After I bought my C-14, a Buddy and I would compare our bikes by doing 3rd gear Roll-On's.
ie; One of us would do a mod, we'd do a test, and the other would add the same thing, or install some other mod.
Our test consisted of getting the bikes rolling, put them in 3rd gear, let them stabilize at about 2000 RPM's, count to 3, and whack the throttles open.
We generally knew the result "way "before 10,000 RPM, but was fun to go there.
A roll-on takes clutch work, how a person shifts, etc out of the comparison...
Ok, it's not very scientific, but it was a good way to compare mods... (Sort of a poor mans Dyno)
We later did the same vs other bikes...
I'm about 215, plus gear. My bike is a 2014, w/early ZX-14 header, 2 Area P Mufflers, 50 series rear tire, MRA windshield, Mountain Runner Premium Flash, and the fastest Color {2014 red}..
(Yes, I know the red gives me an unfair advantage, but "ehhhh"...)
I've done pulls against several bikes; some were stock, some with Slip-on's, some with other Flashes, and 1 with a Yoshimira Full system and a Flash.
At this stage, only the Yoshimira bike is out pulling mine. {but I've added the MRP since we last met, so there is a re-match coming}
Wondering; Is anyone else doing the same thing, and what mods seemed to do the most for your bikes?
NOTE: The idea here is not to see who's bike is fastest. It's to compare modification's..
Ride safe, Ted
