Top Speed

higear223 · August 1st, 2014, 08:48 PM

I'm doing a track day in a few weeks and I've been trying to get the bike ready. I'm wondering what top speed I should be able to get with this setup and my 210 pound ass on the little beast.

YEAR:2008

INTAKE MODIFICATIONS: air box pulled K&N 0990 kleen air removed

EXHAUST MODIFICATIONS: Area P 12" stainless

JET KIT OR STOCK? jet kit

BRAND OF JET KIT? Dynojet

MAIN JET: 108

NEEDLE AND CLIP POSITION: 3rd

MIXTURE SCREW SETTINGS: 3 to 4 turns out

ELEVATION:400 ft

MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR BIKE’S JETTING SETUP:
Idles well, takes throttle well from idle, pulls well to redline. Plugs show a little lean mixture. What kind of top speed should I expect from this setup?

What say ye ninjette hive mind?

Stock gearing?

100 mph, give or take 2 or 3. (The speedo reads high for most, so if you do have a very long straight and a very strong running bike, it might nudge 108 or 109, but it will be reading high).

That's about what I thought.

I concur with Alex a Pregen on a good day in a tuck an indicated 110 MPH (I imagine officer

)

I'm thinking if your ass is 210 your belly is probably another 150, legs and arms, add another 150, 11 pound head, I think 80mph is your top.

not sure where you are tracking but I doubt your going to have enough track with a good enough run to top her out, especially if your new to the track. My brother is about your weight and bike is a bit more modded, makes well north of 30whp and on TWS (a high speed track with a hell of a good run out around the banking) JUUUUUSSTT barely tops 6th on stock gearing with a flat out run out of the last corner ....... bike trapped 102 verified FYI

sharky nrk · August 2nd, 2014, 11:37 AM

What track are you going to?

higear223 · August 2nd, 2014, 09:38 PM

Barber. Maybe not enough straight there to top out. Still ought to be interesting though.

NinjaZX6R123 · August 2nd, 2014, 10:29 PM

210lbs? My guess would be 95mph tops if lucky but looking at 90mph reasonably. The speedometer will read higher though.

Alex · August 2nd, 2014, 11:49 PM

It does kind of depend whether it's a "fluffy" 210, or a more aerodynamically configured 210.

My new gen tops out at 90mph...

I'd like to think aerodynamically.

The bike will do 95 indicated regularly so I guess I'm doing OK.
