Now you need to bring it down to LS so you can practice turning

I have already put the demand to the HMFIC of the household and was granted permission!  Not like she had a choice in the matter.  HAAAA

Thus far, I have had no mechanical issues. The car runs SUPER cool. The only thing that has been an issue is the CV boot not holding onto the CV.  This is my fault as I am using hose clamps.  At full droop the hose clamp comes into contact with my upright.  I have a plan but I have not fixed it because I freaking HATE CV grease.
The other odd thing is sometimes at higher RPM I can feel the clutch slipping.  All the springs will be the Schniz Racing HD units.

i am 200% with you on cv grease and why i miss my u joints!!!!!     

so check the slave cyl for the clucth and just to be sure..... are you running synthetic oil?

[fabr]

I run Mobil1 V Twin synthetic oil with heavy springs. Never had any clutch issues at all  and I shift all the time. Killed the second gear dogs in 2 trannys so far but the clutch is still good .Going on 10 years or so.

synthetic in my r1 and zx10r engines slipped bad under heavy load. dropped the synthetic and flushed the trans twice.... no more issue with kawa and yamaha oil. yes the synthetic had the anti slip agent

Plus one on the Mobil 1!
I run 15-50 since the beginning of my Busa universe, as per the Busa Gods on the .org  https://www.mobil.com/en/lubricants/for-personal-vehicles/our-products/products/mobil-1-15w-50/
All good so far, after lots of lashings!
Are you running a slave brace/support with the heavy springs?
Also, what clutch?

[fabr]

I have stock busa frictions/steels. I think I have Schnitz springs. AND stock clutch basket and torque limiter.

I am running the Mobil 1 synthetic for motorcycles.

The clutch as it sits is new OEM Suzuki steels, frictions and springs.  The steels and frictions are in place proper too.  there are a couple steels that are thicker that go in the center of the pack.  The back torque limiter has been welded too. 

I ran Rotella diesel oil in my 750 and never had any problems and I was always on the limiter with that.  LOL

A thought is maybe the clutch isn't slipping, i may be seeing tire spin?  On the wet stuff, it seems to hook REALLY good with no slippage.  Seen in this video below @ 13:42.  !!!

apperantly it works. i never tried it in my busa after the r1 and zx slipped from it.

impossible to tell from video but def fun to watch lol so i looked on sxs blog to see the footage from nicks cam......they didnt post any.  they wouldnve had the better angle imo. in that video it looks like for a just a second your front wheels were on the verge of a slight lift.

Yeah, I know they had footage of that too.  They also had footage of some SICK wheelies.  Their whole crew was doing these short laps around an area that had a PERFECT roller to wheelie.  I joined their party and did some awesome wheelies.  That didnt make the cut.  In fact they showed a friend of mines 4 seat RZR and that was in there.  Him and I did several wheelies side by side too and that wasnt in there. 

It is VERY light in the front under hard acceleration.  I bet if I was rolling and did a clutch dump it would come up.  On rollers I can do a little clutch dump and carry the fronts.  FEELS AWESOME!!!!
