Anyone know the approx max weight

[tonyy1]

I'm not a small man at all, at 6'4 and approx 260lbs. I'm wondering 2 things.
1). what's the most weight (approx) you've put on the rear seat (meaning a 2nd person).
2). what's the total weight that the bike can carry and not break anything off. I definately don't want the seat to crack or anything.

I plan on taking my brothers up and down the street when I get the bike, and they are a little bit smaller than me, I'd say about 220-230lbs.
Just wondering if the bike will be able to handle all that weight.
thanks all.
Tony

me and you are same height and weight,I think it can handle i would take it easy on turns.

should be ok T1,If it was an older one with an alloy sub frame,I'd be worried.

Is the Rub back......Must have been that email I sent him

[tonyy1]

schweeeeeeet, thanks guys. I'll definately let you know how it goes. & so all know the great IRS has received my return electronically and the countdown officially begins for me, I believe I'm not the first I think Ninjaeater beat me to it, but March 14th is the day I have all my ducks in a row to pick up my baby #2.
Now I wonder what I can get them to throw in (I'm thinking about the Icon Timax mesh jacket)...
will keep you all posted.
and welcome back Rub, hope you're here to stay.

As roach said be easy on the turns!

Might want to stiffen up the rear shock a little, if your using the stock suspension settings there is a guide on the forums showing you how to easily adjust it.

seems like a lot of us here are just big mutha's, at 6'4" and a stout 245 i cant wait to get on a busa, other bikes make me feel like im too big for their world.

mine is able to travel a 1/8 mile in 6.48 at 111mph with 260lbs on it.And 10.10 to go a 1/4 . so i dont see a problem.

Remember this one? May be a good point of reference for maximum allowable weight.

[busa crazy]

hey tonyy1, im 6'5 259lbs and i know some guys that are 6'8 at 300lbs that ride the busa.does your bike have the stock swingarm or has it been extended? if it has been extended theirs a couple of different ways to set up the stock shock.you can set the screws and turn the spring to help the bike to keep from rubbing,if you haven't changed the arm you probly will only need to adjust the screws on the shock.
maybe this will help!!!

When did you take this pic of me?!

[tonyy1]

no busa crazy, don't have the bike yet, will be getting an 06 LE in ±9 days.

[BentValve]

The GVWR is 948 pounds - 550 = 400lbs left for suited up riders and gear.

Thats quite a bit..just adjust your suspension accordingly.

[busa crazy]

congrats on the 06 you'll like it!!! hey bentvalve your 2lbs off!!!! just having a little fun, man . i didn't know what the gvwr was, i just wanted to let him know that if he extends it theirs alot of options for his kinda of weight.
