Trip to the Strip

Planning on taking the FJ to the drag strip tonight.

I'd love to break a hundred in the 8th, never done that before.

My 919 would run 98 - no more. The FJ feels like it has more power, we'll see.

Another friend is supposed to take his FZ1, should be a good time.

Hope to post pics, timeslips and maybe a video.

Good 4-1, individual air cleaners/jetting, Dyna ignition and one down on the countershaft sprocket is supposed to make the FJ12's a low 10 second bike, with the right rider.

Quickest time for me was a 7.679 at 94.54MPH. I did run a few in the 95's, but that was all I was going to get.

We had fun, that's all that really matters.

Here is a launch -



And just past the tree -



Next to Tom's FZ1, he hit 99.5MPH



I can not decide what I want to do with the FJ. I'd like a water cooled fuel injected bike - I'd love to build a turbobike - so it may be time for a change soon....

The FJ is a heck of a sweet ride!

Good for you and your Yamaha! Keepin' it real...
