Ugh.. well it was just a clutch adjustment that was needed. All good now.

First run on my new busa last week. 6 over stretch, lowered but not strapped and an MC Turbo. R/T 0.402 60' 1.958 1/8 6.642 mph 121.3 Sadly the track was only set up for 1/8th mile runs. Even with the stretch, the front wheel came up a touch. Recent convert from a nitrous V Rod and the...

OK, I have done a search and these gears do seem to be a common problem but I havent read a thread that seems to identify my exact issue. This is a turbo busa with 250+ hp and yes it has been thrown down the drag strip more than once.. The transmission feels extremely clunky and stiff...

Thanks again for you input, tht is exactly the type of info I was hoping for. No doubt when the time comes for more hp I will be taking a trip up the coast and I am sure that there will be plenty more newbie questions from me before then!

Thank you Frank. OK, very poor choice of words on my side.. what I meant by 'upgrade' was actually 'turn up the boost and be able to make bigger numbers without having to replace the whole setup'. Interesting about the actuator and clearly a lot more research needed on my side as the whole...

I currently have an 06 with a few mods but basically pretty stock. Looking to go down the turbo road, and pick up a second 'busa already tubo-ed. I think I have found one that will work for me but I want to ask the opinion of those out there who know a lot more than me about turbos (which would...
