16/46 here with heavy clutch springs. My best 60 so far is a 1.42, but i average a 1.46. I'm 175 in shorts. As soon as I get an air shifter i'm going to be going to 16/48. Eklipse636 is turning 1.35-1.38 on 16/48 and he's 210 lbs-ish.
One of the best things I ever did was listen to wheelie on the steep gearing.
That is only a trick with your left and right hand and/or clutch setup. I was just stating dont let a good 60 ft consume you into running worse 330 times. A hard charging 60 might have you sailing the front end so high that you go neutral on the throttle or create some tire spin. This will reflect down track after the 60. I aint no master at it either but learning more as I go.
i'm sitting at about 63-64" right now. here's a video of a 1.42 60ft, but my 330 suffered a little from me backing out of the throttle a little keeping the front end down.
that was my first time out on that gearing and 2nd time out after a 6 month deployment. i've since gotten used to it and leave at 7k with it only carrying the tire about 6 inches off the ground for about 150ft or so. Throttle is pinned and clutch is out before the tree.
I ran it for a hot second..... my best 60' was a 1.32 @65" with a 2mill... but it would wheelie uncontrollably 3out of 5 passes.... 16-44 would of been near perfect
Been running 17/48 and love it. Best 60ft. is 1.35, 5.72 1/8th.
Hey, what wheelbase you got , and what clutch setup ? I just went to 17-48 , and 5 in over stock wb , and I've yet to get past a 1.44 60 ft with stock clutch, stock springs , and Brocks spacers ? I'm still on a stock shock too , but thinking about revalving it? I weigh 150 lbs in shorts also. My bike has a brocks short meg , PCv, w/ track map. I went 5.80 w/1.44 60 @ 124.66 yesterday , but don't think my 60s will cut it! I'd appreciate input!
