changing gearing
#1
not sure if I want to go down this track or not but if I do what is involved in getting the speedo to read correct. I am thinking of gearing down a little for the bit of extra down low punch, cheers Steve. ps which is better one tooth on the front or 2 or 3 on the rear.

Steve, try going -1 at the front and +2 at the back. (I did this.)
As Greeny says, use a SpeedoHealer to recalibrate your speedometer.

Mine shows 4000rpm@120kph, but at 4200rpm the speedo would be more accurate with std gearing - 17/40.
My bike with 18/40 gearing is approx. 0.5% slow.
Speedo Healers are great when you change gearing, you just need to do a quick recalibrate for an accurate reading!!

i did 1 on front made big difference but also now considering doing 2 on back to. did this on my old gsxr1000 03 model but over did it front wheel was always in the air. how ever think the busa being slightly longer and heavier would handle this nicely makes it very responseive and will still get bike up to near 300kph umm i mean on a track that is (wink wink)

Just a quick one lads,

Whats the most you could get away with before needing a different length chain?

Am thinking 2 on the rear for some more paws up action.

Thanks

If you change the sprockets you should always change your chain at the same time.
