heh, shit. I coudlnt tell who was trying to tell me what.



Anyway, You're right. those changes were done over a few months, and each one got better and better. The clicher was the +3 sprocket. Larger diameter pulled in the wheel. Now, I like what the +3 has done to my acceleration and whatnot, but i guess I dont have a choice here.

I'm debating whether to raise the front or go back to the stock rear (less grin, but it'll save on some gas).


also, I guess it's just me, but I only feel safe when I'm at the controls. Its to the point where I'll refuse to ride as a passenger in anyone else's car or bitch on a bike.

I'm heading down to tampa today to get some work done at the school, so we'll see how impractical the bike is to ride..

lol at will

raise the front and put stock rear sprocket if possible. less wheelie for you and more gas saved.

check the link i have in my sig to get you started on your suspension settings then go from there.

please be careful. btw, are you using your hayabusa again (the one that got rear ended) or do you have another bike now?

I just got on campus, and it seems ridable if I dont TRY to make it wobble (like yanking the bars) and if i'm very smooth around a corner at indicated 110-125 it wont go apeshit on me. It might rain today, so idk how much I can test this thing out.

I had Chan from Kinetics do my suspension, and while he bitched about how shitty the stock busa suspension was for a guy my size (135lbs wet), he did pretty good with getting it down and he was the one who suggested i lower the front and raise the rear like I did.

Still running the totalled busa. btw, I wasnt rear ended. Drunk driver swerved into me, hit the front of the bike. Bike flipped in the air throwing me off, and landed on its tail in a ditch. That's why It looked like it was rearended.

When next I have time, I'll put back the stock rear, and see if it makes a difference.
