My GOD, I've posted links to busa.org and nobody said anything! Here's 06kaw's thread at 1441r.com thy're good folks, I hear.
I see what you mean about your adjusters are jacked up. Indeed, the left is at the third mark and the the right is at the fourth mark. For anyone not familiar with chain tension adjustment, turning the adjuster bolts 1/6 of a turn or less is usually all that is needed to tighten a loose chain. The difference between one whole mark must be at least 5-6 whole turns!!!!!!!
Check the axle nut torque. It looks to me like what happened is that the axle on the throttle side slid backward in the slot. I think the adjuster bolts look like they are both adjusted to the same spot. If the block was contacting, it probably would be on the third mark like it is on the clutch side.
It is VERY strange that the axle would slide backward. The force of the drive chain tends to pull the wheel forward against the adjusters.
One of two possible scenarios here:
#1 They pulled the axle way back on the right to compensate for a bent wheel and forgot to set the adjuster.
#2 The adjuster locknut is loose and the adjuster bolt has vibrated into the swingarm, away from the adjuster block.
Either case, that is quite rigjob. I can't believe they would send it out and call it fixed.
I think you should get a balancing stand and check wheel runout.
How the hell does misaligning the axle compensate for a bent wheel anyway? If it's still bent, now it is bent and misaligned. A wheel that is crooked is crooked in one spot and a misalgined wheel is pointed the wrond way all the way around. If I'm wrong, somebody please speak up.
My .02, DON'T GO BACK TO THAT SHOP. Find another if you must but these guys are stroking you. might as well check that rear wheel before you bother with anything else. That could easily be the whole cause of the head shake. I'd suspect the front wheel but obviously there is something very amiss with the rear.
