Not sure on numbers. Just a tune i had for stock ram air with headers and tailpipe konrad did a long time ago. Id assume its around 150 160 sq atleast. It moves pretty good on seat dyno

Thanks
I'm in favor of front end being lower but would think lower resistance in front shocks to allowing front to raise to maximum lift before wheelieing would make for best loading of rear tire. and then allowing front to settle down lower would reduce wind resistance effect. Have a productive weekend, keep learning.Changes for this weekends races. Dropped front end, put on my 130/70zr/16 and lowered the bike 20mm by pushing fork tubes up. The front suspension is definitely loaded now, leaving only 2in of travel left in forks, i can still strap the front if needed, front is .75in lower now then the rear, hoping to improve 60’ and launch with this adjustment. Ive been running stock height and a tall 130/90/16 that made the front wanna pop up and it was hard to battle that. Front is down 3in over stock now, it should make front end harder for this stock engine to lift. i have set rear shock sag to .75in and softened my rebound settings for slow speed and fast speed to very slow, and shock is set to shortest height. Unladeden shock is 12.58 eye to eye. Tire pressure on rear seems to be best on these prepped tracks set now to 26psi feels best, no spin at launch but a little spin at top of 1st and 2nd. Going with K&N extremes and carpenter trumpet, hoping for better performance than open throttle bodies and headers. Midrange felt down last week running open headers and tbs but top end it was singing. Shift light is on for this weekend so hopefully that helps. Installed race shifter. I think the bike will run 125mph @ the 1/4mi track and high speed stability shouldn’t be an issue with this current settup. Lowering my 230# in the corbin race seat may be a good change.

It's the bags, I experimented quite a bit.Thanks Gerald, i appreciate it. Im really not sure of these changes but im as low as i can ( without strapping or getting fork end handles ) go so only be adjusting one direction if its bad
If you need to go faster I can tow you behind my bike.
Every pass is a learning experience, might keep a notebook to keep up with changes and thoughts, or a small recorder would be better and easier. This would allow you to review after things calm down, or the next day and won't have to think/remember the events and thoughts after you leave track.Thanks Gerald, i appreciate it.
