Yes sir, one of the tracks we run at I believe is close to 6000 feet above sea level most are around 5000 feet. And our tracks consist of something between dust and pea gravel! Colorado dirt is not...
Sorry I left out it is on alky and I do have an electric fan, another question, should we be racing with fan on or off? Once again thank you for info "dad" gonna order up new radiator right away, top...

Anybody have an idea about where to start for gearing with a 08 R1 at the dodge city track? I hear that it is big but ive never been there before. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks Dave
So is running an 08 R1 in 3rd gear with a 13 tooth engine gear the same final ratio as running it in 2nd gear with a 14 tooth engine gear? Axle gear at a 49 tooth staying the same with both combos....
Much like the post 2 below me, what do you guys recommend for max rpm for Guhl alky injected 08 R1? Ive heard a bunch of different rpm levels, some scary high, some ok. Thanks in advance Dave

Thanks a lot guys! I did end up finding a bike wrecking yard that also makes custom cables so I gave them all my dimensions and what ends I wanted on it and they built me one that works perfect. ...
What are you guys using for a throttle cable connecting to 08 R1 with guhl injection down to the pedal? Any particular part # that will do the trick? Thanks Dave
DAD you are a genius! I took battery over to batteries plus they checked it out and it had a dead cell in it, bought a new battery put it in and it fired right up. Thanks a million! Now I can sleep...
That makes sense that I could have smoked battery and probably did, but wouldn't 50 amps be enough to compensate for smoked battery and fire it up while it was connected? Thanks a bunch for input!...
