Hi all have fitted some 7" extensions to my 99 busa. Having some problems with getting traction on the strip. Bike is lowered and i am running a shinko ultra soft tyre at 20psi. I weigh about 80kg suited up. Wondering if anyone could help me with some settings for the rear shock ( sag,comp,reb) Thanks.
Or is the opposite the go? Wouldn't it stiffen the rear end and stop is sagging in the arse and lofting the front wheel? (I've got no idea....just guessing)

I was told to stiffen the shock which makes it harder to lift the tyre off the track( sort of makes sense once you think about it )

Get a copy of twist of the wrist..
It shows the amount of sag etc front and back regarding proper weight dispersion...

Drag setting are nearly opposite track stuff ,
rear, squat to launch without bottoming , slow to rise, if it bottoms it picks the front up
front, slow to rise so your carrying the weight of the front wheel immediately, and not getting a push up from the suspension before it tries to carry the wheel

I mised the bit about the 7 over too,
for this your going to need a lot of spring preload as you have put a fair bit of leverage against the std spring pressure effectively softening the spring rate

Steve, sounds like we'll be doing abit of testing out at the drag strip, i have yet to even look at my suspension setup.
As always, Greg is full of info. Thanks Greg.
