Sydney WSID Wednesday nights

[brooksy]

Nipped a bit off my PB, running 3kg of lead up front now, its may need a bit more but I don't want to weigh the bike down to much
I need to get my 60 foots down on this thing
The bike still tends to go Skywoods not as bad now, I had to drop the rear tyre to 15psi later in the night to hook up
9.433 1.641 @ 150.28

good work simmo, i think the 1000 might need some of that weight in the front too, should have the air shifter next time i come down, and i think ive fixed the tank slapping issues with a new ohlins damper, by the way where did u get that little compressor to pump up ur shifter bottles from?

Its a nice confidence booster to back up.Well done .Now get your 60,s down rob,your not riding it as well as a gen1 yet.You have a very fast bike there,it,ll be interesting to see how fast you can ride it.You can always do what i did,give it to alex for a night.Its still amazing speed for a stock engined bike though,it,ll take awhile to accept it as the norm,definately a big step forward.

well done simmo. out of interest whats your 330 time and 660 speed?

330 - 4.150, 660 - 6.180

Glen its all trial & error at this stage trying to keep it down & working on the 60f,
I have also starting trying different rev changes 10500 seems to be the sweet spot, but still only early days yet....

So much to test, so little runs before winter.Great results of the bat, now for the harder to find gains.I suppose if it was straightforward,the track always prepped and we got 12 runs a week wed probably have a new bike every 6 months,just as well the busa only comes out every 8 years.I,m trying something different this week and will stick with it for a while.My 9.5 style run was very hard on the clutch and would cause excessive maintenaince and inconsistent times.Back to making it easier to ride.I think its safe to say chris noticed a difference with the stacks.

Cheers &
Rapid K8 bike with different riders has been out about 5 times now, stock everything some Guy got down to 10.1 last week but he could ride, Alex (Youngblood on this site) has had 10.2s he may even got a 10.01 also, he is also a good drag racer he has the drag bike for sale in the for sale section.

They were getting better times at first with the 14, I think high 10.2's vs 10.4's for the busa. I think that they ended up going quickest with the busa. They seemed to agree that the busa has a much more "willing" motor than the 14! The 14 may be easier to get down the 1/4 mile than the busa.
