Title: Re: In the begining there was a FBR Chassis
Post by: TrackRat on August 13, 2012, 10:03:50 AM
they are just two stock batteries. When I had my 1441 it would not start when I had to go round robin. I put two batteries on it and it started everytime. I would rather carry the extra battery and know its gonna start everytime. The bike is still pretty light..

It's Alive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :moped:

Fired up and idles with no issues. I used shielded wire on the cam and crank sensors. Lesson learned from the AEM FIC...

I have a couple more things to finish up then I will focus on the paint work...

Best run after being out only three times 5.44 at 124 mph.  I still havent sprayed it yet. Cant make a full pass. I have a hard pull to the left I'm trying to get figured out. Dont wanna spray it until it goes straight.

Looks good Kevin. Got me by 2 hundredths on my best 60'...for now...

I'd check the offset alignment of the front and rear wheels. Might have a bit of an offset rather than being on the centerline.

May also e a weight offset issue.

Id check that the pegs are in teh same location left to right as well.

Put a pointer on your top clamp and throw a go pro or similar camera on it and you can see if you are fighting the steering the whole way or if something comes up.

yeah......I can't pull the wheel to left anymore. It will rub the chain. I have to see what can be done about the rear wheel spacing. It needs to come to the left some more. I may have to go to a 8 inch wheel.

Yeah I want to get my short time better before I add anymore nitrous. Still working on the clutch. I'm close. I'm looking for a 1.20 or better. I ran three 8.0 passes in a row so I can't really complain. Thats good enough to make top sportsman.

Thanks! It was a combination of things. Tire pressure, rear wheel alignment, and riding position. I had a bad habit of leaning to the left as I twisted the throttle( see photo). Now it goes straight. It seems the faster it goes the straighter it goes.


What was your sixty ft time at that 1/8th mile speed and et? 172mph is scary fast in the 1/8th. Lol
When I had a 100 shot on my bike I couldn't control it. Now it has a 50 on it and its working good for me. It would be nice to see a 4.90 pass. I don't think I wanna go any faster than that.

Yeah,  I dont think it needs to go any faster. I may dial it back a little. 7.8 is a bit much for T/S. I think I like the idea of a almost heads up race or me leaving first.

Post by: TrackRat on April 22, 2014, 06:25:16 PM
OK.....Time for an update!

This season I move up to the Mirock 4.60 class. The first race at Rockingham was rained out but I did manage to qualify with a 4.78, a new personal best for me. That was not good enough so I took the bike home and made some changes. I took the an amazing 36lbs off the bike. No more cooling system (15lbs+water) and no more heavy batteries (21lbs). I used DME block off plates and two 24 cell Earthx batteries. Yeah I know its a bit overkill on the cells but they only weigh 2.5lbs each. I rather have more than I need.  The cranking power is night and day compared to my old Fast By Gast batteries. Yes there was nothing wrong with the Fast by Gast batteries except the weight 10.5 lbs each.

With 36lbs off the bike and 10lbs off of me I should be right at 4.60! I'll post results after the race.
