...Ricky Gadson ran a 9.30 on a bone stock ZX14 yesterday and after they bolted on a 6" over swingarm and a pipe he ran an 8.35...still on a stock motor!

Reading your post, ...then your signature makes me think of a Zen koan.

Pretty impresive. That's the same guy who ran high 9's on a stock '05 R6 right? Didn't he just lower it and change the gearing a bit?

I guess this guy might know what he's doing, or just experimenting with new idea's and they work out.:dthumb:

Yep, same guy. He was running low 10's with a stock R6, then lowered it and changed the gearing by 1 tooth and got it down to 9.9x.

That's pretty impressive... got any more info on that Larry?

I think 9.30 on a bone stock KAwi has the busa beat....for this year anyway..

:readng: Checking on the power to weight ratio and for some reason this time Can't be put down w/o some mod:nonod: 8.35 on stock motor:doh:

I'm still wondering where this rumor came from!?

I guess larryg will have to tell us next time he logs on and looks at this thread.:2cents:

Yeah but most of those specs haven't been proved or dis-proved!

 

[gixxer1333]

:scratch: True, but from experience in squezzing as much out of a motor as possible, there is no equation that would work out to reach such times. Not even a Busa.:nonod:

 

[fastbaill2004]

Larry? Larry where are you. you start this thread, get a debate going and you are no where to be found. tell us where you heard the rumor....

:damn: :rant: Don't you hate when people do that!!

 

[jeeps84]

:yikes: WOW That is impressive. But he seems to be able to get numbers out of bikes nobody else can.:crazy:

 

[DLIT]

Yeah, I think that R6 was in a magazine at one point.

 

[larryg]

Sorry guys...I did a little research and it seems he ran a 9.37 stock (possibly lowered a little) and more like a mid-8 with a 6" over swingarm, tire, pipe, and air shifter. I heard the rumor when my sales manager got a call from a buddy of his that was at the track watching it happen and then I found some more details on another forum.

Either way, this is very good news for Kawasaki and very bad news for Suzuki
