    FZ6 quarter mile times and timeslips

Yea were all metric now, but the racetrack's been around for about 30 years id say and is run by old school musclecar dudes...so I dont think its bout to...

    FZ6 quarter mile times and timeslips

    Yea no problem. Temperature definitely makes a big diff. Im about 200ft above sea level and Id say temps was about 80 f. I usually bring my revs up before Im done stagging at about 5.5-6k with my weight all up front. When the third yellow is solid I let the clutch out slowly and from there I...

    FZ6 quarter mile times and timeslips

    Yea thats a personal best. I try anticipating the light as much as possible during the practice runs...get a few reds and then usually by the time we go heads up I cut it consistently under 0.1. Its pretty much my only chance of winning agaisnt the bigger bikes :rockon:

    FZ6 quarter mile times and timeslips

    Im thinking Ill keep track of my times as I add mods onto the bike...gives a rough idea of how efficient each one of em are. Next up is a pair of michelin road 2's, cant wait to see how much of a difference thatll make. This winter Ill throw in a power commander, new filter and racetech suspension.

    FZ6 quarter mile times and timeslips

    Yea your gonna wheelie a few time but just grab the clutch and youll be back on track. What worked for me was to launch at about 5-6k and slowly release the clutch from the friction point...if your tires are sticky enough you should be ok.
