Thanks everyone for your replies, I spoke with a mechanic at a mega bike dealer in Austin TX and it's safe to say he has been working on and riding all types of cycles for a long time, he says that for someone that loves performance like me that realistically 16,000 miles is about right for...

Have you ever had the ECU flashed? also that's why I prefer BikeMaster brand batteries, they still very lightweight and don't have the punchy operation of the Shorai batteries.

Never heard that or had that happen on my Gen 2; If you must go that fast then get a Bazzaz "Z- Bomb". it simply plugs into your bikes ECU and tricks your bike that it is still in 5th gear even when it is in 6th - so it will go whatever it can go. It also is a "TRE" for lower gears but I need...

so do "non - iridiums" perform the same, better, worse?

Interesting topic I say myself, the Japanese manufacturers do say every 7500 miles even for a long range tuned Kawi Concours. I have been asking this very question at bike shops around Austin and after a lot of hesitation I get responses like well the old plugs will still work but you may lose...

Wow *** Looks like an awesome show to watch. Too bad I had to learn about it from you though, how ironic is that :whistle:

Hayyyyy ??? good tip!

Re: I need help from the smartest kawasaki engine tech for my gravely pro master z 14 I wouldn't want a Kawasaki engine, all of the big (& heavy) ZX 14's usually throw a rod right out of the block when getting tuned on the dyno, too dangerous. We won't even put a Kawi on the dyno anymore...

I stand corrected on the whole O2 sensor comments, we don't need no stinkin' O2 sensors. I was told about an after market device however that adjusts to altitude and climate changes if you travel but then again I know nuthin' bout it. My old mid-pipe was full of heavy thin meshed...

Good info above! I had an '04 SV1000S earlier in the year and the bike ran fine but it got to when I hit the turn signal button the engine would die. I was told by a professional that it was the stator and/or rectifier beginning to go out. Does your turn signal kill your engine? This was a...

I'm glad you were able to move your leg in time- good reflexes! If this happens to me (God forbid) and I'm still able to write down the license plate; that's the first thing to do as soon as possible then call 911 after that, in that order! I had a freind that had a freind that while busy...

Yep, I got one and you would like to know? I already had the ABS re-call module replaced. This thing only weighs a pound or so, not 15lbs like Cycle World says it does. I'm getting a carbon fiber front fender later on and I do love the flashy high-viz color. I probably like the '08 orange/black...

I have discussed this topic with some guru freinds of mine and I have come to the conclusion for my Gen 2 busa is to leave all of this crap alone! I'm having a full system Akro put on next week and a K&N air filter, PCV with a Bazazz "Z-bomb TRC" and that is all I need done. I'm even...

I would say do yourself a favor and get you a "Throttlemeister" first. They are about $150 and the cruise control to switch out hands on the bars has to be a huge factor. Now I haven't ever traveled that far but just going 50 miles to see my folks it really comes in handy (pardon the...

it's kinda weird that someone would go to that much trouble to custom paint an iconic bike like the busa and then discover that it's too heavy for them just 2 years later. I think they should come down on the price a bit because of the paint job, it's not stock which hurts it more if you ask me...
