loose vs. damaged
« on: March 10, 2010, 01:05:19 AM »
Hey fellas my buddy just bought an 01 busa from someone and the guy said that the suspension is loose because thats the way he likes to ride, i was wondering is there a such thing as riding with a loose suspension or could the suspension just be blown. And if it is loose and can be adjusted do anyone know the factory settings?
Don't be scared, twist the throttle, it's only a BUSA.

Ok, thx alot. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't broke. I guess it's time to dial it back to a comfortable ride
