Thanks for the help, I guess Ive never seen it out of place. thanks again

Another pic

Can someone please tell me what this thing is.  Ive never seen it before.  It had been hangin against the swingarm, it took tearing everything down for a tappet clearance check. It has two wires that connect to a plug, and gets rolled into the wires in front of the computer, but not connected...

Ive got a strange problem and need some serious help. I took the top off so I could check for clearances. The seal where I would need the RTV Black Seal seems to have already been sealed up. I can't get it off and don't see a need to, the seal is just fine that goes around. First off, when the...

To check everything, it takes 30 minutes if you have the tools. I can list all the tools, which aren't much, and walk you through it by posting instructions. If you have the miles or think need it, you might as well do it. Its too easy to not do it. The manual is good, but it shows you things...

Tell me about it, Im saving alot of money, and I get to test all of the leads and other components while checking the clearance. It was going to be three weeks for a pressure test (which I found out you can buy the hardware for $30 to do it), so I figured I would do it myself since I have the...

Thats what I wanted to hear.  Im going to do the work myself, it doesn't take that long.  Plus getting your bike worked on is a 3 week wait at least now that everyone is buying bikes.  Shims where the only thing they had in stock.  I have all the tools and hardware to do the job already, and the...

I finally bought the bike after someone I am going to check the tappet clearances, diameters, and other measurements in the engine to make sure everything is correct. My problem is I got the 99-00 service manual and the 02 update, but Im not sure if the values in that manual are the same for the...

Thanks man, I appreciate it. Jinkster had a good write up on how to do it all. It doesn't look hard as long as you have the right tools and you don't spill your Dr Pepper inside. Checking the valves is one thing, adjusting them is another story Its one of things that once you do it once, you can...

Thanks, glad to finally be a part. I did do a search but didn't find anything useful, more questios and no answers. I forgot the word "tappet" in my search though. When I said seals, I did mean gaskets. Im glad about that because noone carries them. Why would I need sealent for a side. Is it...

Ive been watching the forum for awhile. This is my second Busa after dad drove the first one straight into a wall(he is a rider). I finally bought me another knowing some problems were there. It is at 15k miles and everything seems to be good but the problem with starting. I want to check to...
