I just got back from a road trip from Calgary AB into BC, Montana & southern Idah0.

I put the bike back together, fired it up and it ran like normal again. Your right though it was a stinky process!

I just sync'd the TB's. While I was doing it I noticed the bike was running super rich. Is this normal while syncing the TB's?

I just found the thread on here that answers my questions.

I just got back from an annual trip into the States. Six of went, tents & sleeping bags. We went from Calgary AB to: Montana, Idaho, Oregon, Washington, BC and back into Alberta. We did 4335 Kms. We rode the twisties from a top Lewiston, Hell's Canyon, the Fossil-Shaniko 218 highway, Oregon...

Ok thanks, I have a shim kit so I was thinking I could get the EX clearances to 0.010 in. Not sure if I'm being too picky. The valve cover gasket looks good so I'll reuse it. The bolt gaskets look like they have little cracks in the rubber so I ordered new ones. Thanks again...Steve.

Hello everyone, I just need some advise on valve clearance. Last year I bought my first Busa (05) with 6000 miles on it. Now it has 10,500 miles and I decided to check valve clearance. The intake valves are good, they all have 0.006 in clearance (0.004-0.008 in). The exhaust valves all have...

I just googled hayabusa factory pro shift kit install, which lead me to a thread on the forum called More shifting help. https://www.hayabusa.org/forum/general-bike-related-topics/92211-more-shifting-help.html

True enough, I haven't had a false neutral in months now. I suppose I'm being over cautious with installing the shift kit, but it's nice to know it won't happen again....when it happens it makes such a terrible noise my whole body cringes!

When I read up on false neutral and adjusting the shift lever I also read about "shifting like you mean it". Regardless of that I found that at high RPM from 5-6 = false neutral.

Bought my first Busa (05 LE) in June, I've had a couple false neutrals between 5-6. I lowered the shift lever & that helped, only once a false neutral since. Went ahead and installed the Factory Pro shift star kit this weekend. Mike1180 has an awesome photo post on installing the kit. Surprised...
