Hi all,
This is my firstpost anywhere about my newly purchased busa..I have had 9 previously bought 900cc and bigger spoprt bikes so,I'm still alive because of respect of them.I used to go to the dragstrip alot with them and plan to with my new06 busa.
ANYWAYS HERES MY QUESTION GUY:
I read jinksters post and so many more about the better stock settings as to not kill myself with the stock settings.
I weigh 200pounds I'm 6'3'' and the bike has dog bones with the middle hole setting.
I would like to know if jinkster says 4out compress and 3out rebound and 1out preload forks for his 240 weight.
I could not find the perfect answer for my weight so I set mine at from turned all the way in I screwd out my compression to 3 lines showing and 2 clicks out for rebound and 1 click out for the spring preload adjusted on the side of the forks.
What would be the perfect setup for my weight for the front becuse I'm am just guessing at this aadjustment that I have done and need to know whats the right one.
Also,My dogbones lowered the rear of the bike and thus I would think that tat would change the jinksters rule of thumb adjustments if so what adjustments would be right with the middle position on the dog bones?
One more question he recommends 10clicks out rebound and 7 clicks out on the top for the rear shock with turning the nuts down 2 turns.
Since I have mine lowered with the dog bones should I just leave the spring collar as factory and just mess with the rebound and dampning of the rear shock?
All I know is jinster nailed it and did us a favor and probably saved a few spills too by posting that good susp info but all that is always different with different weights of guys and also the newness of the suspension or the oldness of it and whether the bike is lowered some has to make it different.
Oh and right now the frontend height has not been lowered .
I know its alot of crap having to read my long azz post but I KNOW THERE ARE GUYS ON HERE THAT HAVE BEEN THERE AND DONE THAT
SO CALLING ALL PRO LEVEL HEADED RIDERS THAT HAVE A FEEL FOR SUSPENSIONS SPECIFICALLY FOR A 200 POUND RIDER.
What should my front and rear be set at and if a frontend is lowered doesn't that actually hurt me on the street versus say of course a dragrace at the strip..
Oh I did read where 1 guy said he had his compression screwed all the way in and 1/2 turn out on the forks and he weigh at 200pounds and said that it still was not enough.
I will get stiffer springs in the near future but for right now I just need to make the best of what I have.
Screwing the compression all the way in/down ;will that actually be binding with no movement or is there still plenty of safe internal movement if compressed on rebound and dampning of the front..
Oh and I live inbetween rockingham and charlotte,nc and need to find the ACE of personal dyno mapping around here cause I got a PC3,tre,NEW 42 TOOTH SPROCKET,MarbleMod,kandN FILTER AND I won't to get it all meaning all the horsepower it has to offer with proper mapping..
Thanks guys and I'm glad to be a busa owner on this board;I think busa owners know what it takes to go fast and not have to fight doing it .
I will setup the bike for street and then change settings for strip somewhat to transfer power.
Oh and I'm in the market for a oil pan so I dont have to worry bout busting and oil spweing.
Next post will be more down to earth short and sweet.
