[meeree]

hello my fellow riders! I am new to the forum and I was just thinking....i am 6'2 and weigh about 255lbs. Am I too heavy for the stock suspension on my Busa?

input appreciated. take care guys!

 

[BigGeorge]

In a single word... nope!

 

[basscrazy]

Dude, I thought you were going to say something like 500+ pounds.....

Like Big G. said

 

[1BadAssBusa]

No! I know a guy pushin 300 that rides on STOCK Busa.

 

[05BusaLe]

I thought these bikes were made for a 160 lb jap man?

 

[Lucky34]

Have you seen the height poll?
There's dudes here like 6'6" ,6'7" weighing 300+ riding busas

 

[rockadaous]

yep. you need to give the bike to me LOL hells no man!!!

 

[meeree]

ahah ok awesome. just making sure...if i needed to do you guys know how I would go about stiffining the spring a little?

 

[werdkat]

I am 6'6.5 I now weigh 295...however have been riding the piss out of mine at the 375-379lb range. I recommend new shocks/forks all that jazz. Coming from a guy who rode vmans after traxxion dynamics got ahold of it...wowsers...HUGE DIFFERENCE....but yeah it will carry you....this is coming from a big guy himself who likes to leave as little of chicken strips as possible....

 

[heavybusa]

I'm 300 + and I can tell you that you are not.

BUT if you want to roll low with a passenger you will need to make some changes.

BigD,
I am 6'2" @ 250 and I never get used to pics of you and your bike. You make that bike look tiny.

[snakeyezzz]

I'm 6'5" and 330 lbs. So no you are not too big for your bike.

 

[sk8snw8s]

I know one thing that isn't to heavy or tall and that is those A**es walking on your page (Avatar).

 

[ONE MORE BUSA]

I dont think your too big, but i think this guy in the picture might be a little too big.

 

[Powers739]

You beat me too it...

 

[Big Wall]

I'm 6'8", 300 lbs and it works fine for me.

 

[BlueHaya]

I'm 6' currently 246....usually 240. No problems it still gets up to speed.

Had to ride 3-4 miles two-up ferrying bikes in Daytona last year on a Busa. I'm 275, and my buddy is 210. Pretty crowded to say the least, but the bike never bottomed out and it felt surprisingly composed...
