Title: GEARING MY R1 FOR FIREBIRD EAST??
Post by: MATTHEW SMITH on April 04, 2002, 03:23:15 PM
I'M USING STOCK GEARING NOW AND CURIOUS TO KNOW WHAT COULD BE IMPROVED BY ANY CHANGES. ANY HELP WOULD BE COOL.

The stock gearing is going to be tooooooo tall.  I ride an r-1 on the street, but have ridden Firebird East on it.  Stock gearing is way too tall.

Come on you aint topping out that bike at firebird? I use to drag my stock zx-10 there and would pull 130 mph from a standing start!And that's only 1/2 the straight.

I couldn't top the R-1 out on the straight @ firebird east because there is a chicane in the middle of it.  I rarely get to use 4th gear!  Firebird east is a 600 or 750 track, hands down.  Firebird East is a ROADCOURSE, not a dragstrip.  The dragstrip is at the main track.
