don't know about scott oiler but i have hawke oiler setups on both my ducati and hayabusa. to reduce the mess of oil on the tire, i just hit the oil button a few times while driving slow through town (less the 10mph), in this way the chain gets lubed nicely but there is not enough force to...

throttlemeister if your local area is lots of freeway, that is a must.

well, first bike? hmmm. i've ridden sportbikes for 40 yrs now and the busa is fairly easy to ride if you respect it and progress through the learning curve. but, as a high perf bike it is a bit heavy, so if you are under maybe 5'8", less than maybe 150 lbs it will probably be a handful for you...

i've had good luck with my original chain, about 9000 miles now and only 2 small adjustments since new. i put a hawke electronic oiler on my bike: http://www.aircraftgallery.com/chainoiler/index.html

anyone know of a good radar detector that shows a bright flashing light when it gets a hit?---that way i don't have to mess with helmet wiring. got nailed last week going 78 in a 55 zone---i was not hotdogging and i honestly didn't know i was rolling that fast. the cop nailed me going the...

i'm not quite as big as you guys (5'11") but have owned about 20 different sport bikes. for the performance level the busa is the most comfortable bike i've ever been on. a big bike that has very civilized handling. i do a trick in stop and go traffic, i NEVER put my feet down unless i have a...

I am 52 and have ridden high power sport bikes for over 30 years. I have fallen off twice, both times my fault. Without a doubt the hayabusa is the ultimate bike for me. I've had all the italian exotics and jap racers. Traded a guzzi sport and a sukuki tl1000r for the hayabusa. no comparison. 20...

I have been riding bikes for approx 30 years. You do not need to be afraid of the busa, just respectful of it. It has very quick throttle response, but is much lighter on it's feet than it looks. It is a brute if you want it to be, but also very sweet around town due to nice clutch, lack of...

I use an electronic chain oiler that keeps the chain very clean, have 9500 miles on original chain, have adjusted it twice, looks new. http://www.aircraftgallery.com/chainoiler/

age 52, traded up from a TLS1000. Been riding sport bikes for over 30 years, had 'em all; Ducati(s), Triumphs, Guzzi Lemans, hot Jap bikes, etc. Nothing compares---this is the ultimate sensory machine, and I have plenty of toys. One of the few devices that will let you know that you are alive...
