My main concern is, is there any tips you guys want to give me? setup? i know my tires def arn't the best for this but i'm not to serious as too where i need to purchase some slicks or anything but how do you thisnk my trac stars will hold up to a good asphalt beating?

how far your running and gearing need to put a tall gear on there so you are not wound like a banjo string 300 ft down the track and i would fatten up the top end a little more than you normally run

Yep...good point.

These bikes aren't geared to run WOT for 10 to 15 seconds....you need to go bigger up front, smaller out back or both....

I could launch a stocker in 3rd gear pinned on asphalt and wouldn't dream of that on sand or dirt...

i think it would only be 1/8 mile or maybe 1/4, i have a 15 tooth up front an i don't plan on running balls to the wall in 6th half the track, if it comes down to that i'll be at about half 3/4 throttle to keep the top end together

if your going to run 1/4 i would put 17 tooth on front any less gear and you will be toped out before the 1/8 th

if your running 1/8 mile and have 20 inch tires you would probally be good with a 16 on front and 38 on rear to start with. it depends alot on the traction you grab and how much your motor can pull.if your running a full 1/4 then you'll probally want a 17 on front and go from there.if your running the stock sprocket hub and its a 6 bolt then you can only go down to a 38 tooth sprocket on rear.if you run the older 4 bolt hub you can go down to a 37 on rear.also make sure you have the same air pressure in each rear tire as unequal pressure can cause you to be thrown sideways on the launch.if you do decide to buy some tires for asphault get american racers or hoosiers either one is a great tire.i run the hoosiers and they are my preference.for the front i run 10x4 rims with scooter tires.

thanks for the tips and keep em' comming. i picked up a 16t front as i figured i'll be running 1/8, one of my buddies told me to ratchet strap down the front/rear suspension for a better launch with les wheelies or something of that nature, i'm lookin into a set of the american racers an i've also been looking at a set of goodyear slicks, again thanks
