looking at gears.

[diablo]

From what I hear, the most common setup is 16/42. Definitely read that post that him linked earlier.

i got a 16/40 setup which is supposed to be standard...they say the front comes up all the time but on a ride yester day i can get to about 60 in second and pin the throttle and it only comes up about 5 inches

. I went to the track and if my times dont drop dramaticly im going back to the stocker because the 16 feels funny for some reason.

16/40 is not standard/stock...17/40 is stock...Sometimes when riders are boasting about their skills the 2nd gear power wheelie is over stated (In other words their lying)...Anyway you representation of how high a power wheelie is, is pretty close...It's not going to raise the front like a clutch wheelie will...Anyway I really like 16/42...

Nah man i ment when people change most go to 16/40. Yeah i was expecting more from teh power wheelie but hey take what you get. didnt want to try it in first cause it seems to be a very violent gear...maybe next time out

You just need some practice him... You just got your 16 tooth and it takes some time to get used to the extra violence...

Super Street bike ran an article last year with a 12 and busa geared one down in the front and I recall the Busa in the 9.4 range. They shaved off 5 tenths of a second with gearing, intake, exhaust.

Being good at shifting helps...

I can pop through those gears pretty damn fast...

I get through the gears fast my problem spot is my 60ft time. The more i launched the faster it got i just. Last year i almost looped it on the line by dumping the clutch and with teh lower gear it i kinda hesitant to pin it right off the line

. Guess i have to quit being a beotch

what would be the top speed with a 16/42 setup ??
