( olmek ) thanks for the like and make sure you save enough to send your head to larry c. to work your head, i will tell you till i got use to it i thought my nuts were getting sucked through the carbs i swear i could hear the air being sucked in there ;)i was wondering if you math whizzes out there know,i said i need to change gearing and tire so i have been looking into tires and the shinko 7" slick is 27-7-17 and the tire i have on now is around 24-7-17 so how many teeth on the rear wheel would it change?? i would think that it would change about 2 teeth mybe more i dont realy know.

EXACTLY :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:
Took me a season and a half to get the 1327 down to 6.15 in the 1/8 with no slick/bar with just a 3" over arm ,1st time my 19yr old daughter took it down the track with same combo after I worked the bugs out of it she ran a freaking 6.20 on the damn thing thing! F-ing kids! :sick: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :woohoo:
Of course if I was 5' tall and weighed 105 lbs Id be a freaking horse jockey! :woohoo:

That taller tire we'll hurt your short times getting it rolling,but should give you a little more on the big end.
Id try it with the same gearing and see what it does for you,then toy with the gearing as needed.
Changing too many things at once will leave you with more questions than answers. B)

Jeff,

Download this app and calculate it accurately. gearcalc

Get your ratios from you service manual and measure your tire circumference at the pressure you think you'll run it at. Or for now use Pi x diam.

Take a note book with you to the track and keep good notes and your time slips.

Like Jim said....keep changes minimal...make passes....make educated decisions from your notes.

I expect your cams are going to hold back the bike but by the same notion it should be rock steady once you get your gearing and shifting sorted out.

thanks you all for the input i think i will get the slick which is 3" taller that will give me 12mph + or - and get it hot. i need to do a better burnout for sure. will see from there. now for the time slip not real proud of it but at least it got down the track with out coming apart ;)

MPH is way low. Were you running out of gear? A hot stocker would have posted those numbers Jeff :unsure:
