[Big D's Busa]

Hello does anyone know what the stock pre-load is on the spring, like how many threads are showing. Thanks

I actually had the bike strecthed out and I turned my spring all the way up, but now I have it back stock and its just way to much. I forgot how many was actually showing before I messed with it.

Don't know if it's stock, as I'm the second owner, but mine has 10-11 threads showing.

gen I or II? Mines a stock Gen II and has 6 showing from the top.

Use your preload adjustment to set the sag and you are good to go regardless of the factory setting.

Thats the ticket

While on this subject, I'm sitting at stock wheelbase (Gen II) lowered via brocks dog bones (lowest setting) and soupy's spacers up front with the forks slid through. I have a lowering strap up front mounted as needed. I weigh between 165 - 170. What would be a good starting point on the rear shock settings for drag racing or is this a complete trial and error situation from the get go?
