i just stretched my 600 and got it at the track for the first time this year today. i went up 2 on the rear stock front and strapped. my 60 is still only a 1.70 because i need to get used to it. i ran a 7.10 1/8mi @ 104 and a 10.85 @129 1/4mi. i think i can get a 10.30 out of it after i get used to it.

ROFL didn't we already go through this?

My suggestion would be to start leaving at 3,000RPM's and then bump it up a coupla hundred til you either wheelie or spin (or both) and then back it down a notch. Experiment and do what works best for you and your combination - there's no way anyone can tell you what that will be til you get some seat-time.

im leaving at about 6000 and letting the clutch out smoothly and quickly while rolling wide open. i try to be clutch out and wide open at around 15 feet or so. next time im going to try 7-8000 and see what i get. i didnt have any traction or standing up issues so ill just keep working on it until i see where the sweet spot is.
