Have wheelied Busa past 1/8 mile. Was clocked @ 99 mph, still had some of 2nd gear left. Bike was at "balance point", front end about 3' in air, handle bars close to eye level. Didn't even want to, but situation had presented itself, and had lost the race, any way. Bike will get some air with high rpm shift into 3rd, if I'm sitting straight up. I weigh 220. ZX-9 will do long wheelies, also. Busa a bit easier, and more controllable, with wider power band. Are you getting Busa and ZX-9, or is it an either / or choice ? Below: 98 ZX-9, 100' from start line, full throttle. Long, low, all of 1st gear. (200' +/_) http://albums.photopoint.com/j/View?u=230409&a=1708639&p=16035629&Sequence=1

Thanks Frank,
I'll try that. I'm currently running the stock configuration. I recall an earlier thread that seemed to have a preferred setup.
Time to search....

If you can't get it to do what your after with the damperner settings then you might have to run the spring nuts down a few threads on the shock..
There are some things that you can do to your front danperner settings that could help also but the rear will show the most of all.....

Gas it up in first and as soon as it's up shift to second. Use the 2-finger grip on the clutch. And remember it's never as high up as you think.
