Hey, just curious if anyone has ran there geared up bikes on the 1/4 mile, what time, bike, sprocket size ?

 

What would that accomplish? Larger sprockets in the rear create more low end torque and REDUCE top end so depending on how high it was geared, it would be punishing to the bike.

 

not sure about the 1/4, but i have run a 7.2 in the 1/8. 2001 f4i, 60 tooth.

 

06 R6, -1 +8. had adjustable links so i would slam it whenever we went to the strip. 10.6 was the best. high 10's though all day. im NOT concerned about takin my +7 954. I dont wanna end up on my back when i launch that bike!

 

kind of retarded to run a geared up bike on a drag strip

 

then dont do it?? idk bout you sallys but why sit on the side being a lame when you can go out and play around on the track for a few runs with your friends..??? drag bikes are geared too, ours are just geared a lil more. life will go on

 

my f4i might top out at like 120mph but it will get there in like 2 seconds... it would spank a normal 600 with stock gearing in the 1/4

 

00gsxr 750 streetfighter 250lb. Rider 11.2 at 118. Iforgot what the gearing was but as you can see my mph doesnt match my et . I used to go 11.7 at 116 in my stang all day

 

you prolly had a ridiculious 60ft, and 1/8 mile time then gearing caught up with u at the end.... or well i guess u coulda had a horrible 60ft time and just closed like a bat outta hell....

 

ok, just wondering cuzz my friend keeps talkin crap that his p.o.s eagle talon will win a quarter mile race but i didnt know what kinda times the bike would run with the sprocket ! he runs like mid 12s and i have a 03 636 with a 60tooth so I think i would win !!! haha

 

would it? Or would you be shifting so much it might actually slow you down?

0-60mph time shouldn't be any different on a geared vs no geared bike since you should be launching at near redline and riding the clutch off the line

 

any modern 600 should be capable of running in the 10's with the right rider

Even if your a 'decent' rider, mid 11's are fairly easy to get, just launch it hard!


most squids on bikes can't get off the line quick, they don't know how to launch the bike slipping the clutch at oh say 12k rpm.. But I don't blame them, I'd hate to not know brake control and have a bike shoot up on a wheelie on accident
most squids give bikes a bad rep, and give slow cars a good rep lol. I know plenty people with 12 second cars that go out and RAPE bikes, and then say "oh I can beat bike

 

yeah you can run geared bikes on the track I got friends that do it one of them rocks a slightly geared f4i and blows **** on 1000s and 600s set up slightly for drag depending on the rider a 1/2 mile is not that long having geared bikes makes your bike quick off the line if you know how to ride you can smoke mustangs with slicks and full catback exuast slightly tuned and corvetes if you can ride lol

 

id love to take my +13 600rr to the drags...i spank all the f4is w/60s with ease in the lots. even against my buddy who is savage with clutch brake control

this thing has some pull and still revs for days

 

Punishing to a stunt bike? Are you serious?

 

honestly i think the intake sticking out there without the ram air tubes caused a low psi area at a higher mphs. causing the loss in mph , i should of been in the low 120s.

 

Take about a second off up here at altitude. Our track sits right at 6000ft, corrected I believe it's 6200ft.

 

i was going to say the same exact thing

 

i have seen a few stunters run their bikes at the track.. if they kept it down, the 60 fts were pretty good... but were done at the 1/8th for the most part.
