No I havent.. I would say that axle will be changed first due to time and idk wht it will do tomorrow.. if on chip tom at track I'm going to change axle and then figure out ratio to get front sprocket and axle to tht ratio.. everyone at track seems to run 14-49 and I'm running a 13-49 so I'm a little off.. was thinking I'd try that cuz that's what my bud ran.

Don't Follow Lead There are guys out there that could take that 13/49 and win with it!

Which GSXR motor do you have?... Are you on gas or methanol?.... What is the track size? 1/4, 3/8, 1/5??? Has the ECU been flashed and engine dyno'd?? Let me know and I can cross it to my gear ratios we run with our GSXR.

We use a tack >>> the object is not to hit the rev limiter we gear a few hundred rpm's lower than that to give us a little margin. Sometimes just changing your on line on the race track can turn an uncompetitive car into a winner. A very competitive guy we race with in the MMSA uses a saying that he got off of Rich Vogler "Slow is Fast" many many times this is the case.

14 49 should be good for gsxr on a track that size

I looked in my spares and have a 48 47 rear axle gear along with 14 engine so hopefully I can make a change in a good direction..

remember we havent had the rain this week depending on how chris waters the track it may dry out a lot faster with the temp. in the 80's and if the track drys out the track will not b as fast
