600 swingarm

[SikBusa]

Is the 600 swing arm shorter than a busa, nice if it is, great for wheelies.

this is exactly why ur not supposed to wheelie a busa

Why would I want a 600 srad, its a baby/starter/newbie bike, ive had a bandit, 750 srad, GSXR 1000 k2, TLr, R1, SP1, ZX12r just to name a few bikes and have been riding for about 15 year's and concider myself to have rode most bike's with alot of expereance, I took out a CBR 600 recently and thought it was boring slow underpowered, if I could I would buy a GSXR 1000 ks, the busa is a great allround bike including carrying pillions. I just want to make the bike more suited to me. I may even keep the standad gearing.

In the FAQ there is a write up on shortining the busa to make it more for the twisties, but also to this would be nice to do this by changeing the swingarm since it fits, the are obviously a few out there that have done this, I am not into extended bike's for drag racing.

I want the handling to be as good as or a little better than standard without spending £££, just a few bolt on part's and mod's.

As for busa's and wheelie it's realy a pic on why your not supposed to wheelie period, just look at the Ghost Rider & his 499 BHP Turbo:

It's all about fun for me.

Read through loads of posts about 600 arms and also handleing.

I dont want to raise the hight, I am short. I find the standard hight just about ok, maybe a little high but manageable.

I dont want to extend, i'm not into drag racing.

I use it for fun and is a great all round bike, want to mod it just to suit me more.

I have a 600 arm with me would like to fit it without upsetting the handleing, ie: standard seat hight. What needs to be done please?

I have not mentiond 1" higher, and other's on hear have suggested it will run stock hight, that is why I am asking, second time because it stray's of subject and wanted a definate answer or advice.

THANKYOU.

here is a definite answer then..

a 01-03 gsxr 600 swingarm,unmodified,will not run at stock height on a busa..

it will run,with threaded lowering links,and a 600 pivot,close to 1.75 lower...that is the HIGHEST you will be able to run it...

with 3 hole links,you can only use 3rd hole(lowest setting),as 1st hole will hit,as will second(VERY SLIGHTLY),hence using threaded links you can fine tune it closer then 3 hole links..

using the 600 pivot is a MUST,as if you use the busa one,the bike will be unrideably low..

hope this clears things up..mike

[busastars]

Thanks, that does clear up a few thing's as it has been suggested it will run stock. This is the whole reason I was thinking of going down this route.

Many times guys telling you things on the net know less than you do. Not the case with Canadian Mike, If he says this is the limit then its the limit. a few here know as much about 600 arms as Mike... none know more.

I modified my swingarm to be able to run at proper height.  Took some grinding/cutting/welding but it worked.
