this interests me too. i would do this if i had time. maybe soon. let us know how you go.

what are you expecting?

i'd be expecting low 12's for my 954 on my first go out there. maybe unreasonable but i'm curious

Re: 1/4 mile times

i wanna take mine to the track.. ive seen tables and they say that the 954RR is able to push mid to low 10's.. and the 600's are able to do like mid to low 11's

if this is true i dont know.. and how heavy of a rider again i dont know..

I think Aussie meant in his first try, he could achieve low 12.

k those bikes are capible of those times.. it would take lots and lots and lots of practice and experience to be able to get them that low but they are possible...

Re: 1/4 mile times

It is tough to get low times your first time out. I've been going to the track once or twice a year and have gone from 11.50s down to 10.80@130mph. Some mods were done in between, but I've gotten better at running it too. Not good enough yet; at my trap speeds I should be running low 10s.

I'd get the high-mount carbon fiber exhaust. My friend has the Devil on his F4i, it only gets hot as 90 degrees Fahrenheit, so even after all day riding, you can touch the can. Weighs around 5 lbs, amazing ground clearance.

Power commanders dont generally give you much more peak horsepower, but they will change the power curve considerably and give you substantially more usable power. I dont know what it would do drag strip wise, but on a circuit its a worthwhile mod.
