Making the Busa Lighter

Me suited + Bike are below 590.

Are you running a Intercooled Turbo kit capable of 600hp+ with a large water chiller?

Hi. Yes I have I have a radiater that is in front of the radiater and one built into the intake with a 2nd electric water pump and working on a way to super cool the fuel too.

@StreetShark it’s not a dog at you, my point is that he is running something more extreme (as well as others) so that weight isn’t happening with a LSR setup. Not to mention light bikes don’t work on the big end.

A 40-200 dash is much different than running 250+. He’s trying to run 270+ just for reference…

SWITCHING to an Akroypovic full exhaust will save 32 pounds and lighten your wallet by about $1300.

if not already mentioned, a pair valve delete and you can move the rectifier inside the tail section and get rid of a bunch of brackets. delrin end bars, aluminum rear sprocket, lithium battery, lighter foot pegs, keyless gas cap. just some of the easy and inexpensive parts to swap to take weight off.

Does anyone here have any idea how much weight is reduced by doing the PAIR valve delete?

Pair Valve ?????? | Engine and Performance mods

Do you guys have a link on how to remove the pair valve? do i need to remove the exhaust? and i see that you can buy the block off plates or the whole kit with gaskets? do i need just the plates or whole kit? it is a 04 bike. Thanks Joey

3 or 4 oz if I remember correctly, and the Gsxr's are the same, as I weighed the one from my '03 last year

How much do you ride ? After 6 years on the battery, go lithium, believe you’ll save 7 or 8 pounds, when the chain needs replacing, go with aluminum rear sprocket, another 7 or 8 pounds, get rid of the tool bag a pond or two. The biggest savings you could make would be fuel exhaust, single sided 100 + pounds
