What's up everyone.. Seems I have the same problem I noticed a very high pitched whine while the bike was running, but I made nothing of it as the bike was running fine. Then (as stated above) at high RPM's the bike is sluggish. I'm glad I now know what's the issue. Now, here's my delima. I...

I agree. I'm down for a Jersey bike fest or bike run or something

LOL... Valid point. But I'm not to concerned with MPG's. Unless I'm on a road trip and gas stations are far/few between

Saturday, I had the bike checked out at a local store. He checked the lever and engagement and said this is normal. He also asked, when I'm in 5th or 6th and I crack the throttle does the RPM's rev and then come back down (indicating a slippng clutch) and I said no. The bike just pulls as...

I do have adjustable levers but I doubt that's the problem. I have checked the lines and I dont see any fluid leaks or anything. I (personally) haven't abused the bike. Not even a single burnout since I had the bike. HOWEVER, I did buy the bike used so I can't comment on the way it was ridden...

Does anyone know how hard it maybe to replace the clutch on my 08 Busa? Seems like it doesnt start to engage until the level is about 70% released. Also, how much doesa clutch run or what should AI expect a shop to charge me to do it? Thanks 08 Busa 14XXX miles

LOL Nah, I'm in Jersey I usually fill up at about 1/4 of a tank. But I do remember one time I filled up and and rode till the gas light came on. That averaged a little over 28MPG. I'm sure if I plan a nice long trip, I can get much more. Especially if it's all highway miles.

Yep. That was my best. And I'm not complaining because I didn't but a Hayabusa for the MPG's LOL

Eh, to each his own I guess. Whenever I slow down I usually downshift as well. This is whether I'm driving a manual transmission or my bike Last thing I want to do is try and speed up...oh wait, I'm in the wrong gear to do that. LOL

I was gonna say.... How the hell are you guys getting 40+ MPG's? LOL I'm a spirited rider (Not aggressive) and my best was about 28mpg's Also are you guys serious about doing 30MPH in 6th gear? I'm barely in 2nd doing 30

I was thinking the same thing. Why cant you press the brakes at 185mph... I have with no problems. Well, I maxed at 170 then lost my balls so I slowed down. but I had no issues tho

How often does your busa see 6th gear.

Sorry to hear that. It almost happened to me last year when I bought my 08 Busa. Not paying attention, I thought the kickstand was down, but wasnt all the way forward. As I got off the bike, it started to roll forward and lean the the left. I grabbed the handle bars, squeezed the front brake...

thanks fellas....

Just out of curiosity. Is it fairly simple to remove the speed limiter on my 08 busa??
