Gearing ?
« on: June 06, 2010, 04:03:10 PM »
Hello, for any drag racers out there just curious as to what gearing you guys are running on your bikes. My big bore cb750 bracket bike now has 14 tooth front and 43 rear. (3.07:1) I mostly run at 1/8th mile track but ocasionally 1/4 mile. Any suggestions on best setup for both tracks?
Thank you

A general rule-of-thumb someone once told me was that your wanted to trip the lights at the end of the strip just after the peak horsepower RPM (not necessarily redline). 
Don't fix it if it ain't broke!
