My First 1/4

Benmodo · 07-17-2008, 09:54 PM

Well yesterday I went to a test and tune at Milan for my first time down a 1/4 mile strip ever and I think I did pretty good.

I'll scan and post the timeslips but my best run was 12.03 @ 113 mph.
Now I'm making excuses but this bike is a 92, has 52,xxx miles on it. My first time doing a 1/4 mile run. Conditions were VERY hot, probably 90-100 degrees out. Clutch was slipping everytime I changed gears so I may have to change that soon.

Left lane for these:

Third run was my best.
Last run is this one, I had a really good start, I have no idea why my trap speed was so low, must have been my shifting and/or the clutch.
Right lane:

And the money shot

found this one the track's site.

NICE! any car or mortorcycle running 12s can be alot of fun on the street, canyons or just about anywhere.
btw: What was the stretched bike running?

Cool money shot! That's a pretty good quarter mile time even with that clutch slipping issue.

what ran that 8.4?

Yeah, I'd say if you are gonna run it at the track, change the clutch. I did some unofficial runs with mine, and while waiting to go my clutch would slip. I changed it not long after that.

Probably the CBR next to him in the first pic. Looks like a lightened, stretched, lowered drag bike to me. Woudln't want to ride THAT on the street.
