Kiko, with your gearing now this should be your top speed with 20inch tires... 106.96 mph @11,000 rpm

the only thing I can think is that im running so much tire pressure that the tire is actually growing a little more than a regular 20" tire. I run about 22psi on my dunlops...

Why do you run 22psi?

Why do you run 22psi?
the more tire pressure you run, the better you mph can be...

the more air you put in a tire the more traction you will lose. Your only gaining mph because the tire is grown so much with 22psi. Doesnt mean you can hook a tire up with that much pressure either though.

DaBeechMan, these guys are taking about running on asphalt, Traction is not a problem, some even run with bald tires.

A sand drag strip is about to open down here, things will get a little more interesting.

My reason for asking is if you start at 22psi of air pressure.....and run in excess of 100mph more heat is generated (increases PSI) + the tires are wanting too grow even more...sounds like a recipe for disaster....especially with stocker Dunlops. I would get some 22" tall tires if all I was after was a taller tire that effectively changes the gearing for your purpose.

hahaha, everyone down here runs raptor tires if there banshees are beyond ridable. They strech and get taller the faster you go so it increases your top speed that may help you win the race. Rob I havent been riding lately but where are they opening a sand drag strip?

At the new seminole mx track. 1/8 mile sand drags throws a whole new slant on things. You can't just gear up and win it with a high top end.
