The gearing is different on the two bikes. Second gear on his would be closer to first gear on your Busa, if memory serves correctly.

you are going againist one of the quickest bikes on the planet currently


he's 100 lbs lighter
quicker and geared lower.

I would say you need to gear your bike roughly -1, +2 to compete....and that's IF the riders are actually equal.

you'll still loose until you either change your sprockets or add more hp to your engine. you can mod the box, the pair, OE exhaust and it's not gonna get you there.

I was already thinkn about the sprocket change but i dont want 2 go up to much in the back cause i like 2 drag race a lil. i went down one on the front on my old busa and it was ok but a lil hard to keep down but i liked it cause it was even ezer 2 ride wheelies when i wanted to. what else besides sprockets will help

you could always give it a little squirt of juice. :devil: Keep everything looking stock and you'll really shock him.

Thats right on the money :beerchug: The busa stock is geared way higher than the gixxer. The gixxer weighs 100+lbs less, and they're putting out about the same hp. Gearing is your best friend.....regardless of any other mods you do :thumbsup:

What everyone else said. The gixxer is geared to get to 186 as fast as possible without worrying about ultimate top speed or milage Where-as the busa is geared for top end. They both make about the same hp but the busa makes ALOT more torque to make up for the heavier weight. Gear that busa down like the gixxer and you should walk him no problem.
