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>
