Have not been on the forum for a while .... I thought there was a specific place for Gen I Busa's so I apologize if this is in the wrong place.
Wondering if anyone knows how to make the shift pattern "tighter" on a busa?

I am using a Busa engine for my 3 wheeler and I am have a heck of a time getting solid shifts with a manual shifter. It seems the distance from 1st to 2nd and so on is long.
Meaning .... I want a minimal "tap upwards" to get the bike to shift. If you can imagine... I am in front of the engine, sitting down with pedals like a car. There is a manual shifter to my right with a cable on it.but I can't get enough "motion" to get it to shift. I am wondering if there is a way to make this tighter/smaller.

You could go
to electronic ,
clutchless shifting
through the ecu and
some additional components .

Or ,
a shorter throw

on your shifter .

Cool but over a grand. That's a bit steep in my book.

An Evo Shift star might help a bit if it's smaller in diameter than the OEM shift star on the Hayabusa. I think it is. I can't recall where but seems to me I saw pics comparing Evo to OEM.

For my ZX-14, the Evo diameter was the same as OEM and no real reduction in shift pedal throw.

Can you reverse the shifter so that it's gp style, 1 up 5 down? May be easier to get a firm shift going down.

the gp shift is so you can shift up, tilted over hard, mid corner if you need to. Well, that's my understanding anyway. So the Evo shift star firms up the shift, have you considered a solid linkage? Using a couple threaded rods and a solid pivot point may be a decent option. can you post a few photos of the setup so we can help you brainstorm?
