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.
