Longest swingarm...
04/26/09 8:22 AM

What is the longest swingarm you fellow 14 riders have on your bike? And can you post a pic? I want to keep a 190 or 200 rear tire, and launch at the strip at 8000 rpm with no wheelies. Is 12-14" too long or ugly?

I'm running at 7" over stock and i'm not wheelying or spinning.

The longer you go, the more traction problems you'll have. And the more suspension you throw at it to make it hook, the more the bike will spin at the end of the track.

Its really pointless to go much farther then 7 or 8" over stock.


By the way, I launch at around 5000 and cut 1.45 60's.

Thanks Slow. Think I will go 10" over with opional 6" axle adjustment. Hopefully I can find something that will work between 4" and 10" over stock. I'm about 265 lbs with gear. Running 16/44 and installing a 50 shot as we in the next week. hopefully gravity and my weight will help with traction issues.

Cool deal.

I'd start at 8.5" over. Its easier to take links out then it is to add masterlinks.

What tire are you going to be running?

Wet or dry nitrous set up? If its dry, how rich are you going to set the map?

Are you going to run progressive on the nitrous? If so what's your ramp rate going to be?

I've heard issues with 50 shots on the zx14s, do you have aftermarket valve springs? or are you just going to be careful with it?

Sorry for all the questions, just wanted to see what you're gonna be doing and hopefully throw in some advice where i can.
