I had the same problem for a year or more , right after I went intercooled turbo system .Thought it was the added heat from going turbo(made sense) and I chased the problem like you ,using every avenue. Ran out of options/remedies like you??? Turns out it was the factory weld at the base...

Yeah I kind of figured who was who, but not 100% , thanks for the intro. Tunnel corner is the one! Not about getting a knee down(did manage too, on all doable corners though-1,3,5,9,13,15,16),just felt very comfortable there! Well to comfortable, I did get a faster than usual entry there...

Canab thanks but will have to refrain from further discussion as this is being purposely derailed:banghead: Let me expand my point and hope others will also. Twotone ... That was a general and baseless sentence you made, care to explain.??? BTW ,IF OUR LAST EXCHANGE ON THE RAISING...

I did this simply as a fail safe. She does not use it as one, nor do I condone the use of a ventura rack other than its intended design. The fact that she likes it there, is all that matters. Thought she might be offended, as questioning her abilities. One less worry for me also.

Oh yeah forgot the tire question. My only choice Dunlop Q3 ! always. but I do have tread issues ,as this tire(750) is showing delamination. 2ND rear in a row to do so. 2 track days and plenty of tread left. Figure it will do 1 day more before retiring it. Whats your opinion on # of track...

Was not sure which team gixxer member you were, talked to 2 of you? I will not assume as that will not do. Yeah .that is actually farther than I anticipated leaning her over.I can tell you where it happened though as it was BY FAR my favorite turn from the get go, on both bikes. It was the...

Agree the gen 1, if you are going to be hard on it. Gen 2 is a much better bike in every aspect, short of stature(size). BTW I have both also, and my gen 1 is a turbo with 51,000 on it. Still do not have that mileage(or close to) on 2 diff gen 2,s ,about 33,000 combined. The gen 1 is...

Thanks guys, Badnasty08.., my wife would TOTALLY disagree with you, she has prob. 30,000 to 40,000 miles on the busa(3 of them) since 02. Probably more than most put on their bike over all. Put this back rest on, as we both ride less than in the past. Always was confident in her...

A week after getting back from a track weekend at Barber, our first ride since results in finding this souvenir! Took all of a second to figure out where it came from!??? I was instantly SAD, then elated as to its origin,a memory literally etched into the bike. I will not fix it, was the...

Did this a little while back, thought I would share for those with a ventura rack system. Had to buy the smaller rack(used ebay 40$ shipped) and then found a new Harley back rest(CL 45$ shipped)locally. Used what I had lying around to put it together. Came out great and works just as well-...

I have a HMF Bigbird can off my turbo bike- 2 1/2 inch opening/baffle. Will be louder for sure:thumbsup:, but may affect back pressure in a neg. way???? I would think at the end of the system it would not be as big a deal, as the mid pipe is also 2 1/2 inch on the bigbird system. I would...

Arch, that about says it all, my results to the tee,spectacular tire. I have run nothing but qualifier, Q2, Q3. Would love the Pirelli's also if I could afford them(I did love them). But they are really not so much a step up , but a step sideways to your wallet. Dunlop ,Street or track, you...

One thing I can add is that every company short of Suzuki, has a bike I would be more than happy to ride,and I only own Suzuki's! Of all the latest/greatest, the NEW R1 has me the most intrigued. The h2 has the wow factor covered in spades ,but I think the r1 is going to be the new target...

Tony you know better than to question those in the know?:rofl: They probably have already done numerous miles in EVERY aspect of riding this bike = ALL THE ANSWERS,:banghead: OR.... Or in simpler terms, this is way outside the normal MO and feel encumbered, POTENTIALLY THREATENED?:lol: How...

Stop making sense orenp ,What's your point ,enlightenment?..as if that will work....carry on.
