sheefreak Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 With a 13 you should easily be able to leave in second. How is your jetting. I am assuming you rejeted for the temps. How healthy is your top end? Checked compression recently? Something is not quite right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, somethin must not be right, I launch in 2nd gear with a 15T front sprocket no problem. I have to feather it a little to keep the front end down, but thats it! Check the Video section, i posted a couple passes of me and my buddy racing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should be able to launch in second with 13tooth front, however, dumping the clutch rather than feeding it out will cause it to bog. Banshees like a to spin a little to get the R's up. 96 picks are digging in, period. Learn how to slip out the clutch at a high RPM instead of just dumping it.

True that, you might burn up a clutch too with that many picks. Thats what I did last year in 2 passes. Clutch smoked! Luckily some of my picks ripped out, allowing my tires to spin more, allowing me to slip the clutch less :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 I believe I have 48 or 46 picks in my rear tires, the guy I bought them off of used them in either a 4 mil or 10 mil cub drag bike, and they were plenty. You could probably cut the amount of picks in half unless you're turning some BIG numbers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
