Not according to one of the masters.
Watch this.
Yes. But. A 14R is 1441cc and your Gen1 is 1298. 14R w bolt-ons is making 200rwhp,your Gen1 is 160-170rwhp at best. 14R also has a shitload more torque then a stock Gen1.
Different horsepower/tq/powerband requires different launch strategies. Try 3500rpm,most likely the bike will stumble and you'll kill your ET.
From what I can recall,when my Gen1 was SWB and engine was stock I'd leave around 5500-6500rpm. Now,when my Gen2 was stock,if I left at that rpm I'd get a decent 60' but a shitty 330' cause it would wheelie hard. I adjusted the rpms lower and found that 4500rpm was good for me.
Trial and error. Everyone has different riding styles. Experiment with different rpm and make a mental note of which works best. Then strive to replicate that over&over until you are consistent. Just go slow and take your time. Trying out too many suggestions and following several peoples advice may overwhelm you.
Practice practice practice....if it were easy everyone would launch a bike like Rickey or Teasley
