My squid thread: Just how fast?

[Sixxxxer]

I cant help it when a car tries to rev at me or speed off thinking I cant catch them...It could be a fucking Yugo or a Lambo...I'll still race it...LMAO

165mph...06ZX10r....stock that thing flew and the Dunlop Qualifers were smooth are fucking hell. Once I put BT003s and did suspension work (including jacking up the rear) the thing would wobble at anything over 135mph.

My 600rr shakes over 140 with the race tires....I'm not sure how the AMA or the GP rider bikes get smooth over 140mph. Whenever I change to race tires and adjust the suspension the bike wobbles at high speed. Street tires never do.

It may be worth finding someone else to do your setup work. If anything the bike should feel more stable as speeds increase. My R6 felt like a missile at 160.

I've had it done by three different suspension guys. I mostly blame the tires though. Bridgestones are a hit or miss. 1 outta 3 isn't all that true. Besides race tires have a narrower contact patch upright than street tires as well as the bike becomes more unstable at higher speeds with the rear end raised.

My 600rr doesn't really wobble, but more like I feel the road and engine more. Kinda weird I guess. Its also not like the bike isn't stable, its just not as smooth.

140 indicated at the track but knowing the speedo on the SV it was probably more like under 130.

Sounds like your tires weren't balanced right. Or if they were takeoffs, maybe they got flat-spotted.

I saw an indicated 155 3 or 4x when I rode through Utah.
