Who has run a SV at NJMP Thunderbolt?
What gearing works out best there with a stock motor?
15/45? 15/44? 16/45?

Thoughts?

I can't really help you as never ridden there but I run 14/45 on 2.4 tracks and shorter and my stock SV smokes !

Good question Rada, I'll be curious to hear the responses as I'll be heading there for the first time next month!

Not sure if it makes a difference but I have a Gsxr real wheel with 520 setup. I run 14 front and 46 back. It's plenty strong out of corners and i'm almost hitting the rev limiter at the end of the front straight when I get a good run out of the 11 and all the way down the front straight. I found that the when I still had the stock rear wheel with stock gearing that I was always bogging out of corners but then again the SV was still very new to me and I hadn't ridden a V-Twin before so I wasn't used to the powerband.

14-46....of course you have good drive out of corners.

You should be wide open through last corner, and with 14-46, should be maxed out coming out of that corner, not by the end of the straight. Has nothing to do with what rear wheel you are running.


run 15-44 or 45.

15/45 seems to work best for me!
....the ft. straight is VERY long.

I'll be there again on the 16-17th. of Sept.

Hmmm max out in 6th coming out of last corner??? Maybe i'm mistaken with front sprocket :headscratch: I know for sure the rear is a 46T. Now you got me thinking. I'm about to order a new set since my rear sprocket is showing some wear and figured I'd just swap it all out as a set so that I don't have to remember when was the last time I changed the front sprocket and or the chain.

Another project for this weekend. I'll be at NJMP on 9/22-23 and maybe 24th depending on $$$

See you there. I'll have Boose in tow also. She is amped up to hit Thunderbolt.:vroom:

I went ahead and ordered a 44 and a 45 to mess around with.

I need to go back to 45T at NHMS anyways.

my guess is you are running 15 front.

stock gearing 15/45 works very well just about everywhere.

Adam, Lou, 15/45 works just fine at Thunderbolt. You guys will be fine.
You guys are gonna love it. We'll have to turn some laps together

Interesting, can you guys post those laps times?

I'm expecting a very large smile.....

Lap turning will be a must.

I'm sure Lou will have a qstarz or seven lying around
Knowing those two, I'll bet I tow them down into the sub 1:40's by the end of the two day event. :naughty:

^ THIS!

We'll definitely have to run some laps!

Yeah, like OG said...I'll be running a timer and selling/renting them too, so I'll have plenty of times to report and can share some data for viewing in the free version of QRacing if anyone wants it.
