Anyone out there got any quarter mile times on a stock 04 XB12R. I didnt get mine to the track yet and have already started on mods. | ||

Stock XB12R, best run out of 19 was a 11.480 @ 119.64mph Stock XB12S, best run out of 5 was an 11.560 @118.38mph | ||

I ran a 11.8 @ 116mphs on my stock xb9s. It was on a dyno drag set up on a flatbed. How accurate that is I'm not sure. | ||

Can't help feeling that with a Buell lap times are more important than 1/4 miles. | ||

Wes, was that with you riding the bike? I've never seen that low an ET out of a stock 12. Heck, even at the dyno drag, the one 12R that was at Hals that day wasn't much faster than that. And we all know ya ain't gettin' the same times on that dyno drag than at the real strip or I'd be looking for some jap bikes to race with my 10.98 ET  | ||

Hey Steve, Yes, those times are based on me in the seat at a real drag strip (PIR). I agree, the dyno drag numbers tend to be a bit optimistic... | ||
| Steve_mackay |
Well, an 11.50 isn't exactly easy to get for us "normal folk" on an XB12 either. You have a tad bit of experience there IIRC, the guy with the 12R at the dyno drag ran an 11.2. | ||

XB12S Dyno Drag: 11.58 @ 119.3 MPH | ||

12.140 @ 108 on the dyno drag with my Dyna. Aint no way in hell its gonna be close to that in the real world. But damn im only 3/10ths behind the XB  | ||

Not to steal anyone's thunder, but some of you might want to check this link before doubting Racerx1's ETs.  Mike L. '04 XB12R | ||

XB12R on the dragstrip 12.00 can't remember the mph though. It was a warm day and my first time drag racing a bike. | ||

I dont think anyone is doubting Wes at all? In fact I have personally been to the races at Great Lakes dragaway to watch him. | ||
| Steve_mackay |
No, I'm not doubting his abilities AT ALL. I'm very sure he did those times on an XB. My point was, RacerX1's times are vergy good, because, well, that's what he does What gave you the impression anyone was doubting his times? | ||
| 1badxb |
Thanks for the times that will give me some what of a base for the mods i am doing. Anyone got a suggestion other than exhaust. | ||
| Racerx1 |
Thanks, I'm flattered guysbut totally undeserved! you forgot Steve that it also helps to have no life... | ||

on the subject of drag racing an XB... I know it goes against all we hold dear.....but... Has anyone cobbled together an extended swingarm for one? just curious. | ||

Ingemar, source? | ||

What gave you the impression anyone was doubting his times? Specifically, it was this statement: I've never seen that low an ET out of a stock 12. Heck, even at the dyno drag, the one 12R that was at Hals that day wasn't much faster than that. And we all know ya ain't gettin' the same times on that dyno drag than at the real strip Apologies if I interpreted your initial post the wrong way. Mike L. '04 XB12R |
