Hi all.
I'm looking for a bit of advice for next year's attempt to extend my record at Pendine.
My bike has a yoshi system, power commander 3, and is the first gen1 so no top speed restrictions.
I hit 169mph on the sand, at the mile, and know there's more there. Biggest issue is wheelspin.
One of my intentions is to lengthen the gearing, ie lowering my torque levels to help, and maybe giving me a bit more reach if the conditions allow a longer run. Any ideas of recommendations as I believe I'm running standard gearing at the moment, but will confirm that later.
Also tires. I was using my standard road tyres that were on the bike when I got it... Pirelli angels, which if I'm honest spin up on the tarmac never mind sand, so should I go the Michelin pr5 route? And its a 200 rear, should I drop back to 190, even 180 for a smaller footprint, like the salt for more speed?
And obviously power. I'm in the modified 1350 group, non turbo, and have a bit to spend engine wise. The exhaust cam swap? Is that a drop in solution or do some adaptations need to be made.
Also, I've committed to loosing some weight, so I must be serious.... Haha
Any ideas input gladly welcome. And thanks in advance.
