If I make the cruise this time, I'm gonna drag the Busa. Any tips?

I have straps and I can put the lowering links back on it but, do I need to? Can I just strap the front and have some fun? What tire pressure? I'm on PPIIs

8500 rpm and dump it!

Well..... that's what Deshaun just told me as he was sitting on one of my ZX14's here in my show room.

Seriously, I don't know but I am sure there are people on here that will know.

We can race then, because my car wont be ready by then.

If you are just going for fun then strap the front and lower the air pressure to 22-25, and soften the rear suspension like 2 clicks on each screw. If it's geared factory then leave around 4.5 to 5K

Nick will probably be on here later with WAY BETTER guidance.

Yeah, mine neither that's why I'm gonna race the truck and the bike.


I'll be out there going slow in the bike because I've never dragged one. I'm sure I'll knock the time down as the day goes on. :D

OC- It is -1 on front sprocket. I JUST had the rear raised back up to stock height so I'll just strap the front, lower air pressure and soften the rear like u said. And pray..........

Don't ask me. They were on when I bought it. I'll have to look when I get home. But they were dog bones for the rear. Bike is HIGH without them though. I'm on my tippy toes when i used to be able to flat foot it.

start where your comfortable and work your way up from there in the rpm range, slip the clutch off the line and have fun. im sure others will have good suspension advice, i havent played with that side of it yet.
