Hey folks, names chris. I have a 2012 !0th anniversary that I have owned for a little over 2 years now. When I got the bike it was basically stock, and added a few mods. It has a bassani road rage 2 pipe, SESTP for tuning, and a drop in filter. When I got the bike it had factory bags, and in one of the bags it had a dyno sheet that stated the bike made 118hp/84tq (pretty normal stock numbers) but it also had a receipt for a set of jones stage 2 cams. Now we all know that a 1250 with cams makes roughly 130-135 hp in most cases, so I cannot confirm if the bike has cams, or if that dyno was done before cams, I really don't know.
Anyway, this year I ran the bike at a local 1/8 mile track a few times, and ran right at 7.60 @ 90mph the whole time. with a 350lb rider that is roughly 1050lbs and most calculators put that right at 117hp. Well that caught me the drag racing bug so here we are! This is my official build thread for this bike. so stay tuned!
The list of upgrades that are being done this winter is very simple. I just recently purchased a used Boss Noss system off a member on here with a NOS mini controller and ZEX purge solenoid. The bike is scheduled to be dynod again on December the 5th so I have until then to get that kit installed. Im hoping to be able to dial it in to around 160whp which should put me in the 6s in the 1/8 (which is my overall goal for the year). im also going to do a fitzgerald 26t pulley as well to get the 60' down (averaged 1.890s this year) to roughly 1.7 or better if I can (remember im 6'5" 350lbs so that's flying lol)
I do have a few questions for the experienced guys:
1. What plugs do u recommend? I keep seeing the NGK DCPR8E and DCPR9 come up in a lot of threads on here. when I put those in on autozones site it brings up 9651 and 2641 plug respectively. Are those just new numbers for the same plug? and also what would you gap them too?
2. What clutch mods would be absolutely necessary for this setup? the clutch is a stock slipper at the moment.
3. What is the "safe" limit for a stock bottom end 1250 that would be considered reliable?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
