I hate to break the news, but I've owned and drag raced a few crotch rockets. I had a 05 Kawi 636, it was strapped and 1 tooth down in the front and it seen 10.0s in the 1/4, but that was back in 05, I've seen 636 run 9.90s and stock 1000s run 9.0 to high 8s

The softtail is really not suited for a real hard launch, for each tenth you cut off the 60 foot time will get you 2 tenths in the 1/4. I live right at sea level here in Florida and that helps in the tuning dept. too. hopes this helps, ride safe.
Just to put it out there, but your reaction time has ZERO effect on your overall time. You could sit there for an hour (pissing off lots of people!) and then launch and you'd get the exact same time. As a matter of fact, watch at your next drag night, you'll see quite a few people wait to let the other guy/gal launch just so they can then focus on their own ride. If you've ever lined up next to another bike, you can't really hear what rpm you're about to launch at so if you let the other go, it is a lot quieter then.

Here's my best time with 40lbs pressure on the rear tire, No burnout and no power shifting. 95" Head-Quarters S/T. Low 11's for a V-Rod. It had to be modified. Have seen alot of stock ones doing low 12's but that was it.

Well I'm no pro eiter but I'll give it a try. Reaction is the time it took me to react after the green light turned on. Actually, you leave at the last yellow lights and your bike moves when it's green. I1 is the 60 foot mark, I3 is the 1/8 mile mark. btw, I don't know
what happened to the I3 mph. It surely is wrong. ET, is elapts time and mph as you cross the 1/4 mile line.
