Drag Racing for fun

[John Henderson]

So I took my stock 2015 bike drag racing in Gulfport MS and found out I suck but I have no experience other than that night doing so … Is this ok for stock gen 2 vmax?
Was running just 93 octane & Metzler 888 tires

My 2 best runs of 5 total that night… The stretched Hayabusa with racing modifications smoked me





Someone in stands sent me the video from different view of same video above



View of the line up area



I had some fun

You should be trapping much higher mph's even if your elapsed time is slow from a poor launch. The times you are are similar to what a decent running gen 1 would be. You should have MPH's in the 130's at least! Keep practicing and make sure you're using all of the throttle and not shifting too soon.

Yeah I only got 5 runs in before heading out. Still very new at it but felt like rpm restrictions were taking over way sooner and not really letting me get to red line so I started shifting at like 9kish or is that bad?
I really should get a ECU flash done to take the collar (muzzle) of the beast

Theres a menu option to change the RPM limit and shift light. Hold down the select and reset buttons and the menu will come up.

Yeah I have messed with that but I mean the factory limitations they seem to put on bike leaving factory

On my bike, when I first got it, I played with those. 9500, 10000, and 10500 were my selections. Mine would rev limit at the set limit I selected. I think yours may be selected at the 9500 limit. I have mine set at the 10000 limit.

Pretty sure this setting is for when you want light to come on to tell you to gear up and doesn't limit your rpms… correct me if wrong
