gergwheel Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 What is the better upgrade for a stock zx9r? my buddies birthday is coming up and i am helping his girlfriend decide what to get him and I don't know which he would rather have. Also what is a good swingarm kit to go with?I have heard MPSracing.com is good for their airshifters, anyone have any experience with them?

NinjaNick Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 Why do you want to extend a 9r, or get an airshifter for it? The bike isn't fast enough for that stuff. Save that for the bigger bikes. Just my opinion.Happy B-day to your bud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gergwheel Posted February 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 Basically he wants to go faster at the track, and my car is probably going to beat his bike this year, so he needs to do something to give him the advantage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaNick Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 NOS. Cheap power. Seriously, it is cheap power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaNick Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 I hope he clutchless shifts too. You're not going to be fast using the lever. I always clutchless shift when I'm getting on it. Preload the foot lever and snap it up when you hit your shift point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angrish Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 Buy him a drag tire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gergwheel Posted February 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 He already has problems with the front lifting, what do you think a drag tire is going to do to help that? I never thought about just spraying it, that might also be an option. And yes he is shifting without the clutch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman88210 Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Id say do the swing arm... but im no drag queen, i like to lean! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jermattak Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 i would say swingarm, I just read some stats on airshifters, and they werent that great compared to the money, I would only do it if was a hardcore drag racer and already had alot of power. The swingarm will help keep the front down, and I think that will help his numbers more.but like kevin said, im no drag queen neither Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
