Ran the bike last weekend at Moses Lake.  Made a quick trip over to run at the drags.  They had starting lights setup but no timing equipment.  Just heads up fun running.  They didn't get started until almost 8 Saturday night.  It got dark quick and I was only able or felt comfortable to make about 4 passes.  They did have a light plant setup shinning the down track but once you got far enough from it was pitch black.  And with no headlight on the bike and a puch of crazies running around I just parked it.

But the bike ran the best it ever has I feel.  Friday the bike was running horrible.  Tinkered with it for awhile and couldn't figure it out?  Down of power and was missing and popping real bad.  I thought it could have been a fuel issue because I switched over to run the bike on VPR.  Finally traced it too find out it was only running on 3 cylinders!!!!!!!!  Plug wire wasn't seated all the way.  Then it ran fine...  Only thing I can think is that we hooked up the launched controller and probably did something. 

Saturday morning we made a gearing change.  Went from a 60 to a 65 tooth.  Left the front at 13.  Readjusted the launch controller and it was ready.  Bike ran awesome on a few test passes.  Made a tire pressure change before the racing and it was dialed!!!!!!  Bike launched hard and straight.  Totally different bike now.  I love it even more!!!!! 

When we hooked up the launch controller I also change the clutch from a hydralic to a cable.  Had to use a perch with a micro switch to activate the controller at launch.  Right now the bike launches at 8500 rpm and hits the top end rev limiter at 10500 rpm.  I like the positive feel of the cable better than the hydralic.  I think I am gonna back down the launch rpms a little and adjust the tire pressure.
