Resurrecting The 1/4 Mile Bike

We are making some changes for the next race. The tires we ran on was from 2008, LOL! Below are the new ones. They are the same size, 20x8x10.

 

We were shifting at 9,000 & plan on raising it 400-500 rpm. Plus, we are making some adjustments in the clutch lever to quicken our reaction times

Thanks! 

 

I don't post too many time slips (slip matches video), but this will give a baseline to the new combo. Speaking of baseline, that's exactly what we did with this set-up. Threw a conservative baseline tune-up in all aspects. The only thing we worked on was: checking the plugs, wheelie bar height & tire pressure. Just to give an idea, with them minor changes our best 60' was a 1.43. So, with them minor adjustments the 60' improved from the time slip.

Haven't frequented the drag forums in some time....

Good to see you're still at it. And as always, your bikes always seem to haul ass.

You've always been a help to anyone in need.

What's going on Paul? You thinking about building another quad or doing a car?

 

We still have some work to do with this new combo!

 

Don't be a stranger, Bryan

We are also trying 10w30 synthetic motor oil for the 1st time.

 

Keep us posted on the 10w30 experiment.

 

Well, we switched out the 10w30 synthetic & went back to the synthetic trans fluid. We had to put 90 millisecond shift kill in, our max setting. It still didn't want to shift into the non cut gears 5 & 6. We had the same problem with Type F trans fluid many years ago.

 

I also did the normal clutch inspection/maintenance & decided on some changes. We had zero heat in the steels. So, I decided to lower the base pressure 24 lbs. We didn't make that change just based off the inspection, but what it was doing at the track also.
