just lowered the busa today, wow.

[ssvincels1]

Finally got around to lowering my 05 today via dogbones/tripletree(3 inches back, 3/4 inch front)
bike's still stock for now
went from a wheelie machine to a tire burner, oh well
it feels good to be able to pin the throttle from the get go and not have to worry about flipping,for now.

dropping a tooth in the front and evo. system might change that correct? i weigh 200 in street clothes
a little more practice and i might be ready for the track

 

[fstbusa]

yeah.. affects the handling a bit but hey... if you don't have to worry about wheelies then thats good..

get a turbo and you can have it lowered and still have the wheelie problem

guess I gotta get a longer arm.

You can be ready all you want...but you wont have time to do shid

I thought about raising mine so that I could go off-road, but I guess if I lower it and pin it, it'll have the same affect...

Find that hard to believe. What do you have keeping you from flipping?

 

[streaker00]

With the clutch. Ask 00busa, I believe he rides the same way.

 

[him]

Is the clutch mod allowing you to have it pinned and ease out the clutch?

 

[streaker00]

The clutch mod just stops the clutch from chattering. I'm actually removing the clutch mod and putting the 03 set up in. I was talking to Mikey Slowe and Ron Hughes and the suggested switching it. Mikey rode my bike last year and said for what my bike is he liked the way I have it set up but would change the clutch. He went 8.95 @ 154 on it with a 1.48 60'. And that was only his second pass on it.It's your left hand that controls the key!

 

[him]

SO what does teh bde clutch mod do? I already have the plates and rings in, the ones that remove the chatter. I was told this mod would make the bike function like it had a cable clutch.

. Oh well. There is a guy at gateway that runs fast as hell i might have him run my bike to see what it can do so i know what to shoot for

 

[00Busa]

If you guys go to the track a lot, you might want to invest in a BDE/Brick or some sort of weight on the front. I ran 6.00~6.10s before I got one and went into the 5.90s for the first time the same week I got it. My 60ft stayed preety much the ame but I'm able to 330ft a lot more consistent.

 

[him]

i've seen that but i though the idea was to lose weight

 

[00Busa]

It helps me "control" the launch better. You are correct about losing weight! I'm sure that if I had a longer arm I could take the "brick" off, put some lightweight wheels on it, gear it a little,and really turn it loose.

 

[Got-Busa?]

Yes, but if you can't use the power you have now because of wheelies. It helps a bunch! You should be WOT by the 60' beam. If you are having to let up because of traction or wheelie, it's killing your times.

I just got a nice sticky tire for mine. Once I see what it does with that, the BRICK is next on my list!
