Hi everyone, I'm new the the board but a long time reader, firt of all I will like to apology for my poor english (french Canadian).
the thing that led me the register is a question about my bike performance, (2003 zx6r 5000 km), I have been to the dragstrip the last 2 fridays, and I'm quite upset with my bike poor performance, my best time was 11.944 at 118.421 mph out of about 25 runs. I may not be the best driver but come on, on all the run I made I never break the 122 mph barrier. Last friday there was a guy with a 03 zx6r running all the evening in the 11.10 range with a best of 10.95. I tried different rpm starting technique and the best I had found is to start at 8000rpm (I'm 6.1 200 pounds, 4 year driving experiance) there a 1 second difference in ours best time, there must be something wrong with the engine, the only thing I can see is the alarm system (viper) hurting the ignition. This bike have been well broken in (I'm a certified car mecanic) and well taken care of.
Before I took it to the strip I alway found it a little slow when you compare it with what they said in any magazine, I had a 2000 gsxr600 before and I did not find my zx6r any faster at all, only at the same level, If anybody know something about that or heard something similar happen, let me know I'm realy piss off now, thank in advance for our help guy.
