-solenoid eliminator mod
-play with fuel blends(100 octane is fun)
-strap the front end down and learn how to launch better
-shift right after the peak torque RPMs

you probably shouldnt make it to even 5th gear by the time the 1/4 mile is over

12.9 is pretty far from the 10 second bike the 1125 is. even given the altitude difference it should be better than that!!

I ran a 11.02 and had problems holding her down.
Need a strap and a good 60 foot.
2.001<horrible definately a low 10 second bike

by "using a strap" they mean tie the front suspension down, holding it compressed. It helps keep the front end down on launch.

strap it while its compressed. have a fat friend press down on the front forks while your strapping it- that should give it a sweet rake!

im thinking i could pull a flat 10 second with a couple shots at it.. i have some serious weight savings because im a skinny ass punk weighing in at only 145!!!

New times with it strapped 10.71 @130mph
10.73 @129mph
best 60ft was 1.780 using 110 octane on these passes.

The ride home from the track with the left over fuel in the tank was horrible. I noticed the bike was sluggish and bucked alot.I then went to bp the next morning and put 3.5 gal of bp 93 in as usual and the bike seemed right off to have better pickup in midrange.

Which brings to this question to 1125r owners that check there fuel adapt.When running high octane fuel should the front and rear fuel adapt values change when going from 93 to 110?I would think so?Well nothing changed on mine using 93 or 110 .I will try 93 at the track this week to see if it helps my times.

Currently my values are 94.5 front and rear 105 .are these values normal?

"Currently my values are 94.5 front and rear 105 .are these values normal?"

That's what mine are in the current warm Midwest weather we're having right now. When I ran in the cool rainy weather at HPT they changed to 94.0, 99.5. I guess the rear cylinder was staying a lot cooler since I wasn't sitting in traffic and it was 75-85 out instead of 95-105.

Congrats on the runs! Not bad for the altitude you're at.

Any idea what the DA was at the track that day?

My runs at the track were done in ohio .Thanks for the feedback on the fuel adapt question.
Eagle1 what are you referring too DA?

The temp at my track for those runs wer 95 degrees and real humid.My friends r1 picked up 2 tenths when it cooled off that night but I broke out during races and didnt get to race when it cooled off.

DA is the Density Altitude. It takes in consideration heat/humidity to give a "relative" elevation. So if you have a really cool day, you can actually be racing at an elevation below sea level - theoretically.

But if it was 95 degrees and you ran those times, not bad at all man!
