Aug 16-18, 2013 at Kunmadaras Drag Arena. I just reserved a hotel near the track for the weekend. I plan to arrange everything around this since I made that mistake with conflicts preventing my attending this year.

SOOOOO..... I'm ready, but I need:
- Practice on my launch! Seriously!
- Straps for the front
- Maybe 1 more tooth on the rear? (stock now)
I'm very much a novice, but I'm running low 11's now. I have the oldest bike there, and I'm up against fuel injected 1,000+ cc bikes. But I've never had so much fun losing! Racing on a track Friday-Sunday for about $20. How can you go wrong?
Waiting for AndyB to chime in...
It's a bit of a hike for me.... gluck though!
Be Careful !
They show a bunch of motorcycles on fire on their website........ :shok:
Have fun!
Dam that's a cheap weekend of racing ,, do you use slicks or just use what you ride in on ,, have you tried a 15t front sprocket (popcorn)
have fun :good2:

Just a normal street tire.

How many teeth on a stock front? I assume you are talking about going down a tooth or so? This track is almost a 6 hour ride to get there. So I need to balance driveability factors. A BIG concern of mine is breaking down out there - no shops to bring it to. Do a Google Maps search and look at Kunmadaras. You'll see what I'm talking about. Then the language barrier. That's a main reason I just dumped $200 into a new chain.
Pretty sure stock front is 17t,, I've tried a 15t , great launches but on the road engine is revving high , , be too much for the distance your traveling, , mind you at the time I had just fitted the gsxr rear and that was fitted with a 45t rear sprocket , , great set up for drags but not on the street,, do you have to use a sump gaurd oil catcher thingo :lol:,, and lock wire enging parts like most places, they seem pretty relaxed over there,, +10 on your good chain, last thing you. Want chewing threw your cases ,, ling walk home

No rules for that stuff at all... but maybe only in my class. Safety is a huge
personal responsibility, not like in the U.S. where people sue for anything. I don't think lawsuits even exist here. Fair compensation at best. If you damage something, you pay for it. Pretty simple.
Sounds fair, insurance would be much cheaper :biggrin:if everyone did that , , still a lack of lawsuits down here for now, , we havnt caught up to the states that much
Soooooo.....
How many teeth on a stock rear sprocket?
I believe the stock FJ1200 rear sprocket has 42 teeth.

What year ?
1100's were 41 or 42 I have only seen 42.
1200's were 39 40 or 41 I think 40 was most common.
Did some looking and I think its 40 teeth
if your fj has anti -dive forks you are more like a 87 ,so it would be 41 teeth.
Mark is correct.... stock with the anti dive 1200s was 17/41
KOokaloo!
17/40 should be right on a 3CV. Also was the best gearing that I used at the track with mine, though that was with the YZF wheel; equal to 17/41 on stock tires.
Thanks. I was looking at Randy's RPM parts website and it seems my only options are 39, 40, and 42 teeth. I wonder if I should just go with a 42, but keeping in mind the nearly 6-hour ride to the track.

The 40 was decidedly faster for me than a 42 (41 vs 43 if you correct for the tire). If you're not replacing the chain, go with the 40, which will give you more wheelbase and make it easier to launch hard.
Scroll down to Performance Spec's. I don't know how accurate the info is but it seems reasonable.

I ordered a 41-tooth rear sprocket from Ebay. :good2:
I hope you ordered the steel one and not aluminum. the fj turns those to cheese.

Yes, it's steel. Good to know, though!
I got enough miles out of a aluminum rear sprocket to go through a good set of Dunlops -- but that also included just over 100 drag strip runs. Used aluminum since it was the only thing readily available for the PM Chicane rims.
