Would like to crack a 9

[AntsBuza]

Got to the track for the first time on the new bike.
Strapped and lowered Brocks pipe & Clutch.
18 - 46
Ran a string of nines best was 9.84 @ 147

first time running my K8 at a prepped track I ran a 9.6 @ 145 on stock gearing and R77 and a PC3USB

shame I trashed it on a flyer at 192 mph

but it's sort of back together again but being worked on the summer (if we ever get one)

last season I ran 9.6 on my stock gearing and stock length K8, it was lowered only. That was on a prepped track and foot shifted. Then lengthened 3" and running 18/46 still only stayed 9.6 on rough tracks but then i also weighed in at 100+kg

this year it's being breathed on so I can go land speed racing, need to up my pb of 213.44 on a road bike, pictured in 1/4 trim. And also so I can crash faster than last years 192mph off - oops.

Well finally got around to heading out to the local track, has the bike lowered, stock gearing, stock length, my own tune done with ECUeditor and my portly 110kg, took a little while to get the hang of the lowered bike but in the end I managed to get a 10.16@142.9MPH with a 1.87 60ft..........so got plenty more in it with a little more practice. I forgot to mention foot shifted as well!

I'm still learning how to tune with the ECUeditor and the DL-32/LC-1 but I think I'm doing ok with it.

It has some things that I think I will try, like using the clutch instead of throttle to bring a wheelie under control. Sounds easy in words, but at first it may be difficult for me to overcome the instinct to use the throttle to gain control over a wheelie.

You sure find out just how often your not at full throttle when you start datalogging, real eye opener , instict is hard to overcome

It sure does, my little wideband sometimes tell a storty of its own

& getting the wrist to do what the brain tells it is even harder
