Default busa owners.

I know this is an SV forum but I'm aware there are a few busa owners on here too! Hoping for a bit of tech advise.

Had the bike a couple of weeks, love it, goes great, comfy blah blah, but also noticed in some cases the rear end (of the bike!!) 'jiggles' a bit on the bends. Only ever had that feeling once before and that was on an old FZR600 which the previous owner had fitted an oversized rear boot. Fitted correct tyre - problem solved...

So I checked my busa - sure enough it has a 200 rear BT014 yet all the specs, handbook etc suggests it should be a 190.

Is this a usual mod for the busa, hence I need to look for another reason or accept it as normal handling, or someone just being daft with oversized boot?

Yer right . Should be 190. Not a bike you want to be fannying about with tyre sizes.

Bet you will enjoy ruining it though. Make it SQUEAL!!!

You are correct it should be a 190 rear tyre on there and certain ones too. As you have the handbook it might be worth checking to see the suspension is set to standard!
