episodes. Watch your bars twitch when you throttle and shift. If the front happens to lift and come down when the bars are slightly turned it could possibly induce head shake. I have had it happen and it happens right now. Smooth that out a little and have ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wojo72 Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 I haven't tried it on the bike yet. When I lived in Indianapolis I used to go to grudge night at IRP whenever I got the chance. It's funny how things change once you get married. Racing = No bueno, Camaro = No bueno, Anything fun = No bueno. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Racing = No bueno, Camaro = No bueno, Anything fun = No bueno.Funny u mention that, my fiance was livid because I went and raced my bike and "hit 130mph, that's dangerous"...u know what else is...walking across the street or heck even riding any type of motorcycle on any roadway. Least at the track a squad is there and if u wreck u slide down the wall not get it head on or get ran over by a cager [emoji12] double thumbin' it!

MichaelS Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 I haven't tried it on the bike yet. When I lived in Indianapolis I used to go to grudge night at IRP whenever I got the chance. It's funny how things change once you get married. Racing = No bueno, Camaro = No bueno, Anything fun = No bueno.Exactly. When you are single the bike is "sexy" when you get married the bike is dangerous all of a sudden! Wives just drain the fun away... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimTheAzn Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 I've taken the daytona down the 1/4 2 times. I ran an 11.5 and an 11.3. I spun the first run from hitting moisture on the track. I am sure I could go faster if I had more time at the 1/4 track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmutt Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 (edited) My ZX14 ran 9.65 @ 154mph right after getting it's Brocks Performance system and tune. Of course that was strapped down to a 1/4 mile simulating dyno, in perfect conditions, and before I bought it LOL. The po had the timeslip framed on his garage wall.I've not ran it at the track myself, but I might eventually manage some passes someday. I'd much rather run the OhioMile, a lot less to worry about on the launch Edited August 11, 2015 by Hellmutt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silentcropduster Posted August 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 I've been wanting to get some runs in now that I have full leathers.

max power Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 No shit? National Trail didn't require full leather until you broke 120. Now they do on any bike. Pretty sure you can get away with zip together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
