I have given you part of the answer. We have around 900 passes on the asphalt with quads, but what do I know. Have some patience Grasshopper; going fast takes time, effort and experience.

If I'm going to help out, I will share it with everyone. Too many people want information, but do not want to provide any information. I could care less about your times, if you are happy with them that's all that matters. You fail to realize, the time slip holds the key information for tuning your quad!

SlowerThanYou Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 (edited) oooooooook what you want to know? Have you done what already has been recommended? Adjustable rear strut with LH & RH rod ends/heim joints and would like to see it on the fronts also. We prefer marvin shaw shocks up front over struts, but have used both. You need to change you gearing, but the 17 tooth is too big. Unless you are not providing your true mods to the quad. 36 PWKs sound pretty big for nothing supposedly done to the motor.

drag+6blaster Posted July 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 UPDATE changed the rear strut length. Seen some improvement when test launching on the highway. But got rained out so.... I can't compare highway to a VHT prepped drag track. will give track update when i get there. Thanks SLOWERTHANYOU got to really thinking about the swingarm angle,, and i think I understand what you mean and what it does even with the strut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loosen 2 jam nuts and twist either way for your adjustment. A 1/8" in either direction can make a big difference. Now you need to work on the sprockets. The 13 tooth is part of your problem also.

sleeper06 Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 Get a lockout clutch and tune it like a 2-step,if your clutch is set it and forget it you become consistant.I also learned a hell of a lot from slower than you.If not for him I would still be trying to slip a lockout out of the hole.I get to the line hold it wide open and dump the clutch and let the lockout do its thing,my 60ft times are in the 1.4s now which affects the whole run.If you dont want 2 do a tranny do a shift kill button so you dont have to use the clutch,staying on the pipe is a big deal.I allways launch in first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL! Drag Blaster, you went from one extreme on the front sprocket to the other. IMO 17 tooth is too much for that motor. BK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
