A blessing came to me today and I found a 1998 blackbird crashed bike in tow yard got it for $300 it needs front forks and trees And tank and plastics,seat I'm happy because I sold my 1997 in 2014 and regret it everyday but it wasn't a good street bike to many mods I ran it at moroso Speedway 4 times The fastest I could get was et 8:19 at 170ish mph this one is staying stock thanks for the video brought me back to my days👍
I used to work at Pail Thedes Race Tech I'm Pomona,Ca. We rebuilt the suspension, replaced stock springs. Got a chance to ride post upgrade. Incredible. The engine is flawless, so smooth delivery. Good times, great bike. MC
Good job. Might want to try adding a rear sprocket with 2 teeth more than stock for a quicker response off the line. My best with my 2003 US spec model, lower gearing and a 4 into 1 Muzzy exhaust was 10.615 @ 136.83 mph. This was back in September of 2005 here in the states.
Ive Got a 2005 blackbird & me old faithful 2000 that i need to mot & sell. Ive always had a blackbird since i sold my 98 blade(fox eyed) ....and im simply staying with a blackbird! Does everything it says on the tin in my book & deliver what ever you ask sir🍾✊ I keep telling my friends to keep buying their new bikes every year lol........ You keep looking in your mirrors every year lads!! I'll Be Their smiling behind u ready to pounce on my comfortable silent rocket😆💪😘
Great launches, I launch my Bird (no extended swing arm) @ 4000 too, any higher and I'm fighting wheelie and I can't get the throttle wide open in first. A good start the needle goes up then slightly down then all the way up to rev limiter before change. Top stuff.
My son inlaw found a 98, the fellow was a armchair rider, and a engineer he could not figure out how to get it running, so he sold it for 1000 dollars, it took us about a week to sort out the issues, new plugs sync the carbs, he had the plug wires backwards. Runs perfect now, does need a new paint job. He can now keep up with me. ZZR1200 vs Blackbird. Lol
Brilliant video and really interesting experiment as well. Your initial launch seems really nicely controlled. What next though? Quick shifter, low fuel load, more aero leathers?
I had a Blackbird almost new in 2003, best bike ever by a country mile! Is it possible to fit a quick -shifter? surely it would eliminate a few 10ths of a second, or are they against the rules on drag races?
Good afternoon, please tell me, when revving and resetting at revs and at idle, the temperature jumps by two or three degrees + - immediately, when releasing gas in a big direction, and also when dialing down. 2006 1100xx
Nice SBB, what yr is it? Plus, good upgrades: Delkevic Cans, K&N Filter!! Question: What gear are you launching in (Should be 2nd and RPM's @ 5000 to 6000)!! Also, Rear tyre psi, should be at 20 psi...front tyre 45 psi!! Try those changes next track day... hopefully you get to low 10's..😎. Where did you buy your aftermarket seat, I am looking to upgrade my stock seat to maybe; Corbin, Sargent or DYI cover/foam?
Hi, er startet im 1. Gang. Bei 1:39mln schaltet er in den 2. bei 110kmh. Ich habe das '97 Vergasermodel (offen, 162PS gemessen). Bei 286kmh muß ich in den sechten Gang schalten sonst kommt der Begrenzer. Bin mit Metzler Reifen unterwegs. Grüße aus dem schönen Bremen✌️
@@itchythrottle3304 Sounds good. Please post the full results! I finally got my 2002 silver bird ( US spec) on the road last Sunday. Except for some non-performance additions to it, the bike is all stock ( gearing, exhaust system, air filter). Just for fun I'll be drag racing the bike like this as soon as the weather cools down , maybe come late September.
nice runs, great vid, do you have a power commander on it? I know delkavic say you dont need to tune, but i was just wondering if you had one fitted as well.
@@itchythrottle3304 cheers mate, I've got a pair of 450mm delkavics on my 2004 bird, just the cans, and I have disconnected the o2 sensor and put a o2 plug in delete on the loom connection. Its running fine, but I've always wondered about adding the delkavic headers on. I know if I do though I will have to factor in a new o2 sensor lol. Thanks for the info.

As a fellow BB owner this makes me smile proudly.👍
As a former hayabusa owner and frequent borrower of my brothers BB it made me smile too - GREAT bikes - wish they would make them again

Great vid! Long live the blackbird!
i put the 2003 BB engine in a 93 cbr900rr chassis and i really love it
Bikes sounds very good and shifting looks really good nice video for a perspective buyer. Thanks

Value for money right there, nice.
Bloody beautiful mate.
good job,you were ripping.

Yep, Quickshifter next then sprockets shorter gearing, then race gas.
@@itchythrottle3304 shave 15 thou off the dip stick 😜I managed 280 k on mine before running out of road awesome machine.

What is your sprocket set up? How many teeth on the front and how many on the back??
What was that chopper on the second run??? Was proper quick!

I have owned 4 CBR1100XXs and 3 have had Sargent seat coverings. Still own a 2001 and a 2002 model.
Yep plenty of fun and fear yet to come, seat is stock cause it's light but custom seat cover. 👍

Hi bud
Would you recommend this exhaust for daily use or would you say its a little on the loud side 😂
Hey man, absolutely mate, just perfect 👍
@@itchythrottle3304 thanks bud, keep the videos coming 👍🏻👍🏻
How much did it cost you to get 4 receipts!? 🤔
Get yer chin on the tank🤠
Tive uma Xx e troquei o pinhão 17 por um 16, mudou da água pro vinho, esse tempo aí vai cair muito
Been quite a while now, any more drag racing done with the XX?
Yep, 30th is street series event.
Had a gearing change 16 tooth front sproket and 45 rear, also shift light installed so let's see? 👍

You need it quick shifter
Why did you lower it?
Physics brother

Nah mate, still running the factory tune for the moment.

I have and the lack of power between 3-7000 rpm is gone.... it now keeps pulling through the whole range.
But Could Run Fast, The Real BLACKBIRD
Карб рулит..
