I had the first year V-max, used to run 7.10s stock. He aint kidding, it takes a lot of pratice on that bike to launch it. Hard to keep the front end down or keep it from bogging. If you pump that throttle at the light and get that turbo to spool up you'll launch way harder.
@JOUMABLIKSEM If you want to sponsor me, I'd me more than willing to get a MegaSquirt III on there and really have some fun. But for now, my S&S Super B is about all I can afford.
Unfortunately, that is correct... I had some jetting issues (and I'm not too good at launching yet) but I have run low 6.6's on an unprepped track. I tried going on up the jets and it sure didn't like it. If I could launch the bike, it is a lower 6-second 1/8 miler. This was probably my 15th run on this bike, so I have lots to learn!
have you done anything else to it other than the turbo, it sounds like theres a pretty hot cam in it

The exhaust note is very different than other metric bikes. I love the way it sounds.
