Tips for setting the busa up for a trackday - RaZ80 - 19-11-2003
I was just wondering if I could get any tips for a trackday that I would like to attend. Maybe Wakefield maybe EC, but I was just wanting to any tips I could for the day out. Aside from fuel and the standard things, I am more looking for front/rear end setup for a rider thats about 110kg.

Art or Science - gazza414 - 19-11-2003
unfortunately you've asked something that all and sundry will have their viewpoints on and potentially you'll be more confused.
Just depends on so much
............. the unfortunate thing is ..the so much is art and how you feel on the bike and how well you can ride.
On saying that you'll need to know what settings the bike currently has and the understanding of the science /cause/affect relationships of pretension/compression/rebound damping.
The Busa has a lovely menu of combinations

Track settings - ressac - 20-11-2003
I know you can set up the suspension and maybe fit a steering damper if you got lots of hp and also tyre pressure. Is there really anything else?
On tyre pressure, on doing a track day at Broadford, the organisers depressurised everyone (regardless of bike) to 30 psi front and back. This was to get heat into the tyres quickly on starting each 20 min session. I later talked to a bloke who used to organise track days and he said that 30 psi on the busa was not good. Coz the busa is so heavy, the tyres have no problem heating up and you should be able to get away with 37 psi. If your pressures are much lower than 37, ie. 30, towards the end of each session the rear boot can get a bit squeamish and start to melt, leaving you with a loose rear end. <i></i>
