i took my k6 750 to the drag strip, i got a best of 10.87 @130.64 with a 1.91 60'. my best 60' of the day was 1.87. a little disappointed with the mph, but the more i ride the faster it will go. very hard to launch the bike with a long first gear.:cheers

Nice times, anyone take their 600 to the track yet?

Wow thats good times....can't wait to take my 06 600

ive been wanting to take mine, but they changed our local track to nhra and they have gotten ALOT sticker on bikes running there. one of the new rules being you have to have a kill switch attached to you if you are trapping over 100mph... im not drilling a screw in my kill switch to run it at the strip...

there is another track a little farther away ive been trying to get to, but just have had the time.

i would like to know what someone has gotten out of a 600 though.

Totally hear ya man. My local track requires a tether switch. Hell no, I'm drilling a place for the switch. I did it to my old bikes, but my new one ain't getting one. I did get a chance to run my K6 750 1/4 run on a deserted road, and I consistently ran high to mid 10's with a best of 10.5@139. Those are just approximites. Fuckers are hard to launch!

how is it keeping the front wheel down on the 750? i'm not sure how the powerband is because i dont have mine yet, but you have any problems with throttle control or do you have to slip the clutch to get the wheel up?

i know on my 600, i can full throttle it in first gear, and i only get a hint of the wheel skipping the ground around 15-16k, and she jumps a little if i shift hard into second. i know the 750 would be different, but im just wonder if the 600's are going to be easier to launch? i havent even tried to launch mine.

also, i heard alot of the k5 1000 guys burning out their slipper clutches (atleast locally, about 5 different guys i talked to). im guessing the k6 600/750's may have the same problem? im not into drag racing, and she definately wont be a drag bike, but i would like to get it out there just to see where she stands.

The k6 750's are a tad bit easier to keep front end down than older 750's because swing arm is slightly longer, rider position pushed forward, longer 1st gear and slightly lower seat height. You definetely can't give her 100% throttle in 1st and be very careful in 2nd when drag racing. My front can be easily provoked up in 3rd and 4th has to be clutched for wheelies.

thanks for the info, i like to keep the wheel on the ground

ok, my trap speed on my bike was showing 142 at the track which equals out to a real speed of 131, bike was not so hard to launch as it was waiting for the full power to arrive. if i can leave the line and ride the clutch around 8k i should get in to the 1.7 60' range and run around 10.4-10.5 @ 136 mph. i did go full throttle in all the gears its just first is so long i am waiting on the power. if i can leave real aggressive then i might have to worry about the wheel coming up and then i will strap it. my goal is 10.5 with no mods, not even lowering it or strapping the front end. i guess we'll see as i have two drag strips within a half hour from me(norwalk and dragway 42)

anybody else go to the track yet?

Nice run man

rob, when are you shifting? i'm assuming you've seen the dyno plots and arent running the gears completely out?

i prob shifted around 14k, not 100% sure but it was around there

went to the track(norwalk,ohio) tonite and went a best of 10.50@134.03 with just a -1 sprocket change, the 60' was a 1.81 and the 1/8 was a 6.89@110.54. the bike is completely different with the sprocket change, i was into fifth gear at the traps, and i shifted at redline almost everytime it seemed to be the fastest way

Sounds great, looks like the sprocket change made a solid significant change. Would you say the bike was easier or harder to get out of the hole? Obviously it was faster to 60' but was it a major handful? or easier to launch from the shorter gearing? Also, can u remember approximately what you were launching at? Thanks for all the help.

easier to launch and i was at 6k still any harder i pulled the tire, only difference is that when u hit the powerband it comes up alot faster(wheelie) hurry up and put some miles on that bike!!!!!!

anybody else drag race?

I just ran at the track for the 1st time on my k6 600. My best time was 11.67 but I only got to run 3 times. I am sure I can do better than that. I was a bit disappointed. My track requires you wear leather padded pants if you run over 120 mph which I don't have so I had to leave after the 2nd warning! oops!

I took my stock 06 600 to the track and my best was an 11.3 at like 128..I was consistently running low to mid 11's, but I had to get off it at the end because of the leather pants rule if you trap above 130. Im almost positive I couldve touched a 10.90 if i could go full throttle the whole 1/4.

here is my 1/4 slip from the first time I raced my '06 600. Before anyone says "Wow, what a crappy time...", this was my first time ever racing a bike at the 1/4 mile. I had raced cars many times, but first time on a bike (it really is a totally different beast). Also, yes I was racing a busa, yes I won, yes the guy had no clue how to ride his bike (if he had, he should have easily beaten me on a 600 and my first time at the drag strip with it).

So with me sitting at a mid 11 with no clue what I was doing on the thing, I should be able to get it down into the 10's fairly easily. All of my mods are listed in my signature (yes, I know I should be much faster than I am, I am still learning).

i used to take my K5 750 down all the time (only mods were K&N filter ,yoshie bolt on titanium TRS and PC3 dyno'd at 132 rwhp) and not strapped or anything and my best was a 10.76* for the 1/4

my K7 750 i have only taken down once (only mods BMC filter,Full micron GP system,PC3, dyno'd at 136 rwhp) not strapped or anything ,rear tyre pressure 40psi cold and no burnouts to warm tyres

did 21 runs in one night worst being 10.978 and the best being 10.576
got a shit load in the 10.6's

OK so i have a gixxer 600 and i wanted to know wat is considered to be a good launch? I mean can ya'll define a good launch for a 600 and at wat rpm it is possible..

the RPM you launch at all depends on how much you weigh, what is done to the bike, track conditions, weather and the price of tea in china... Instead of telling you a magic RPM to launch at (I would just be blowing smoke up your ass if I did), I will tell you to try different things until you find something that works for you... Work on getting your 60' times down into the 1.7 range and you will be launching pretty well.

but if you would prefer the smoke blowing and just want a number... 8496

i went to a track in rusk texas yesterday and i was having some problems and on motor only i ran a 10.012 for my first every 1/4...bike wasnt shifting every well/runnin...

bike is an 04 750

What is done to your motor???

robs gsxr 750...have you ever been to the track in marion, ohio? last year my first time ever at the track my best time was a 10.51 @ 129mph 60 foot was a 1.66...bike was lowered, strapped and scorpion pipe...i weigh like 135lb with my gear on

I've had by 97 750 out at the track a few times... I've made about 25 passes or so total... At New York International I ran a best of 10.92 @ 128 and managed to pull a 133mph on a pass (spun through first)... Now I live in California and I've been running at Fontana with a best of 11.23 at 126. Elevation and grade make a pretty significant difference. Check out a couple of videos of my uncle and I racing...

I went a 10.47 on my girls 06 600. Its lowered, strapped, -2 and a jardine pipe.

What is done to your motor???

air shifter, powercommander, -2 in the front, 812 big kit w/ 750 block and head all done by rc performance and that is w/o the nitrous i have a big shot on the bike but havent used it yet...my best on all motor is 6.132 in the 1/8...the motor is build for nitrous it could go faster on the motor if we change some things put but then it would work as well on the juice...we lowered the compression and everything on the bike...and i use a yosh exhaust.

I went a 10.47 on my girls 06 600. Its lowered, strapped, -2 and a jardine pipe.

that's an amazing run with only those mods...

what you got done to that thing? thats pretty good numbers on the back in, considering your 60 was shitty...( sorry not try to be mean or ne thing) by the way, no one has said it, but you should be mid to high 60's on your 60 (quicker with lots of experiance) so thats what you should shoot for. and remember that if you front is in the air at the beam then its gonna read the back wheel.

i feel you on the rules, the track here wont let us run through the 1/4 without full leathers now. so basically this racing season cost all the little guys and extra grand.

stock k7 750

10.486 @ 216.16kmh

I took my k7 600 yesterday and my best was 11.1@126 with a 1.9 60 ft. and my second best was 11.2 @127 with a 2.0 60ft. My traps were 1mph higher after I folded the mirrors back!! I averaged 11.3 the whole day. My first launch was my best and I couldn't figure out how to do it again!

my ole girl did a 10:51@124mph bone stock

went to the track the first time! got through 1st and as soon as I shifted to 2nd I hit 88mph. then all these lightning bolts came from outa nowhere, and all of a sudden I was riding my gixxer in 1955. weird..

Try this tethered kill it's $65 at Schnitz easy to install about 10 min and looks good and works better.

i know on my 600, i can full throttle it in first gear, and i only get a hint of the wheel skipping the ground around 15-16k, and she jumps a little if i shift hard into second. i know the 750 would be different, but im just wonder if the 600's are going to be easier to launch? i havent even tried to launch mine.

I have a k5 600 and 7. For the 1/8th, their both exactly the same setup other than gearing. If i was stock wheelbase i would say that the 6 would be easier. Being stretched, other than my e.t.s i cant tell a difference between the two.So dont think theirs a big handicap. As ive been learning SEAT TIME. :cheers

I Have A 2007 Gsxr 600 With Full Yosi Trc, Pc3, Bmc Race, -1+2 And My Best Time Is 10.61@ 131.12. Over The Weekend I Add Some Stacks, Barnett Clutch, 520 Conv. And A Custome Map Hope To Go 10.5.

that's a darn good time for that bike...

my buddy ran his 07 all stock and height and ran a 10.56 1/4 with a 1.63 60'ft.. seat time an 60'fts will get that 1/4 time down!

good luck!

u dont need to drill a hole into ur kill switch .. just get the tether kit an un-do the screw under the bottom of ur kill switch and find the orange/white wire and wire in the switch! bout a 15min installation and ur set!

i have only been to the track once but on my 07 600 i went 10.7 at 128 lowered, straped, -1, and slip on. was a crappy day at the track so im looking for 10.5 or 10.4' next time

1.63 60ft stock ride height and wheelbase G1K?

If it's true, it's very very impressive, though honestly I cannot see it happening.

a 1.63 60' is possible. A good hard launch, slip the hell out of the clutch, trail the rear brake... but that doesn't mean that his friend did it... I will believe it when i see a timeslip.

If he is capable of pulling a 1.63 60' on an all stock 600 then he needs to be going pro... but then again, he never said his buddy was on a 600...

I guess I am just a non believer. i don't see any super Sport bike going 1.63 at stock ride height and wheelbase.

I can see a Busa/ZX-14/ZX12 doing it, but not a superSport.

There is just too much bullshit in dragracing. People post sick times and say it was "all stock" when the reality is stock is what it was on the dealers floor, and what they are running is a lowered/longer/piped/mapped/geared/thinner headgasket/different cam bike...lol

1.5 or 1.6 60ft is definitely within range depending on the rider. Now if you are talking 1.3 or 1.4 60fts you better have Rickey Gadson or Lee Shierts as a jockey

I have never seen anyone get into the 1.60's 60ft's with a stock wheelbase stock ride height super sport bike.

Not ever.

I am no pro drag racer, but I have been to the track plenty.

1.4's 60fts? thats a very well setup sport bike for drag racing.

Numbers don't lie, but people often do.

1.4 60 ft, stock height/wheelbase, factory stock, not going to happen, don't care who is riding. Well, maybe with a wheelie bar..... But that would not be stock either!

man 1.63 stock...then i suck big time!

it took me lowered strapped stretched to cut 1.58.

I went 9.44 @ 150 with a 1.68 60ft last night.

Thats on a streached and slammed 02 G1K, with a lock up.

1.60's on a stock super sport? I just don't see it.

I am not saying no one in history has ever done it, but it's not even close to the norm.

generally if you are riding a stock super sport, when you get into the 1.70's you are doing it right.

1.68 with a lock up? :dunno
I've been mid 1.6s on my 750 when it was stock wb, and Im not that good of rider.

I ran my k7 600 for the first time this weekend. I got the bike about 2 months ago...first street bike ever. I started with 11.9 @ 124mph and got it down to an 11.2 @ 126mph with a 2.0 60'. My goal was 10's but that was probably a bit lofty for the first time at the track.

Here is a vid...
http://myspacetv.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=40069754

I went a 1.66 60ft on my 05 GSXR750 road race bike as well.

Stock motor/wheelbase/clutch with full akro and pc.

It was slammed as low as I could get it.

Ran a best of 10.28 @ 134 on it.

I have been 1.60 twice on a customers lowered longer 07 G1K.

I have not seen anyone ever run in the 1.60's on a STOCK supersport.

Maybe someone has done it, but I believe the poster was full of shit to put it bluntly.

My 1.68 60ft on the 02 drag bike was my first ever pass on that bike. I expected a bit better, but it was what it was. I would never lie about a time I ran.

People in drag racing always try and down play what was done to their bike to make the numbers seem better. It has went on forever, and will go on forever. It's all hype.

If you get into the 1.7's 60ft's on a stock super sport you are doing your job as a rider. If you want a lower ET, start modding the bike.

Lowering it (ALLOT) will get the MOST gain for the MONEY spent.

Lower the rear three, raise the forks an inch and a half, and put a strap on them to lower them the rest of the way.

Run 40 to 45 psi in the front tire, and AS MUCH AS YOU CAN IN THE REAR WITHOUT IT SPINNING and thats it.

Thats the biggest bang for the buck in drag racing.

take at least a tenth off your 60ft times, and at least 3 tenths off your 1/4 times. All for maybe $300 retail.
