| miserable day, not a good day to learn a bike for the first time at all. about 10 times they had to shut down the track for breaks, leaks, crashes etc. 2 runs in all day lol totally stock bike, no strap, lowering tricks or anything.. two 11.0s @ 132mph airborne for almost all of the first half of the track haha      |

| Lots of fun...isn't it?
Not being critical but wanting to help you on your quest to faster times with the stock machine: Take a close look at the pictures (especially the first one) and notice how far back you are in the saddle. If you'll plant your boys firmly against the tank and cut the distance between your chin and the handlebars in half, you'll be able to launch harder and greatly reduce the wheelie tendency. |

| Great pics! I plan on racing mine when the season starts again in NY. I have the straps for the front already. Thinking of going with a extended swingarm, and electric shifter to help get into the 9's. |

oh yeah i know, i was already airborne and the run was shot, so i just wheelied the rest of the way...
i just sold a 06 636 that went 10.55s on motor and 10.25s on nitrous.
stretched slammed, strapped, etc.
so a totally stock height and length bike like this i wasnt trying very hard. |

| mate 11's on the back wheel is ok and good fun , but if you lifted the wheel early enough the 60' times will be triggered by the back wheel so may be up the creek... _________________ yes I am looking at you mmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

| Seen several of the Brissy guys run 10.3's stock / standard. 40psi / full height etc.
I know some like Bec have run in the 9's out of the crate, but the 10.3 / low 10's seem's a common time after a few run's. |
