Start with simple things. Check fuel quality and ensure filter is not clogged. Check plugs and their conditions as well as coil packs. Ensure vacuum lines are in the correct place and map sensors is hooked up. Not all mechanics actually secure vacuum lines so a spill that put a hole in the case...

Dude that is slick!!!!

All right here goes a long drawn out story!!! I noticed a tiny tiny head gasket on my 01 busa. A professional mechanic that works at a motorcycle shop said he would save me some money and take it to his place and do it on the side to save me money. I ride the bike to his house and drop it off...

The gen 1 on the bike has pressed rings in it. It would need to be milled. I got a great deal on a gen 2 so I went with it so I could keep deck height as close to stock as possible. The shop owner said I could have just doubled the base gasket after milling it. But I like to keep things as close...

I feel the towel will assist with compression. Here's the theory. The blue towel is representative of blue balls. We all know if you have blue balls we go faster.

Re: Jinkster's "how to synch your busa" Ok I have read all of the posts. Did I over look how you calibrate the manometer?

Head totally redone, gen 2 block and she is hot to trot!!!!

A little late on this post. Northern tools sells a 3 inch pneumatic buffer for under $30.

Ok guys, I have a 2001 hayabusa. The head gasket has a tiny leak. I have searched and I can't find a good answer. What is the thickness of a stock head gasket. Also, if I have the head milled what thickness should I replace it with.
