For RS SE5 & SM5 riders, what are your timings for 1/4 mile & top speed? @ our local drag strip, I did the 1/4 in 14.23 seconds & hit 95.51 mph in the 1/4 mile & topped out @ 124 mph.

With my friend, SethO.
My top speed on a stock 2012 RS-S is 118 mph: ducked down as tight as possible, going downhill.nojoke
Somebody has got to tell me where I can find the extra speed:gaah:
Just sayin'............
117 mph ran out of road, but have never run the 1/4. We have an RS 2012 with a hindle and K&N filter. All in all fast enough for us....:ohyea:
Hey Doc,
I finally realized just how much of that speedometer you "burned down" in your runs!! :firstplace: :bowdown::bowdown::bowdown: :2thumbs:
Im fat and I can run 118......aftermarket pipe and power commander v......k&n air filter
I should have saved my time slips from last years Spyderfest. I did the 1/4 in the mid 13's (I think) and 98 mph (I'm sure). That was track mph, not speedo.
Fast times BajaRon - 1/4 in the mid 13's @ 98 mph. Have you done any modifications that added to your hp & speed? What are the bang for your buck modifications, when it comes to speed & engine performance? I run a stock 2012 rs with no modifications other than run as light as possible.
Honestly, I don't know. I didn't think I was all that fast. I am pretty sure I can do better.
I've got a Yoshimura exhaust, K&N air filter and a JB (which I think was set too rich at the time). Nothing all that special really.
I've done some stop light drags (never on the Spyder, always on 2 wheels... They forced me!). But this was my very first time ever, at an actual drag strip. It was easier and a lot more fun than I thought it would be.
I still have mine but they are fading in my wallet. My best was 13.83 at 93.87 MPH My worst was 14.20 and I was always letting off toward the end unless I was behind. I only got beat twice, once by Doc in the pratice runs and once by the guy who won the 1st place trophy.
Sounds like a lot of fun running against other spyders @ spyderfest. Are there videos of spyderfest drags? I've found a few on youtube.
I looked & found a cool drag vid.
