    Hey Richie

    Today....I can finally say I used all that power.

    Maxed out 6th gear at 155 MPH (GPS detected) on the gixxah 600.

    That's all my bike's got with the terrible map, dragging pads, and +1 tooth in the rear sprocket.

    Re: Hey Richie

    Bleeding doesn't reduce dragging. It's the cleaning of the pistons.

    Just a subtle reference to Jimmy's past brake bleeding threads.

    I clean my pistons every other race weekend. I've got a piston that needs to be replaced & new seals.

    Stock gearing today and I hit 151. My forks weren't set at the right level for the axle either. Just adjusted it and my front wheel still isn't spinning freely. So I'll need to rebuild my calipers this winter.

    CBR made 113... But I'm still in the mindset of big power... 1000 made 196 and the S4RS made 142 (and 80+ ft. lbs. of torque...WOOT!)

    The 1000 is... to the hills...

    The S4RS is stock except for a Termigoni full system and Ducati race ecu.

    CBR is stock save for a Ti full system and a really good tune.

    I was just talking about the CBR. that's an optimistic dyno if that motor is stock

    I did sell it... but still have access to it. (you didn't really think I'd dump an extra $20k into a bike and let it completely get away from me, did you?)

    You probably don't want to tangle with that thing. It will make you want to light yours on fire...

    I'm pretty confident in the dyno. Wednesday bike?

    There's always the possibility that there's some power helpers that I'm not aware of. I didn't build the bike.
