1/8th & 1/4 times 00' r1

I have an 00' R1 that's lowered 3" in the rear and 3.5" front... stock wheel base. I'm a "full-figured" dude at 260 lbs, so imagine if I were a little light guy. 1/8 Irwindale, CA 60' 1.780 1/8 6.877 MPH 110.19 1/4 Fontana, CA 60' 1.868 (shitty track) 1/8 7.041 MPH 109.48 1/4 10.661 MPH 133.57 Mods include: full yosh sys, MJN jet kit, 15 tooth ft sprock, 520 chain, lowered, NOS (20 shot) There was an 01' GSXR 1k with a first time drag racer at Fontana that ran 10.45@143MPH and all it had was a slip on and a light rider. MPH is a good indicator for the amount of HP you got. Obviously, the GXTR pulls strong! I'm curious to see what some more of the other members have done. Please post your weight also, as every 7 or 8 lbs difference= @1hp.

I have not completed building my dragbike yet, but on my buddies street bike w/front end strapped & full race akro the best I did was 10.12 at 140 mph in the 1/4. Looking for low 9's w/the dragbike lowered and extended to 60". For now stock motor no nos.

10.12 thats unbelievable!

my personal best is on my 00 12r i had.... 10.37 at 139mph but the first night on the 1.... 10.93 at 130mph is the best i could do.... I weigh about 220 in full leather and gear. full muzzy exhaust, +2 in rear, 520, K&N, ivans mod and jet kit. this was at stock suspension height..... I don't think the 1 is putting down the ponies like i hoped.... so last night i pulled the modded airbox and stuck the stock filter and box back on and put the 132.5 mains in up from 130 stock. The bike just seemed like it would fall off slightly above 9k... like it lost its umph..... When in a wheelie in first you could ride it out until 9k and then its like it wasn't gaining any power and just leveled out. i am going to dyno it thursday and also hit the track again. I was running real consistant so if it has more power i should know after a couple runs. What nitrous system are you running? I am hopefully going to get one within a couple weeks. Did you change the plugs?

I have a 01 R1. So far my best time at fontana is a 10.35 @ 137 with a 180lb rider. I'm still working on my launchs. this is with a stock motor, Graves full system and a jet kit.

my best 1/8 mile time was 6.852 with a 60ft time of 1.725.which on another run i ran a 1.68 60ft time. i am not for sure if that is good or not. i am just getting into drag racing bikes this year. mods on my 99 include lowered a one tooth down front sprocket.

Those are very good times. Your 60' times are good for just starting out. You want to try & get them around high 1.5's or low 1.6's. If you get really good you can get them to low 1.5's then you will be running 9's in the 1/4. Good luck and practice, practice, practice. Oh yeah keep a spare set of clutches if you get into the 1.5's you are going to need them.

amen to that

R1Y2K i noticed you show on the mods for your bike that you have or might have a ram-air box i am guessing. i have seen those for sale on the internet and have heard someone talking about it and i was wondering if they help any and are they worth the money?

I was going to put it on the street bike but will now try it on the race bike. Dont know what it does as I have not installed it yet.

Just got back from an 1/8 mile race in Terrace B.C.,best time was 6.92@104 mph,lots of wheel spin though my 60 foot times were like 1.9:( :(

I did a 7.60 @ 103.45 in 1/8 my first time out. I was sucking on my starts though. I did one pass on the wife's R6 - 8.196 I got a better launch. I will go back soon.

I was just out last night. Lowered and strapped 2000, otherwise stock. 1.67 60 foot 10.46 @ 129 Was runnning 10. 50's and 40's all night. By far my best times yet. Had some trouble at the end of the night. I was leaving harder and harder, getting faster each time. I ended up sticking with 7000 for the launch. Well it worked most of the night, Then they sprayed the track. Someone here once mentioned a supercharged wheelie. Holy shit. I was hanging on for dear life, it did it twice in the same run. First right away, then I gave the clutch a little slip to recover and bam, nearly lost it. Got to figure your feet are not on the pegs it bad deal. So first round of eliminations comes up. I figure I would still leave at 7000 but I would slip the clutch out a little easier than the last run. When I hit it, it was like I was on ice. Spun and slid to the side about a foot. Dang near knocked me on the ground again. Time to put it on the trailer.

10.70 @ 134 Bone stock/first time rider I haven't run it since putting on an Akra Evolution Full System, getting a set of Ivan's needles and replacing the front fairings with Carbon Fiber. ps. I'm 185 lbs.

hi guys, I tried my hand at the dragstrip this weekend, 1/4 mile times; I'm a total novice so I'm sure these time suck. after 5 runs against a ZX12+hindle my best time was 11.1seconds, 129mph my bike is bone stock and I weigh 145 lbs I need to work on my launches, I was holding at 4000rpm and letting out clutch and giving gas so there was some bogging, when I got more aggressive the rear would spin right off the line. the ZX12 did 10.2 best run topping out at 141mph, he looked to be a about 160 lbs. His bike was lowered. All in all though it was very fun, was a really great feeling putting in runs that most of the regulars in thier cars can come even close to. :rock

last night 10.2 and 136 all night long. pipe and lowered some (no strap used) i see high 9s in the future if i can launch harder. launched about 5 but know i can do better. 1/8 mile times were 6.7 at 110

10.68 bone stock everthing@ 132mph. 3rd trip to the strip. Mind you at the track I go to you can probally get around 20 runs in if you wanna put your bike through the punishment so I have about 30 trips in so far. 60ft time is usually around 1.89 or so on a good run for me.PS bought a strap and strapped it for the first time last night and ran a 10.42@134. I gotta say the strap is one of the best things I tried as far as keeping the wheel down 60fts in the 1.7s and consitantly 2 tenths quicker than previous average. 6.781 in the 1/8 don't know the speed as they don't have that on the slips they print here.

I know that my 60ft times are just horrible. I'm sure I can shave .4 or .5 off my time if I practice my launches. I was thinking about really having some fun with drag racing. Lowering the bike, extending the swingarm and nos.

i've been a 10.68 at 137 on mine and i'm about 230. that was in bone stock trim. i've modded the air box and a full yoshi with a ivans jet since then. tonite is bike night at the drag strip so i'll let you know how much faster she is. :eek: YALL KEEP IT RUBBER SIDE DOWN!!

Ive Run 10.52 @ 140mph on a bone stock 99 R1. Course that was on a track that was about equal to a back-country road!

That's ok.. When you look down the strip here you quickly notice that something is not right. It goes slightly up-hill :)

I've got an 02 R1 with a Akrapovic PC3r and Graves velocity stacks. I've got my bike lowered in the front and rear. My best time is a 9.75 @ 147 (1/4 mile) and a 6.36 @ 117 in the 1/8 mile. One other thing, I weigh only 130 lbs and that helps :)
