Ross, My best is a 11.282 @ 121.39 with a 1.84 60'. Very shitty 60' time due to a "DD" mod! Trying to learn how to launch. Two pro's have confirmed that with a very low 1.7 60', I should be in the tens. One of my passes, I bogged bad and STILL trapped at 120.48 mph with a 1.98 60'. I think to

Stan I agree w/ you. But I have a kerker so I am biased. More proof is at Terry's site. How many bikes in the 120+ RWHP club have Kerker's ?? How many have Hindle's ?? BTW I'll be in the club as soon as i get off my duff and scan in my dyno runs.

Does anybody know why Yamaha doesn't want to change the Vmax's carburetor system into a fuel injection? Carbs are easier to produce and higher profit. Too much time on investment and not enough return. Everybody buys them and never complains. Look a the R1 and R6. You raise enough hell

That would be using new technology, post 1950, the Vmax engineers don't believe in things like fuel injection, non flexing frames, radial tires or any of that stuff. They also still use slide rules and abacus's. - Original Message - From: Kelly Cash [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: V-MAX TECH LIST
