They tell me that's the biggest I can go without decreasing ground clearance in left-hand corners. I really didn't have enough distance on my race tracks (any empty, isolated parking lot I can get my hands on) to get up to top speed anyway; and now I can make better use of the high-RPM power-band and get better acceleration all around. ;}

I use it in my '95 Mustang GT, and it's useful for measuring acceleration, net horsepower, etc. I'd like to use it in experiments with this bike. I adapted it to run on a 9-volt battery. Well, sometimes that works and sometimes it doesn't. To work consistently, it appears to need a little more beef (i.e., 12 volts DC).
