My employer rents Sacramento Raceway every year and lets us invite our friends and family to run the dragstrip. When I ran my 2005, for the first time, I ran a 12.12 time at 116 mph. The speed at the 1/8 mile mark was 98.6 mph and this was with my 250 lbs slowing it down. Another instructor...

ODOT, I find your comment very offensive and it lowers the standards of this fine forum. Although I find the act very engaging, it requires a female. I am not a female and although SacMike whines like a little girl, he is infact a male. I believe you are mistaken, you might be thinking of Bust...

Hi Mike, I do have some good forks for sale. I also have the forks from JBs bike. Make me an offer. PM sent

Thanks everyone, just got home from another 14hr workday.

Put the pegs back to stock then sit on a thick phone book or pillow to correct the angle of your knees.

Add HYCLE and Terri to the list, we will be traveling with RogDeb.

Now someone will start talking about the rolling radius which is the real indicator of how the bike goes down the road. I wonder if my three ply 180/55/17 B tire, with it's three plys will have a larger rolling radius than the the same size 2ply tire. I guess that would depend on how much weight...

Fun day at the track. My best time today was 12.36 at 111 mph. My little friend did an 11.94 on my bike and an 11.00 on his CBR. One run a guy with a Valkrie wanted to race me. I gave him a slight head start, sat up and waved at the grandstands, then beat him by .2 secs. That run was a 13.66...

I heard a story of one FJR that locked the rear brake while riding. Your's was not rear brake and mine was no ABS for the rear. I wonder if this is the begining of someone gathering data on affected bikes and reporting to NHTSA?

Gunny+++ :yahoo:

Add the HYCLEs, Mike and Terri.

Thanks Richard, wish I could have spent more time riding the bike with you. I did take a ride on the "Madaket" and now know a seal from a sea lion.

Thanks for the help in understanding, sometimes we teach just what we have been told without a good understanding of facts. We have found errors in old training materials that state "best braking occurs just before lock up". Our instructors are constantly debating our test materials with...

Can you explain how it determines chassis speed without using the wheel speed sensors or another input? Is it recording the live,average, road speed and then comparing that to a wheel decelerating to a speed below 87%. I am trying to get a better understanding of the logic used on a system with...

Count me in. Which joint are we going to?

Here is a great link to ABS operation and the different possible inputs for chassis speed. Do we know which inputs are available on the FJR? Do we have Deceleration Sensors or do we just compare wheel speeds? Toyota ABS Training
