Hey Busa-ologists,
All I wanted was nice looks! But extending my swingarm brought on rubbing problems. So how can I reapir this problem and I can't return back to normal extension!.

That's one of the problems of having a extended arm

you want the look and you lose clearance and handling

I know this! If you don't have a fix, then Ride On!

you have to raise the tail with dog bones, that should fix it, not sure though...

 

[SPEEDEMON]

or maybe stiffen up the rear shock...

Dang smoke, gettin kinda harsh sounding torwards BA.

Onto the problem, crank up the preload on the rear.

Raise the rear

Our you talking about the lower screw or the top screw that has the (S) and the (H)? Also, which one will keep the pressure from going down on to the tire? Thanks for your reply! I wasn't being hard, I'm just in the military!

+1 on the preload adjustment.... You can also have the rear spring replaced or the inards redone! Both will do magic for your ride.

It should be on the spring. You'll need a special wrench if I'm not mistaken (I'm not too familiar with the busa, yet) I've helped GMbusa with his, and I think it requires a spanner wrench. When looking at the shock, you have the spring over it, and at the top or bottom of the spring there is a preload adjustment (basicly tightens the spring, also very slightly rauses and lowers the bike). I hope I explained it well enough. Unfortunately I suck at directions. Hopefully someone can get on here and explain it better.

Sorry guys! BA, I apologize!

Plus my wifee wants me to go to the movies and I want to ride to SGMP today to check the events:

I circled the part I'm talking about. Just adjust it to tighten the spring, you should be OK.

Should be self explanatory, the lower "nut" acts as a lock for the upper "nut" so it doesn't loosen while riding.

 

[yamahor]

again, someone correct me if I'm wrong.

 

[BA BUSA]

Loosen the lock nut and crank down more tension on the spring...then retighten the lock nut

 

[Smoke_Dog]

What about the gold color pins just below the (p) in the wor Spring and the one above the Circled area?

 

[Smoke_Dog]

Thanks BA! Thats what I'm going to do! Thanks again!

I don't know about those. I wouldn't touch them. What BA said is what I was going for.

Those are the suspension adjustment screws....one is form compression and the other is for rebound, check your owners manual they have some recommended settings and explain how to do it. For now just crank up some tension on the spring....it's called adjusting the PRELOAD.
