If something does happen, I will be sure to post what the problem was so everyone can replace the weak link before adding NOS. Gunnie pig.
Toadstool,
It will interesting to see how it plays out with the nos kick. I kinda like go fast things myself.
What I have experienced myself so far as of late anyway is this. I went to the track last week for test and tune and my belt had loosened up some and when I hit it the belt was flexing and hitting my passenger foot peg which scare the crap out of me. It will come off now...That was on the first run out of 8 or so I made that evening. The bike was standing up in 1st and 2nd gear and grabbed pretty good. I am running at a 1/8th mile track. I also found out that my right leg front foot peg would fold up on launch and I did not have anywhere to put my foot down and my right hand was being pulled off the handlebar as it stood up. I need to work on holding on better. I was going to stop seeing how I did not have any tools with me but decided to try and feather some instead. After about the 4th pass the stock clutch started failing on the launch and clunk,clunk,clunk kinda sucks. This clutch is new for the most part and never gave me issues on the road where the tire roasted under any power and was the weak link. I am making about 130hp and 141tq and with full tire pressure the clutch does not hold when it gets warm. I was making one pass after the other at the end.
On my other passes when I feathered it off the line and then hit it, the bike just started spinning and when it grabbed the clutch would rattle under the load.
My transmission has already had the dogs changed out in it to help hold it in gear. Baker did this for me a while back. I can also say it has had 2nd,3rd 6th shift fork bearings and stuff I have forgotten about. I would think with the hard hit you bike is going to experience the main-shaft is going to take a pounding it the primary chain is not just right. Really I think it is going to take a pounding anyway. If you do not support the the engine to the transmission on the brake side, you are going to break your primary case anyway or be well on your way too as I will under the load of the launch. I have been working on designing one for our 4 1/8th motors but have not done as much as I should on it but I will make one soon.
Call Baker and talk to them and see what they recommend on beefing up your tranny up front instead of after the fact. Mine has been built twice prior to ever running it on a track and they changed out the dogs due to a study they did a while back.
I am looking to go to a chain drive and a new clutch system be it a Bandit or something else.
Have fun with it and hope to see it in action...
Shoot, I will even run against you given the chance..
Neil
