fat has nothing to do with it, pure weight does.

you may be getting traction where they are spining, then by 4th gear they are moving on and your dropping back. weight is very important in a drag race...or lack there of

all things being equal...id start with the basics and check everything (air filter, plug and jetting) if your switching riders and its still getting smoked there may be more to it. If it were eme, id check everything before adding a "fix" when it could be something very basic and simple. the 06 runs pretty strong and should hold its own.

If all the 450R's are running stock gearing, then that is the problem. The 06 is 13/38 the 04/05 is 14/38. I don't know if the 06 transmission makes up for it but that might be your problem. They are geared more twords top end.

weight yes. a factor, but taking the baffles out doesnt really help much either. sure it does help it breath better but for the most part it just makes it loud. hrc kit will help. so will an after market muffler rather than removed baffles.
