Go up on the rear sprocket.

 

[Mr Brown]

Tell us what you got. What times are you running now? What times are you looking to run? What's your budget?

you can put a 16/42 combo on it and put all tall stacks in the air box that will help with low end power.

We got a 1/8 mile track close. 16/42, Lowering links, strap, Pipe, Shinko are some things to consider. Ludicrous Speed has run 6.50's stock bike, 16/42, Shinko and airshifter, stock exhaust. He's a big guy, prolly weighs 240 or so. I'm running 6.60's, 112mph, 1.70's 60 ft, 6" over arm, 2nd hole 'bones, strapped, yosh pipe, 16/40, shifter and Shinko. I weigh about 280 w/gear.

All of the mods in the world is not going to play a part in your reaction times. Thats all you and how you react to the lights.
I run consistant 6.1's to 6.3's in the 1/8th at 114 -115 mph. I am running a 16/43 gear and it works great but, I also run the 1/4 mile. I have not done anything to my motor as of yet. I would suggest trying getting to a wide open throttle as quickly as possible. What are your 60' and 330' times? That is what is going to tell us how you are doing as far as leaving the line. Hope this helps out!

 

[Mr Brown]

Ignore your r/t and e/t's next time, and focus on your 60'. Once you get them low, (1.5's,1.6's) concentrate on your 330' times. Once you're consistent with your 60 and 330 times, start working on your r/t, and you will see your e/t drop. It don't matter how well you react to the light if you can't ride down the track......

 

[redjamesbusa]

ok here is some of my 60 and 330 times
2.196,5.296
1.974,5.296

OK...Bottom line is your 60's suck and bad...Concentrate on the clock and only the clock...I don't care how many bike you race it's the clock that's your opposition...Get your confidence up and address your 60' that's where your time is...

 

[STUNNAH]

Just do the 16 up front first...1 thing at a time...

Like Stunnah said, your 60' times need work. Try leaving at a higher rpm and slipping the clutch. If you get your 60' lower, your et will drop all by itself. Practice is the key. I don't know if there are some deserted areas around where you live, (country roads, industrial parks at night, etc.) but try and find a good stretch of road and launch, run out first, stop and repeat as many times as you can. Practice slipping your clutch and getting the throttle wfo as fast as you can. it'll come together for ya, just keepm after it.
