Hey guys. I am new to this site and the world of Hayabusas, but I did just purchase my first one! I LOVE it! It's everything I had hoped it would be. It's a 2003 Busa with only 8,000 miles on it.
Now the bad news is that my new girl has a bit of a problem. When I hit 50 mph and up to about 65 mph, she gets REALLY bumpy. Bumpy to the point that my friend following me in his car could see my head bouncing up and down. One of my friends said my rear shock might just be too tight, but I figured I would post on here to see if you guys could shed some light on my situation.
Also, my busa is heavily modified, so I wanted to post the modifications here in case that would influence your assessment. I have an aftermarket triple tree and lowering links, and I am on the lowest setting of those links (about 4" lower than stock I believe). I also have a 12" extended aftermarket swingarm, with a 240mm rear tire. The wheels on it are the All Things Chrome turbo wheels. I don't know if any of this matters, but I figured since it's a bumpy ride issue, my stretched setup might have something to do with it. The thing is, I had a stretched GSXR 600 before this and never had any issues like this (that bike was lowered as well....albeit not as much).
Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated!
