    Sorry I thought someone was running a CBR250, my bad... lol at least you know what time you have to beat on your k1.

    What times did you end up running?
    ...Full throttle till you see god, then brake.

    Yeah I have taken my ZXR400 there. Can't remember the times exactly but around 13.3 as far as I do remember.

I do this until the engine starts to make decent power. Takes a lot of bike time to get it right. Practice at every set of lights that's what i did for a week.

    Also Start to get moving on last orange get your feat up asap and tuck in behind the screen.

    I was on a 1998 CBR900RR ran 11.00 flat first night which i thought was good.
    yea i did some research and found factory that bike shuld run a 10.6 so 11 flat is mean

    my gsxr factory shuld run 10.1 so with 60,000kms i geuss 10.6 aint to shabby
