yamahaha Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 "Search" doesn't seem to work for me if someone posted about a drag strip. I was out to a drag strip Friday night with relatives but not with my bike. I could have entered my bike for a few bucks. I was kinda cheesed off about it. I wonder how a stock 07 does in the quarter mile? Its too far away for a return visit anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruizin Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Funny, I just typed "Drag Strip" into the search, by clicking the search button up top, next to "recent Topics, and it pulled this page of results up https://www.google.com/cse?cx=012138640193593039075:u1a6ti0zd8m&q=drag%20strip&oq=drag%20strip&gs_l=partner.3...2833.4798.0.5432.10.10.0.0.0.0.220.1188.4j4j2.10.0.gsnos%2Cn%3D13...0.1923j456299j10..1ac.1.25.partner..10.0.0.6FXfcI0FQgw#gsc.tab=0&gsc.q=drag%20strip&gsc.page=1 Yamaha MT-10 ForumYamaha Tracer 900 Forum Yamaha Ténéré 700 Forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member howworkclutch Posted July 7, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted July 7, 2015 in the eighth it romps. not many bikes can get out the hole like the fz07. 1st to 2nd gear changes is where you kill them. in the quarter: blah. top speed around 106mph. not really impressive. dont go to redline. shift earlier than that. the top end doesn't make any power so manipulate the rpm range so you land in the next gear at peak torque. i meant to try 2nd gear launches but the field of competition was so weak that i didn't bother. i was racing harleys. i won so often it was boring. -HowWorkClutch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Tried the 1/4 mile on the drag strip tonight. Did 17 runs. My best time was 12.457 sec. @ 106mph, reaction time 0.688 sec, 60ft in 1.871 sec, 1/8 mile in 7.876 sec @ 89 mph I have a motocycle guide where they have it at 12.4 sec @ 106 mph, I'm right on target ! most of my runs were in the 12.5xx sec 1st 2 gears pulls really hard, a couple of time I was in front of big sports bike. But it's hard to keep the front wheel down when you release the clutch. It was only my second time, tried it last year with my other bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
