1/4 MILE TIME?????? XB12R Race ECU & Race Kit
any one know i was told 10.2

 

[yellow50]

that seems awful low. I think the XBs are closer to about 12 seconds.

10.2, not a snowballs chance in "you-know-where".
Stock they'll do an 11.4x but keep in mind that is with a pro rider and is corrected to sea level. With the race kit and an average Joe riding it I would venture to say a high 11 to low 12 is very do-able. If you're good you'll be in the mid-low 11sec range. Of course, this assumes you're not at a high altitude. Altitude will drastically affect ET's.

Don't underestimate how difficult it is to get a bike out of the hole, especially one with a really short wheelbase like the Buell. The first 60' is where the good times come from and that's what REALLY separates the truely great from the "just average".

If you have an 1/8 mile track near you they are a GREAT place to practice launching as you can normally get in a lot of runs in per night.

last year i ran an 11.24 that was the best ive gotten out of her.

11-12's range is what I have always heard. 10's on a 1125R/CR, XB you are going to need a turbo kit or a whole lot of eng work, one or the other. [up]

best i could get out of the ame bike same stuff was [email protected],it is a hard bike to drag with a short wheelbase,even getting it off the line without fliping it backwards it lifted straight up 1/2 track when the power of the race pipe peaked. i would love to get it in the 11s but without building up the motor and stretching it i dont think so. people talk about turbos or n.o.s but all that will get you is over backwards faster.

I'm thinkin with a wheelie bar and a really cool flamin suit and some joe dirt buttrock music on the ipod, an xb12r should do something like a 3.7 sec pass.

you'd have alot more fun doing 1/8th mile =)

 

[keisersozae]

12.10 is my best. I wish I would have never run it. Sucks to know how slow it is. My last bike was faster but not as much fun.

 

[mowgoli84]

I know what you mean. When I go to the strip in the summer, sometimes I take both of my bikes. I run 12's and on my K i run mid to high 10's.

I usually stick to 1/8 mile runs on the buell.

Funnest part about running the buell is coming out of the launch =)

[chevnut55]
