If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

any suggestions on sprocket choice for the 1/8 mile hopieng to start in 2nd to miss the chance of getting neutral with big revs :oops: want do you reckon riding a 1199 efe decent cams ect wisco slugs HELP
 
Search posts by Racingjake. He's done alot of 1/8 mile racing and talks alot about sprockets in the archives.
 
I'd install a 14T upfront and 42T rear and go from there. If traction is not a problem then I'd start increasing the rear sprocket more.

Use a tie down strap also.

Good Luck
 
Jake, how much is tying the front end down worth? I made some brackets to do this so I hope to try it out today. Mike J
 
Maybe a tenth or 2.

Should help RT and ET cause if the bike starts to wheelie on you the only thing you can do is back off the gas. The more gear you throw at the rear the easy'er it's going to wheelie at the start and down the track in 2nd & 3rd gear so strap it down, plus it lower the front too.

You want to slip the clutch at the start and be hard on the gas all the way down and the faster you get to WOT the better so straps help alot.

rather strap the front can i slip the forks up/down thru the triple clamps
 
This is priceless, if not running any type of outboard support then just 10 bucks worth of steel will work too. Once you cross over to slicks and bars your going to wish you had one or the other.

Lowering will not work as well as strapping. It will lower the center of gravity the same, but it will not prevent wheelies as well.
