Took my '03 Xb9s to the somewhat local drag strip (St.Thomas Dragway about a 2hr ride).. My best for the night out of 8 runs was a 12.46..
wow old thread,
Posted my best on another thread but was:
Almost 2 years ago i ran a 12.03 at 112mph with a 1.98 60ft. Had the whole airbox and filter OFF on a cold night running 110 race gas.
Ran it a couple weeks ago with 93 octane, and entire filter and air box ON and my best run was 12.32 at 110mph and a 2.03 60ft.
Ok, can someone help me here. I've seen U-Tube videos of Buell's getting off the line and they sound like they're sorta bogging it out of the hole. When I road raced (125GP and BOTT) when the light goes green I pinned the throttle and feathered the clutch till it was all the way out, at that point I'm topped out in first , bang secong and I'm gone. Am I missing something here? Wayne
I'm assuming some people would like too keep their clutch functional
LOL Dave, granted I went through a clutch or two;)
i have a 04 xb12R and i usually run about 11.90s with it... once in a while an 89 or 88... i have open air box tuned with ecm spy on a buddys dyno and then a Latus pipe... works pretty good and the latus is by far the best sounding pipe out there...
anywho... i have a buddy that lives right here in town with a 2003 xb9s kinda customed out with pretty much the same mods as my 12, same pipe open air box and ecm spy and he can actually keep up with my 12 no problem.... once in a while i even get beat... in my opinion the 9's are pretty much just as fast as the 12's a little more grunt and thats about it and once there tuned there pretty much even cause the 9 revs higher and quicker...
Well I will start off by saying the bike is a 2003 XB9r. It has the race kit and that is it for performance. I weigh in at 180, and with the bike we totall out a 630 lbs, and that is with 1 gallon of fuel. Also I was running 110 octane temp was 65 deg.
Best.

Interested in your full times on 12's to compair with where I may have the upper and lower hand with a 9.
These are from my other Drag racing post but since this is seeing more action figured I would try tho throw this in to see what I get out of it.
thats how best times are achieved on street bikes ,, on the gas as soon as possible just above the bog point or slight bog...watch how some of these paid factory riders get numbers for vmax or busa v65 or any bike ...like they bogged out of the hole with no tire spin....need close to 100 hp to run low 11.sPosts: 137

so my 12 is slower than your 9 so far xtremelow.
im going tonight to hopefully change that.
more slips to be posted tomorrow!!!!
I hope tou guys arent buming out on those low 12 times,as the are pretty good considering there coming out of a air cooled v twin with epa legal cams,and covered with all the street legal gadgets.Another thing to consider is when motorcycle mags do quarter mile tests,its not done in the methods of the past.they used to use a small rider like pee wee gleason and take a trip to a drag strip an let him do run after run until the best time or sometimes 3best times were achieved, and publish it.Here in the gadget age ,they use instruments, bike mounted and calibrated to final drive ratio,and triggered by the speedo send ing pulse.there is no reaction time involved,no light,so the et is reflecting the performance of the bike with the lightest rider they can mount on it.the 750 kaw triple ,stock, ran in the low 12s ,but was the only street legal production bike to do so for ten straight years.Dont worry be happy,and happy holidays
