took bike out. totally stock except for schnitz tie strap on front end.altitude of my track was 5200 ft elevation. first pass 1.75 60 ft, 4.58 330, 6.75@ 112.98, 1/4 10.24@ 140.58. took about 4 runs to get bike to launch and get 60 ft down. gearing is way tall. best 60 was 1.69, best 1.8 was 6.66@114.01. best 1/4 was 10.17(ran it 2 times in row)@140.89 mph. normally when i got to sea level track like houston raceway park. my 00 r1 ran .3 tenths better. air and altitude where i live sucks. bike dyno'd 148.97 hp with 42.1 miles on it. bike had totally of 57 miles on odometer when i went home last night at 1:40 in morning. my buddies busa that dyno'd same day had 158 hp.he has brock hindle, pc3, bmc filter, brock map, lowered and slammed, bd clutch mod. im 130lbs and he's 208. i ran him once.
me him
1.71 60 1.68
4.49 330 4.61
6.66 1/8 6.81
10.1746 1/4 10.3363
138.72 mph 137.91

big weight difference in 2 of us. and bike difference. his best pass was 10.2088@ 137.99. he was really impressed on big end of the new R1. this bike hauls the mail. didnt have wheelie problems except for once. end of 1st gear even strapped it tried to wheelie. we were racing a heads up class. i got moved up to unlimited cycles because there was no one else in 1000cc class. in the unlimited class we had 3 busa's, me on R1, and 1 turbo nitrous vmax. it was street tire class. vmax rider is friend and had some problems. he's about 330 lbs on 800 lb motorcycle. last year he ran some 9.55@155 at our crappy track and air. he only managed some 9.95 on bottle in time trials. he broke something running one of the busa's. in finals i ran one of the busa's. his is pretty stcok except for micron pipe. he only ran some 10.60 in time trials. at 1:30 in morning, dew was fogging up timing lights. they had people wiping off lights in between each pass. ugly pass. after nice long burnout knowing track was slick and getting wet by dew and 36 lbs in tire. i hadnt spun at all, but i blew away the tire away on launch and he did as well. i had better light and i ran an 11.06 to his 11.07. we were laughing at time slip booth. track owner wanted to shut down the cars cuz track was lost. i loaded and collected my $150 in winngings and went home. well now back to nitrous install.

Does running the bike with front strapped down and the back end not lowered change the stability. Stink bug ass end up headshakey. Never tried straps but sounds like a good investment for the occasional bandimere run for me.
Cant wait for the 04

Do you think dry nitrous will get you in the high 9 secs?

UZI -- you strap the front to help keep the front down -- in a straight line it doesn't hurt stability.

1LongR1 -- very good runs. 10.24 is respectable on anything short wheelbased. Good job!!!

1LongR1 -- tell your buddy he is SLOW!!! I weight 205 suited and have run 6.4 in the 1/8 at 116.. And run consistent 9.91's in the 1/4 at 142... And i SUCK at my 60' (1.74 average)... Tell him to quit short shifting cause his MPH is real low...


EDIT:::: Not changing but krissten (Matt) corrected me and was correct 9.94 at 141.59...

Street racing here in Memphis is really big. The best I've ever seen out of a street bike was 9.29 from a g1k. R1's typically run in the 10.20's stock with a good rider. Shine, which some of you may have heard of, consistantly puts Busa's and ZX12R's in the mid 9's all night long. Hey 1longR1, do you think that the new R1, without straps, would yank the front up clutchless in second with no problem?

Nice.... glad you got the run her, I wish I was running mine :).. Time for a full graves system and a pc3 usb to get her in the 170 hp range, I'm getting steady reports of 155's at the wheel broken in at the shop... I assume you haven't played with gearing yet? One down in the front and a couple up in the back should improve 60 foots alot too and drop you into the high 9's....

yea i believe at sea level track and some gearing change and the bike will be a 9.80 box stock. without strap 2nd geaer wheelies would be happening, but remember i dont have the weight to transfer to rear wheel like some people over180 lbs. im a light rider and so i dont have same chassis problems as some. like i said the alititude of track was over 5000 ft. i will see how bike does in houston in few weeks. as for nitrous.. im not expecting high nines at all, more like high 8's in 60 in class. i know shine and his riding ability, but u cant compare times anywhere unless they are same place, same air, same altitude. even magazines correct there 1/4 miles times. all in all i was very pleased. still alot to do and figure out. this was 1st time riding bike at track and i have only 55 miles on it. clutch worked nice. ill see how it'll handle some hard 9k launches.

when are u getting urs back????i hate waiting..... gearing really needs change. i was just hitting 4th at end. once it gets over about 60 mph, the rpm's just come to life. and i also ran 36 lbs of air pressure. never once had to lower it. my 00 picked up about.3 with gearing change and lowering it. anyone else get change to run yours let us know results.:)

yeah 5000 ft. is a big elevation... didn't know you all had it that high in Texas...

You've got nos nozzles plumbed into the bike allready also (right?).... if so that's taking a little flow away from the bike in stock form also.. until the juice is release.. I'm gonna set mine up for 60 inch also I think.. we shall see... :)

yes and no. our true elevation is 3500 ft. i went by 2 different guys with weatherstations and computers. one said air was 4800ft and one track uses sad 5200 ft. we have the crappiest air anywhere. lol. yea the nozzles are plumbed, but i removed them and plugged holes, so it would be a true stock reading on times. i have been talking the SMOKEU and we have been discussing the loss of about 6-8 hp placing nozzles in airbox. it may not be that much if nothing else is in there. depends on room. i just got tired of fighting the lack of room and pushed ABORT button so i could make this race. i think at 60 inches and gearing changes and ahh of course some happy JUICE and these things will fly. definatley need a little help in first. i think im gonna try to start on about 10 hp progressive and builds up to about 60 hp. now i got to pull off the swing arm and send it in. not real sure or happy about that. ill keep ya posted.

Willing to bet on that? I will bet that not on single mag pulls a 9.80 on an R1... Wanna bet??? i'll also bet you don't hit 8's with spray UNLESS you go at least 100shot... Wanna bet??

I have laser cut nozzle brackets and would suggest mounting them in the airbox and using bendable break line to route in a loop style the nos and fuel... I got some pictures if you want to see them in a 02 ram air box... I know that the 04 is alot tighter but you can loop things to allow ample airflow as to not loose a bunch of daily power......

Hey smoke... when's the logan thing this year..?

where are you located at?

go cry on another site, all you do is go around talking smack here from doing a search in your profile. I guess it takes all these new liter bikes that are making the same or more hp stock then your beloved busa for you to come on an R1 site and talking shit to make youself feel better. alot of 04 r1 running the streets if you wanna bone up to your mouth.

absolutely. i dont think mags will either, but then again im not typical mag roadracer trying to do 1/4 times. im a small guy. jockey. whatever u want to call it. i bet bike will see 9 sec passes here stock other than gearing changes. hell my 00 r1 ran 9.90 stock wheelbase no juice. granted it was stock motor with cams, full pipe, jet kit and lowered. im not arguing or bragging about anything. hey i ride busa as well. im not saying that i will outrun ur busa or anyone elses. i started this because no one else has posted times other than mags on 1/4. my results from racing this year will be found at www.txshootout.com or go to dragbike.com and go to texas shootout results when they are posted. will stock R1 with juice in 60 inch class go 8's????? find out in a month or so. right now there are 60 in bikes running 7.90's. granted they are turbo's, but thats pretty much a stock wheelbase base busa 58.5 inches stock wheelbase. the R1 is 54.9 in wheelbase. so when i add 5.1 inches to wheelbase via extensiions. that alone will drop my stock times down .2 to .3 tenths. like your busa so much go to www.superkaos.com or www.psychobike.com. they are special people like you that are busa enthusiast. there are people there bragging about stock busa with stock pipes running 9.20's. go tell them there shits slow. only they dont jack around. they run for $5000.00 a race. and they will drive across country to race where ever u are.

so yea i wanna bet my stock r1 goes 9's.... how much u wanna bet and who do you want to hold $$$...
