Hey wait a minute...

Lowering it so your stubby legs can touch dosnt count as "adjusting for weight"

And how do you bring the bars closer so you can reach with the T-rex arms?

You're a dick

R1 throttle mod with my bikes current setup cheap, cost was $14 or so to my door and the throttle is so sensitive now. No need to grap a handful of throttle.

And that valve stem mod is awesome groundhogday.

Hmmm, probably the R1 throttle tube and blue wheel tape.

Probably the best bang-for-the-buck performance mod is a -1 front sprocket.

If nothing else, just go here, pick your bike on the menu and start looking....

Hey never thought of that. The straight ones are a pain to get too sometimes when checking pressure or adding air.

- one tooth down on the front sprocket
-adjust clutch/brake levers on clip ons up/down for a better feel
-paint the silver footpeg/passenger footpeg assemblys black to match the frame
-adjust the suspension for my fat ass
-rebuild the engine&add a big ass turbo

your vertical valve stem's spring will also not hold air as well over 140 either. the centrifugal force is simply too much. definitely worth $20.

Ya know,I really wanted to do a build thread as a few of the guys asked me to do one but for whatever reason I never did. There are a few threads in the 05/06 forum if you search back into May/June of this year with pictures&some specs.

Im in the process of a full turbo build on my '00 Busa and I will be doing a thread on that;Ive been taking pics since yanking the engine and once I get everything bolted up I will post

Newb question don't flame me lol what exactly does te -1 front sprocket do? My friends were talking about this and they described it as similar to changing gearing on a car, better acceleration?

[njyork42]

Yes.. That is what it does.

[dLegend82]

Id say adjusting the stock suspension was the best/cheapest mod for me.
