Call me crazy. Yeah, first sport bike. I’ve been riding for over 20 years. I currently ride a Yamaha Warrior. It has ran a 12.92 @ 104. But I want to go faster.
So, I just picked an ‘08 with a 1441 engine, air shifter, and is setup for nitrous. I won’t be hitting that nitrous just yet though. First off, no bottle. And, this bike needs a new chain and sprockets. Change both sprockets, right? But to get that rear wheel off the ground, I need to install some spools, except there isn’t a place for them. I’ll include a pic of the swingarm.
Also, it has the adjustable suspension and one of the bolts is broke off in the turnbuckle. I have the same thing on my Warrior. I don’t think that type is strong enough for the drag strip. I’ll be getting some lowering dog bones.
Every piece of plastic has cracks and really just look horrible. The previous owner tried to repair them with not much success. It also needs new fork seals. I changed out those on my Warrior, that also has inverted forks. The front discs are covered with oil. Should I get new discs, or can those be cleaned sufficiently with brake cleaner?
I’ve been reading several threads already and have found a place to get some new plastics, the other parts that I need. But I’m always open to suggestions. I’m really glad to be here and plan on keeping this Busa for a long time. It will mainly be a track bike but I’ll still keep it street legal. Thanks in advance.
