What's the circumference on the new tire with 10lbs in it?

Between the wrong gearing and the 60' time, there's an easy .8 seconds passed by that yielded no forward momentum Jeff. Once you get that sorted she'll come around for you. That should be a rock steady 10.4 bike all day long, even with the small cams. Just the kind of a bike you can potentially take home the money with and not even come close to hurting it

LERRY I DONT KNOW WHAT THE DIAM. OF THE TIRE WILL BE WITH 10 POUNDS THEY ONLY SAY 27" -7-17. I AM WITH YOU ON THE GETTING BETTER LIKE I SAY IT SPINS THE TIRE IN 1-2 AND THE SHIFTING THING IS ALITTLE OFF. I NEED TO GET THE AUTO FIGURED OUT OR PUT A SHIFT LITE WHICH I HAVE JUST NOT SURE HOW TO WIRE IT?? I KNOW I LOST A SEC. SHIFTING TO SOON ECT. THE MOTOR IS VERY CRISP THE WHOLE WAY. ( LES ) THE CARBS WORK GREAT ALSO I TORE THEM APART CLEANED THE REAL GOOD A BUDDY OF MINE LOOKED AT THE JETS SAID THAT THE ONES IN THEM WILL WORK OUT JUST GREAT I AM GLAD I GOT THEM FROM YOU. TO TELL THE TRUTH I DIDNT CARE WHAT IT RUN THE FIRST TIME OUT I AM JUST GLADE IT GOT DOWN THE TRACK AND BACK TO THE PITS WITHOUT ANY TROUBLE OTHER THAN THE AUTO. I THINK I WILL PUT LIKE A 4500 CHIP IN IT AND RUN IT DOWN THE ROAD NORMALY AND SEE IF IT GOES THROUGH THE GEARS. IT MITE WORK I THINK THAT WHEN I WAS RACING IT I WAS LEAVING THE HOLE AT 5500 - 6000 THE CHIP I HAD IN IT WAS A 8000 LEAVEING THE LINE AND SPINNING IT MITE HAVE SHIFTED IN 2ND AND I DIDNT REALIZE IT SO THEN I LOST COUNT ???? ANYWAY LERRY I HOPE THAT 10SEC. COMES THAT WOULD BE GREAT. AS I SAID ALL A LONG I BUILT THIS TO HAVE FUN AND I HIT IT ON THE NOSE HAD A BLAST THANKS TO ALL OF YOU FOR THE HELP I WISH YOU ALL COULD TAKE A BLAST ON IT.

i ride my orange bike to work alot it sits out front well it cought the eye of another guy with a kaw and here it is he says its a 74 z1 had motor problems so he put a 1015 with 1170 kit in it wants the wheels painted the same as the bike thought you would like to see it this is one i have never seen in town before i guess there is more of them than you think sitting in sheds ect. this is a very nice bike chrome everything i would love to have it

well its been awhile figured i check in. about 2 weeks ago we went to the track they were running 1/8 mile that weekend figured it would run pretty good with the gearing i had, so off we went.did run to bad heres the slip

there was around 50 bike that day some people from mich. rented the track. there was 7 of us and we were the only white people there let me tell you them boys know how to put on a race that track hasent seen that much action in along time some bad ass cars too.i entered the money class the other class was street bikes no casters ect. noing i didnt have a chance but it was what it was.i made it to the 3rd round and got my ass handed to me but happy to make it that far. the ones i beat where crutch rockets. then all i seen was a 10" tier go past. last night we went back up this time 1/4 mile i havent got the slick yet waiting till winter.so i took the sprocket off the orange bike and put it on this one i had a 15 on and i put a 17 on figured that would help,first run was a bad one just getting the feel for it. 2 runs later i ended up with a milestone for me a 10s

man did that feel good the gear change made a big diff. i ended up with this one for the night

i could have ran more but it was about 2 hours between rounds alot of cars.i think if i would have stuckaround i could have got 10.50 well anyway figured a would show the progress so far

Keep chipping away at it youll get there,biggest tghing is getting it to run consistant on your number.
Definately doing much better though!

Getting there

Hi Guys,

Funny this should come up and especially since it's the first time I've looked at this site in a while. I got a call from a guy in Kentucky last week. He just bought a bike and the best I can tell it's this bike.....

Seem's like that on all the KZ/Kawasaki site's.
It's ok to chop one up and build a fuckin bobber/rat bike out of
a KZ but lord don't build a drag bike that see's track time.

ZX1441R,com, ZRXOA.com. and Psychobike.com are were I go for drag racing shit.

I just hate bobbers!
Even the word bobber sounds gay to me.
Drag bikes are cool. This is mine.
