This line of chatter has probably been over and over nearly as much as tires and oil....
But here are the results of my best run at the local 1/4 mile dragstrip. I have road raced smaller bikes for many years but always sucked at the starts. Nothing has changed! And launching a liter bike hard is something I had NEVER done. So don't expect any great numbers here. Just a guy having fun and trying not to land on his back.
2014 FZ1
16t front sprocket
K&N air filter
Delkevic(sp??) slip on with EXUP removed
Flashed ECU by Vcyclenut included the 1st and 2nd gear nanny eliminate
I'm 6' 205lbs in my birthday suit
Rode it to the track so all the street stuff stayed. (I'm 4 miles from Lucas Oil Dragway. My house shakes when the top fuelers run!)
ET 11.248
MPH 129.03
R/T .459
60' 2.194
1/8 7.488
1/8 MPH 104.64
1000' 9.518
It is amazing how hard this thing is still pulling after 1/4 mile! A couple times I just used some of the 1/2 mile slow down and kept it pinned. Was still accelerating with 135 showing on the speedo when I clamped down on the binders. A fun/cheap night for $30 bucks! (did it two different times, 4 runs each night so $7.50 a run, get a slip with all your numbers that DIDN'T come from a cop!) Next summer some practice starts on a lonely empty road somewhere..... Then I'm back to get into the 10's and the 130's.
