Lightech chain adjusters

[TheEmeraldBiker]

Hi guys, does anyone have lightech chain adjusters fitted on their gen 2?
I done a search that brought up an old thread that suggested ones listed for later model gsxr1000's might work but I don't think the op came back to confirm if they worked for him. Anyone else tried them?

Does anybody have exp with any of this companies products ? Does anyone know if the bolt kit for a Gen I will fit a Gen II. I am looking at the engine kit to get black bolts but I wonder if the outside cases and bolts used between the two are so diff it will not work on Gen II ? Does anybody...

From an older video, may be a re-post and on a 500 HP Busa, but nonetheless something to think about for those of you using Gilles. Video: - FAIL/BREAKAGE - Titan Motorcycle Battle - 500HP Turbo Busa vs. 350HP Suzuki Hayabusa[/url] Discussion: Tampasportbikes.com

Lightech Chain Adjusters | Gen 2 Busa Information

Does anyone know which Lightech Chain Adjusters fit our Gen ll? I thought I read somewhere it was the same that fit the 09-16 gsxr 1000, can someone confirm if this is correct. Thanks

Beware the older style of Gilles chain adjusters with the busa. They have been known to brake. The adjuster bolt works kind of like a turn buckle and the tube it threads through is pretty thin. They even shave the inner surface of the square tube so the threads are exposed. It really is only a three sided square tube. The axle nut torque helps hold the axle in place but if it slips, all you have is that flimsy tube pulling back against the axle. I have the old KTS Gilles Tooling axle adjusters on my ZX-14 and the only reason I keep them is because they look cool and I use the stock axle adjuster bolt to hold them in place just like the stock axle block. Never had a problem but the stock bolts are what keeps it safe. ..especially being that I have aftermarket wheels that only take about 30 ft lbs of tq on the axle nut. IDT the off center stock adjuster bolt on the busa would work as well to stabilize the KTS adjusters as the centered adjuster bolt on the ZX-14. Gilles quit making this part for the ZX-14 years ago. I can't believe they still make this for the busa.

I'd go with the Lightechs if they fit. Otherwise the Gilles TCA style.
