Handling Question - First Time Busa Rider
- Thread starter Dr. Zaius
- Start date
Your statement above indicates with an almost 100% assurance (assuming it has not been lowered, fat tired or otherwise phucked with in the name of fashion) that the rear tire has flat spotted and/or the front has devloped flat spots to the sides of the center of the tire.
How many miles on the tires?
Are the wear bars showing?
Post a close up pic of your tires.

This is what I am experiencing also.
As I recently learned she can corner with much grace if ridden correctly.
I am going to do track days to learn more with this bike.
By the way
to the ORG and ride safe bro.Bubba

Bats Azz Bogus, you know better. 
The busa corners better than I do. Ride it awhile and it'll feel like a 600 before long.

That's completely up to the rider and riding style. Some only get 2500 out of them; I got almost 7000 out of mine. . . Just depends on how you ride. Your steering issues could be a few things. First of all, at low speeds it will always steer into the turn. However, if it's being forceful and you're having a hard time keeping it from almost snapping to the lock, you need new tires. If it's just hard to turn you either just need to get used to it, or the original owner may have upped the weight of the oil in the steering damper. A lot of people up it to 90 weight which can make a pretty big difference in the steering effort needed by the rider.
Depends on riding style but yeah, it's real easy to use up a set of tire in 3000 miles, real easy.
Are you at the wear bars?
Like this?
Wear bars circled.
If you are than there is no way it's gonna handle good.

As the tires wear it requires more and more pressure on the inside bar in a corner to mantain a line. Put new tires on and bingo, right back to neutral handling.
The wider the tire the more pronounced the feeling.

to the oRg. The slower you take a corner the harder it is for me.

+1 to that! As stated above, I got almost 7,000 out of the stock BT56. It just depends on riding style. From the looks of it, the previous owner didn't do much but cruise around it, being as it's still completely stock. I would imagine you've got plenty of tire life left.
If it has battleaxes on there take them off and burn them... actually do a nice burnout first. Im a new busa owner, had them on there, my friend said get rid of them they suck. I needed a new pair anyhow... WOW WEEE WHAT A NEW BIKE. far as im concerned... they are W-O-R-T-H-L-E-S-S
