what`s everyone`s time at the dragstrip?

in all honesty guys has anyone ever gotten close to the magazine times for the 1/4 mile? with my bike stock I ran a 10.68 at 133mph. I"m not a religous track attendee and I have yet to see a street going set-up R1 do those numbers in the magazine I did see another R1 rider doing consistant 10.2"s(don"t know what mods. if any). What"s everyone else running at the track?

with shitty track condition, I was running 10.80's at 138mph just like I ride it on the street

looking foreward to running mine as soon as the weather breaks here in the Northwest--want to get a few other guys from my club out there-they seem a bit delusional on what their bikes are capable of running.......

low 10s (stock wheel base) and 140 with help from akra

ehh probably 12's at 120-130mph (reation time and 60ft times SUCK)

Might get into the 9's with a 50lb. weight on the front fender:p

48 with the help of my Nike spikes. :cool: Haven't run a car or bike through an official quarter mile yet though. :( -Rob :thumbup

It takes me about 45 minutes to get there......

On a dynodrag, the R1 will run around 9.7ish with a good reaction time....on the street its a different story with the very ligth front end =]

You can sit there and get a 2 minute reaction time. It won't change your times.

I ran a 19.16 second quarter mile in my buddy's 1987 stock Volkswagen Jetta. (I brought my bike to the track but only went to watch when I decided I wanted to drag my buddy's shitbox just for a laugh)

10.83 @ 130.00 - completely stock - clutch shifting.

10.53 stock wheelbase front end strapped.

I'll see this year with front strap and rear link> lowered about 3 inches just for a couple passes. Then adjust it back to stock and take strap off. I have 02 with Yosh TRS race s/o , Stacks, 520 kit with 1 up in back, PcIII and hopefully a tail wind;) I'd like to beat 10 but We'll see I guess:D

check out www.dragbike.com and see the texas shootout results for streetbike shootout. i qualified 8th(not on my R1) (brandon wallace)with 8.76@165 mph. with 25 mph head wind. sunday qualifying bike woulnt shift 2 gear and still went 8.82@150. that pass should have been a 8.45-8.50 on street tire turbo busa. all the other bikes were racebikes that really dint even meet tech. some had no taillights and aftermarket body. for a poor boy operation we will be pretty good. most of the bikes are 67 inches long , we are only 62 inches long and we rode our bike where they push theirs to the starting line. also saw a stock 636 run 10.20 bone stock with stock pipe!!!!

I ran my 2002 R1 completyly stock ran 10.40 @ 138 and second pass 10.20 @ 142.

10.24 @ 138, 1.80 60ft best so far. the bike has a 9.99 in it, but not with my slow ass 60ft's. I am under the impression the most Magazines use "corrected" 1/4 mile times. That is to say the use a correction factor chart to account for weather conditiond and altitude. maybe Mr. Trevitt could explain how it is really done. I have not seen any stock bikes running their "magazine" times, so it makes me wonder. Mr. Treitt what kind of 60ft's do you get out of these bikes, and who does the 1/4 runs? I have the Barnett clutch conversion, and an adjustable lowering link to try out this year. Please Lord let me run a 9.99 :)

I do not understand how a "stock" 636 can run a 10.20. At times Drag racing is too much like boxing.

Saw a guy on a gixxer 1000 run 9.29 one night. DAMN!!!!!! Ian

was the gixxer modded or stock??:hellobye

0.00 at 0mph

here the pic of the 636 if it works...******** http://www.psychobike.com/~psycho2/iB_html/uploads/post-1-58045-DSC01360.JPG

Please Lord let me run a 9.99 :) We use NHRA "Stock and Super Stock" correction factors: http://www.nhra.com/2002/sportsman/news/February/021501.html (can't find the real chart online off the top of my head, but the numbers are there) which correct the time and speed from Palmdale's 2700' altitude to sea level. The numbers are .9679 for ET, 1.0339 for speed. So, the corrected '02 R1 run we list of 10.10 @ 141.75 was a raw 10.43 @ 137.1. Motorcyclist uses temperature and altitude correction by calculating a density altitude based on temperature, and using the NHRA chart for that altitude. Kent and I do the runs for both SR and Motorcyclist. I've done the bulk of it lately, including the new 600s and the open bikes last year. On any bikes that we've both run, he's generally a few hundredths quicker :mad: 60-foot times are usually 1.9 for me. AT

Mr Trevitt you have just made my whole freaking day!!! LOL Thanks for the straight up info. If you ever find you're self in Oklahoma City (the arm pit of the world) you have a place to stay and an R1 to ride brother :) Just so you know how ate up I am I subscribe to Motorcyclist, Cycleworld, Sport Rider, Motorcycle consumer news, and of course get the AMA mag as well.

10.4 cant remember the speed, piped jetted, and 2 up in the back

I do notice that many magazines reek havoc on their clutches to get the best time. Many street riders (myself included) will simply not tear our babies up like that just to get the absolute best ET. I can believe a 10.20 on the 636. From what I have read it is very close to a gixxer 750 which is capable of those times w/ the right rider on board. If I was in the market for a 600, it would be my top choice. - BA

Originally posted by NTSKEERED 10.53 stock wheelbase front end strapped. So what did you do to the rear of the bike? I plan on straping mine this year to see if I can run better than 10.7's. I just got my schnitz strap in the mail today!:D

That can't help his times much.:2bitchsla Maybe for some reason he had them off while lining up the rear wheel. I would still take the time to mount everything back up.

I love this thread. It's real good to see the straight awnswers and excellent information. Thank you Andrew Trevitt and Jaytensec4cyl. I run 10.7's at my best. My 60' usually lies in the 1.8's or 1.9's. I have a few 1.7's but they were a complete fluke. I went 10.7's for a good part of last year, but I started getting slower at the end of the year, trying to hard probably.

8.85 et at 164 mph so far . I should be going 8.50's at 170 mph in a couple more day's . I will let you know how it work's out ..

Today was my first trip to the drag strip on a motorcycle. My best out of like 6 runs was a 10.81 with a 1.87 60ft time and a nasty 20mph head wind. I was dissappointed until i read this thread. Dave

In reference to the original question My 2004 Bone ass stock R1, Schnitz straps only on front , no gearing , NO NOTHING 9.81@144.95, 9.85@147, 9.92@145.63 and other various nines and 147mph runs #2777 Nhra. Div 2 currently third in street et class Gainesville fl. I have since been wearing a 16 frt sprocket and the cat has been removed. times should improve some more. soon I hope, getting closer on all areas and consistency. Dialing in ten-0"s has worked up to now but I think Im getting my shift points down better and should run maybe 9.80 area maybe a smidgin better. I Want to try to do my very extreme best before modding it. Its fun and it will make me better. Cheers all Will be at Gainesville this wedensday again running my buddys Dirtybird XX :thumbup EDIT > I apologize if you meant just the 02 r-1

8.61 at 169mph Still has more in it to.

Very nice , Bhartley That has got to be fun. Rock on.

wanted to clear up a few things. Instead of editing the prior post , Will just write it here. I have had the bike to the track six times, once before I started bracket racing, best was 10.00s first time out night. since I was going to be bracket racing I was comfortable with ten"o"s since it seemed to hover there with me on it, so thats what I have been dialing. That has not really given me time to do the bike justice, on just how fast I may be able to get it to go. So that being said I only get a couple play runs to try balls out at each of the times at the track. so I would do that at least once if I could and here is the result"s. there is an exception however, when after getting my license for nines , could not get one to save my life next time at the track. 17 tooth front sprocket, no cat , Schnitz straps on the front. rest of bike as showroom. 04/03/04 9.81@144.95 1.72 60" 04/17/04 9.96@142.76 1.75 60" 04/17/04 9.80@147.51 1.69 60" 16 tooth front , no cat , straps , same 05/15/04 9.88@145.23 1.72 60" 05/26/04 9.85@147.32 1.70 60" 05/26/04 9.92@145.63 1.65 60" Made some changes this week. the mph shows the et can be much better so Im doing what I can to reach that, with my limited talent. if the package works, I will let you know what I did , If it does not do any better, I will tell you that too. The times should get better thinkin maybe a 9.7 something. Hope im not being to optimistic Rob

Rob -- come to Valdosta Fri June 11th -- you will love the track! They also do motorcycle races on Sat nights with 100% payback...

Can"t make that Nuke but thanks for the invite . Matt and I were going to run gainesville last week and got rained out and it looks like tonight will be the same. Im wanting to try some new things with gearing and stock suspension. Hope you get to go and have fun.

What's fag racing?:D

What should i expect from my 04 in the 1/8th??? Bone stock....

i ran 6.20's in 1/8 with 60 in wheelbase. ran 6.40's stock with stock bike.

:) update I guess Im going the right way, Got my best 60" time of 1.634 and best time so far of R/T .018 60"1.654 330"4.275 1/8 6.390@116.50 1000" 8.220 9.786@142.11 so I still have some work to do on gearing (and other areas) but this is my setup right now. remember I still blaze the forest so I do not want to drop the forks too much. With the 190 on the back, dropping the forks 3/8ths of an inch does not let it steer to quick so it works for street riding fine even at speed.If I use a 180 It may be a shade quick on the steering so) raised forks up in the clamps 3/8ts inch ,15T front sprocket, front strapped, 0 preload front and rear with some rebound dialed in,no cat.I weigh 150lbs When Im done racing I remove the straps dial my preload back in and Im gone again. take care, be safe,have fun ! P.S. I won the street cycle round in gainesville,Made a mistake and got put out first round but bought back in and took the trophy Yea !! fun night THE YAMMIE RULES :fork

Good job Rob! That bike is running extremely well! Gonna be in Gville Wed night? I think i am gonna try some sat night streetbike stuff there in July...

Thanks Nuke I am getting ready to go to work .May be at g,ville not this wed but next and their is only one sat night bike gig in july. I will let you know when.Because when their is not a points nite or wed test&tune,they only run cars after7.00pm. :rant

I have been experimenting a little myself...I'm not sure if my bike will go 9.70s...I will be happy with 9.80s if I can do it with the 40hp shot. then will bump it back up to 60 shot. See ya bud. Be safe Rob. If you need anything this weekend give me a call.:thumbup

Originally posted by Nukedog I'll put that Bird in the .40's with a 60 shot!!! RIGHT ON NUKE!...I didn't want to sound to over confident. I am really hoping to do better times. Rob and I will let you know when we go back to gainesville. I still need to make 1 more pass in the 9s to complete my license.

Sep 19th is the next bike thing and i will be there... Please remind me...

Originally posted by Nukedog Sep 19th is the next bike thing and i will be there... Please remind me... Will do!..... be safe over the next few days... see ya nuke!

SP500 Thanks, I will have to get back to you on where I set the compression as it was basically set up for the street but even that, needed some rebound added. comp, I do not remember off top of my head. The straps can possibly reduce someones time a tenth or more. Raising the forks can help but if you have a zx10r I would be careful if you go more than even a 1/2 inch if you blaze the street it can give you headshake/tankslappers. Kawi"s appeared to have way too stiff suspension stock, at least the one I sat on at the shop,They have alway"s been bad about that. Of course thats no big deal , aftermarket suspension is plentiful. Stock the R1 is a 17/45 setup, of which it seems to get the best mph but dragracing it that way will eat clutch"s. Take care But take no BS :bandit

Cool Rob, don't want to touch the forks as the 10 is weight biased at the front a fair bit and yep that rear shock is stiff, but aftermarket suspension is on top of the list for sure. Going to see what I can do with stock everything and then improve on that with slight mods, I'm like you, love riding out on the twisties, these bikes are so much fun.

im runnin 10.30's in the 1/4 with out NOS, and 6.50's in the 1/8 without NOS. I havent sprayed it on the track yet.

my best so far is a 10.03@142mph i know i can get better just need to get my launches down.All that is done to my 10r is it's lowered 3" in back and 2" in front rest is all stock ohya gutted the stock pipe.Going for a better air cleaner and a power commander this winter,Might even go full exhaust.

if i had it stretched, geared, a pc and full pipe. I am sure i can do alot better. also the track we run isnt the best. the weather was around 85 degrees, so if it was cooler i think she would have really been screaming. she likes the cool weather. :)

yeah weather has a lot to do in summer I ran 11.46@124 1.9 60Ft in my 01 R6, winter 11.00@126.75 same 60FT.

yeah it really does, i ran my o4 lastnight on the street. and its seems like 2 times as fast. form the cool air. i will go to the track this weekend to see.

over here the weather still very hot and humid :mad: next month should get a little better.

Rob -- see you on Sat the 18th....

ls1pwr1 Have"nt seen you for awile ,Hope things are good. Know what you mean about the weather.Makes it a bitch to want to ride. Nuke & Matt the Gainesville date is the 18th. I would hate to see you miss it . Im sure you know it was on saturday though. Of course thats if the track is still there !! It was weird riding with Matt today. we had a great ride but worried about the trees that have not come down yet that were leaning. And of course the love bugs were heavy about 10 o"clock so thats when we bagged it Take care everybody

Good deal Nuke it will be fun :thumbup

hey is anynone going to black sunday in St louis this weekend coming up. i think the drags is at Gateway racetrack.

Originally posted by stro3579 thats nothing new, i have beat plenty of busa's and zx12. its all about the rider. That and weight. I raced a 120lb woman on a ZX12 and she was beside me/front tire in front of me the whole way (60-140 roll on) even though i got 10 extra HP!

the busa was not stock but had stock wheelbase and stock ride height.He had nice cams and some other engine work done,i talked with the a guy who was friends with the owner.He had a huge problem keeping the front end down.This is my first race with a busa so i was excited i beat him and even with it modded:)

The clutch is the key to success..

I am fully stocked, suspension and all. I ran 10.3 @ 138 in 1/4 mile.

i passed my test for my nhra liscence. i am really happy. i took it tuesday. now its time to run the hell out of my bike.

My 02 R1 runs 10.7 cosistently with the front end strapped. I'm sure better times are possible if I were willing to burn my clutch. The light front end and short wheel base is not a 1/4 mile recipe.:fork

You make a few runs after getting a physical. After the runs you have 2 NHRA licensed poeple sign the runs and the track manager signs as well. Mail it off with $50 and wait for 3 weeks for it to come back...

Profx That is not such a bad time.No straps and all but the mph seems down, Did you change gearing or have a really big headwind ??

Matt Good job on your win :D That last run between you and Paul was a great run. Congrats :thumbup One more to go :machinegu

www.sogamoto.com Got pics of me on their site -- and the 10R i hammered (but getting busted bt another Busa too)...

SO ITS A TEST. OR RUNS OR WHATEVER YOU MAY WHAT TO CALL IT.

You can run however you want and do whatever you want so long as you meet the time requirements... Guess we just had a misunderstanding in terms. And yes i got my license already...

And yes i got my license already... congratts on you getting your license. sorry about snapping off at you on the other post, i had a bad day at work. has your times inproved anymore since the last time we posted? i got my bike down to 9.5 in a 1/4 at St louis Gateway. still trying to go faster.

Nope -- still in the 9.6 range. Trying a different sprocket and tire for next Fri night and that will probably be my last go before deployment to the Gulf... Got a 1397 kit and ported head in the garage that should put down 200RWHP (if on the low side) for when i return in April... Then a 40 shot of love will join it for some serius fun... Cograts on the 9.5 -- that is good e.t What was your mph and 60'...?

the magazines said my 2001 should run 10.29 in the quarter, i ran 10.28 with a slip-on and k&n air filter my first time on a track. i haven't been back since my upgrades.

Keanan -- that's a good start...

Cograts on the 9.5 -- that is good e.t What was your mph and 60'...? 60" was 1.52 and mph is 147. 2003 gsxr 1000, not my 04 r1.

im not a huge fan of drag racing my bike after yesterday... couldnt even crack 10's. then again, i couldnt make a full pass because i didnt have leather pants. but still, best 60ft was 2.15 and best et was 11.2@130. i hit 133mph once as well which caused me to get the boot.

Stro -- good running bike. You should be in the 9.2's by next summer with that light of a bike...

Originally posted by Nukedog Stro -- good running bike.

A 40 shot should get you 8's...

just came back from the track last night best run 10.14 @137. just a yosh slipon and an air shifter. 10.28 without it, cant keep her down. i'm need to gain some weight.

That is a great time if you weigh 250 pounds. I ran 10.09 @ 144mph: With a 1.74 60 ft. weigh 185 without leathers and helmet. My buddy rob has run a best of 9.78@ 148 mph he weighs about 145....... He was made for that R1.:thumbup

with leathers i only weigh about 140. i was looking into bolt on swing arm extenders and a strap for next year it will be snowing here soon.

Slo and Speed Try to put as much weight on the tank as you can without taking your butt off the seat (otherwise you may/will get wheelspin) as you would be unloading the weight on the wheel. agreed that for a 250lb man that ain"t bad time Speedfrk you could lower your forks about 3/8ths inch and still strap it and it will still handle fine on the street. Street use without straps of course . Keep all your weight as forward as possible. Don"t give it up yet,It takes a bit to get a handle on it. If it was easy 10,000 people in this forum would be talking about it in here but I only count about twenty so you should feel good about it. You can practice your launchs and roll off the throttle at about the thousand foot mark and scrub off the mph. but, if you got some leathers without a zipper that will mar your tank all up you would have a lot more fun and it would be easier on you. Then you could go as fast as you want. Till you get a nine, then you may have to get a license and that is nothing to it if you can get at least two passes in the nines. Wish all of you the best of luck . Anybody in here will try to help you. The only stupid question is one not asked. There are also a lot of other posts and threads already with loads of info in this dragrace section on things that will help with dragracing no matter what size or weight anybody is :vanish

Nuke Did not know you were being deployed. I wish you all the best and also appreciate you fighting for our freedom. When you get some downtime you better let me know whats happening with you. Going to miss your banter in here. Take care :thumbup

Thanks Rob. Yep leacing soon -- will be back in April though...hahaha Will have to re-learn how to launch and hopefully with about 30 more RWHP...

good luck nuke and be safe.

Thanks 1Long. Rob -- i am gonna try to make the Gville deal tomorrow afternoon to meet up with you and the Blackbird guy...hahaha

This years best on my BONE stock 04 R1, haven't even adjusted the suspension from factory settings 10.05 @143. I got an Akro full system now, we'll have to see if I can get a 9 out of it now

:) Ok Nuke That will be great. I will be riding mine up there but probably by myself. Matt may be up there later not sure

I can't go. I was hoping but once again Gville and I don't mix...

this past Sunday Oct.10

Today ran a best of 10.3 and a best MPH of 139 and best 60 was 1.88. This was strapped, no cat, graves velocity stacks, BMC race, and PCIII usb. I dynoed on saturday and made a peak of 152.9. One of my friends also ran his totally stock R1 today and also went 10.3 and trapped a best of 140 with a best 60 of 1.8x he also dynoed the same day as me and made 153.0 he weighs appx 160 and I am appx 225.

9.999 143 mph Was my only run ever under 10.100. R1 lowered, custom exhaust / home made exsperiment. Kyle

Here are a bunch of pics from one of my runs yesterday. http://vwroadtrip.peterbeers.net/Local_GTGs/102704_MIR/MIR-102704.htm

:) Nice pics Boosten

Thanks, I was really happy with how they turned out and can't wait to get back to the track and try to figure out how the hell people are getting better than 1.8x 60 foots!!!! :) Originally posted by Rob Clay :) Nice pics Boosten

Tonight ran a best of 10.117 @ 144.46mph. Also did a 10.190 @ 145.02mph. With 1.8 60ft times. These times were done with a stock bike with a tooth smaller sprocket on the front. Oh and I took the mirrors off. :p

how can you launch the bike without it bogging? also, do you think i will pass the tech inspection if i buy some cheapo leather pants from jc pennys or something? i dont want to spend 200 bucks on pants ill wear every now and then.

to keep it form bogging takes many things to go right. the right gearing, rpm, and good use of clutch hand. if you are bogging you are either going to fast with clutch with not enuff rpms. theres a fine point where it works. too much rpm and too fast clutch, wheelie or backflip. depends on how hard tech dept is. some places say they require leather, but if its your first time, most will let u make a pass, unless it NHRA track. really invest in good used set of pants. newenuff.com or newenough(they have lotsa used stuff normally or cheap stuff) lol cant remeber. u never know when u might need those pants. good luck

My buddy, on his 2003 R1, was consistently running 9.6's... my best was 11 flat with my R6 with no 2nd gear.

all tracks i have been to are NHRA, aka real hardasses. i honestly dont ride that often down here to warrant spending 150 bucks on leather pants. i think im going to check out the gay department at the mall... im sure they have something.

Where have you ridden. I thought that Bradenton Motorsports Park(Desoto) isn't that strict. As far as leather pants, you can probably get a cheap pair of regular leather pants for very cheap off of ebay.

i havent been to a track in florida yet, only georgia. im going to orlando speedway wednesday. hoping to maybe buy some pants from the local shop, keep the tag on them, then return them.

I thought a set of leathers were an essential item for a sportsbike rider to have even if you do average speeds on the road. I've seen too many cases of road rash not to do so myself. :dunno

i have a kobe 1.7mil jacket that is great... however, im not going to spend 200 bucks on leather pants for riding 45-50 mph normal. im in orlando, there are no curvy roads, i dont use the highways, and i hardly ever drag race. im going to go to a motorcycle store tomorrow and buy some... but im keeping the tags on them and returning them the next day.

I had a 2001 R6 with jetting and I ran a 10.89 at 135 mph!! Ahhh the good ole Hawaiian Dragracin dayzz!! :riding

Spdfreakr1 At Gainesville which is a NHRA track not only do you need leather pants but they must zip to your leather jacket , if you go faster than 120mph or 10sec 1/4 It is not the tracks as much as it is their insurance companies. if you do not want to be that safe try Deland airport out. Its only 1/8 mile but I consider it to be a dangerous track. Even Pro"s can have bad things happen that may/maynot be their fault, full leathers can save a lot of..... YOU As the old adage goes "If you got a ten cent head wear a ten cent helmet " Also, if you want to ride a great area, come to Ocala. Many beautiful roads and many in the middle of nowhere. You could ride with my buddies and I. However, we ride on the edge so Well, I will leave it at that. Must be a shame to have a R1 and not be able to ride it but in the city. especially O- town Merry Christmas Happy new year everybody :)

Ahhh the good ole Hawaiian Dragracin dayzz!! :riding 135mph? bs. maybe you meant 125, but you definately are not hitting 135 on a 600 without extensive mods. and yes, it does suck not being able to ride it. im actucally considering selling it because i dont get to enjoy it anymore.
