Best mod EEVVVVERRR!!!!

[mjn]

Just changed out my chain and sprockets...went with a +3 rear (43)...


and all I can say is WOW!!!

I wish I'd done this a couple years ago!

Pick a rpm in first...anywhere above 3K....twist, and up comes the front wheel!

I can't seem to get the grin off my face.....and it's been four hours since I rode.......


Just frikkin DO IT!

Make those landings gentle

I'm running a 38 rear sprocket and anywhere beyond 4K will bring her skyward if that's what I wish. Ex gal always wanted me to bring the front up. I don't do it, it's just to abusive. Have fun, be careful

Make those landings gentle  

you got that right. fork reseals will cost ya.

(3 more teeth should effect your top speed negatively)

 

[motogp08]

Be careful.

I went one down in front....and it didn't seem to do all that much

But when you live a mile up nothing seems to do much

I went with a 42T vortex rear sprocket,there was a noticable difference,didnt want to go to big though,otherwise she will be screaming just cruising at 55

Who cruises at only 55 mph? Even with 43t, 55 mph is not bad but when you get into the 70-80 CRUISING range you'll notice the higher RPMs buzzing at you.

Fork seal is only $18. Just a part of doing business I suppose?

Easy landings is the key!

...from now on forget the readings on your speedo.Readings will be more or less round 10-15% more for the same speed.Anyway I can feel your happiness.Irealy do.Busa should have had shorter gears I must admit

 

[big jim]

I did the same thing about a yesr ago. I changed back to stock about 2 months ago and I am much happier. I dont like cruising at 80 and have the RPM way up there. That is just me though.

actually it DID have 15/43 sprockets and the speedo read 65 when I was actually doing around 35

speedohealer fixed that right up. but that 15t HAD TO GO. WAY to much stress on shaft. Went up to a 16t

Anyway its good to try it to enjoy power weelies and play equal with gixxers

 

[Mr Bogus]

Hmmm I am on stock gearing and the front comes up on queue... It will start to pull it in second (and if I slide back in the seat Weeeeeeeee!!!!!) guess a living at 600 above sea level has it good side

 

[BigSkin]

Speaking of best mod I also got a plus 3 rear sprocket on my shelf my bike only has 2k miles you think the factory chain is long enough?

 

[Tufbusa]

Yep, you can go up three, no problem.

On my last few busa's, I have installed a 43T before it's maiden voyage. Stock new chain has enough adjustment to go up three but not enough to go up four!
