LOL yea it sucked! I was getting about 30mpg and thats if i babied it. After i changed the sprockets out it increased about 8mpg which isnt great but its a lot better!

Thanks! And no I didnt see that post lol. Virginia is ridiculous anyway!

The previous owners put it on. This was the first time changing the sprockets on it since I owned the bike. Not sure why they needed at 14 tooth sprocket either. I know they had it set up for the track when I bought it so maybe thats why. I figured a 15 or 16 would have been fine for them.

I still have it somewhere and can post a pic of it

I didnt know they made a 14 either. Me and the guy that replaced it were shocked. We both counted 14 teeth on it.

just took it out on the highway. It seems to be off by a couple hundred rpms. I guess my speedometer could be off a little

ok, still seems a little off according to the chart. I feel like ive recently noticed how sluggish it is but maybe its been that way.

Recently ive noticed my 05 busa getting louder in first gear than normal. It seems like my RPM's are higher than what the should be when at a certain mph. In 1st gear im hitting 5500-6000 rpm at 35mph and in 2nd gear im hitting 5000rpm at 40mph. I hit 60mph in 1st gear and it was between 9-10k...

Yea to bad cuse that's a good price! I had another guy offer for $200 parts included but I just didn't trust him doing it right. I'll just spend the extra $50 knowing it's done correctly! For some reason it's not many options for bike work around here. Richmond va bike scene is lacking!

From what I've read, the busa's springs are real soft and it doesn't take much to bust the seals. I don't think it's a factory defect.

I'm taking mine to a guy that does most of my work and he's charging me between $200-$250 that's including all the parts. Doesn't seem to bad. Not crazy about paying it for just two stupid seals but it's a lot better than me screwing it up. I could screw up a wet dream. I've never been good at...

From what i have read on the forums that if I change the fork springs that Ill also need to change some other things. I don't have the money to do all that. I recently rode deals gap pretty hard and im pretty sure that was the cause of my fork seals to leak. I dont plan on riding that hard for...

I weigh 185 pounds. Would it be worth buying new springs? I have noticed a spot on the garage floor so ill be change the seals this week.

I wish i was able to do it myself but I just dont have the tools to do it. I got someone that can do it for $200. Thats included labor and all the parts. Doesnt seem like a bad price. Hopefully after replacing these I want have to do it again for awhile. I just took it to the deals gap and rode...

Where can I find a OEM seal kit? I check the sponsors websites and didn't see anything.
