Hi
We took our K8 to heathcote with a extra link in the chain and a 45T r/spk. 1st 2 runs 9.88 & 9.87 / 146 mph and change. Went to a 43T [had to take extra link out] straight to 9.62/148.22, one less gearchange and a lot easy to get off the line , tried a 42T next, best leave [1.59 60 ft] and ET 9.56/147.8 but lost a little speed. I guess what I`am trying to say is lowering the gearing is good for wheelies [but you already new that] and feels like its accelerating harder but sometimes its not. I am not trying to be a smartarse just some observations and a lot of runs down the 1/4 mile over the years. Jim
