[busalife2016]

Hey guys so I went ahead and changed the sprockets out -1front +3rear and good god it's feels like a completely different bike. it's so much more fun to ride! Still have to get used to it but the power range in second and third is just insane kinda scared me at first lol anyways thanks for all the help and advice u guys rock !!!

And on top of that. Ecu derestricyed and Schnitz quick throttle tube? Makes the ride ridiculous.

Gearing is so much fun......^^^^and either a quick throttle tube or R1 tube^^^^will make you think you have another couple ft/lbs of TQ at the fingertips....

I put the Schnitz QA throttle on my S/C Busa, went from mad to barking mad lol :bounce:

What's the throttle tube do? Looks like regular grips haven't had the time to research them. May need to upgrade then lol

Haven't did the research on the throttle tubes are they that much better? What did u go with R1 or schnitz?

U guys are making me want throttle tubes now lol haven't researched they make that big of a difference?

Haha they are the cheapest tuning mod ever busalife

The throttle tube has a bigger cable cam on them. Allows you to get WOT with led rotation of your wrist.

Have the ecu flashed too as said above.
Much more agressive at lower rpms.

 

[nosbig]

At -1 +3 how much higher are your RPMs at cruising speed?

 

[Jake whitebird]

The throttle tube has 20% less twist, so 1/5 less rotation, to achieve wide open throttle.

 

[busalife2016]

Nos, I wanna say I was at 7500rpm at 85mph I don't really remember I was focused on making sure gps and speedo was correct with speedohealer

Thanks, was considering putting some gearing in mine but that's to high for my blood. My MPG is bad enough the way it is. That would kill me.

NOS; I really don't know on the busa for sure but a lot of times lowering the gearing doesn't hurt MPG because the load is easier to move. MANY times I have seen guys going up in gearing just to improve MPG and because the motor has to work harder it hurt MPG.

R1 but have used R6 tube as well. R1 is better for smoothness otherwise the R6 feels like an On/Off switch plus requires more modifications to allow it to work.

Around town and slower speeds sure but any freeway speeds of 75mph + it goes down dramatically. When my Busa was completely untouched or performance molested, I could get 51mpg. Nice but I opted for acceleration so eventually went down to 34mpg.....I can live that since the tank is big at 5.5 gallons....

That sounds completely reasonable that in steady state cruising the higher the speed the lower the gearing would produce as you say, I would add though that with your possible other mods effect and their resulting smile factor the driving style might change adding to the lower MPG. One would have to do an apples to apples comparison to be accurate. Just wondering.

Pretty happy with my stock gearing at 18/43 but would not mind one day just to see try a 19/43 combo

Just do a -1 front or +3 rear
Either only ups the rpms around 600
With a flashed ecu, it gets it into the power almost instantly, yet still cruises easliy.
I could get over 40mpg highway (just to get where I was going), then about 30mpg ridin it right, lol.
