i have an 99 busa with 55,500km/s i'm the third owner, and as long as i've had the bike i've heard a noise in the engine. and its still there, and now as the bike gets older and more and more miles are put on, i'm starting to worry about the noise. its tough to describe, but its best heard at...

i could see them tuning the engine a lil more, or maybe upping displacement slightly, or maybe they're secretly doing more windtunnel testing :P

check your sidestand safety switch, my kickstand often slips down a few mm and this triggers the switch and cuts the bike out, sometimes it'll kick back in on its own, i haven't figured out how to keep the kickstand from moving this small amount yet. lifting the kickstand back into place allows...

its no prob to ride with a broken tab on the speedo rotor, only problem is ur speedo will read 25% lower than usual.. this is the problem i had for my first year with the busa til i figured it out. u can even ride without one, and have no speedo. not sure if this affects the odometer, but...

i try to keep my speed about 20km/h higher than the top speed of the police cruisers, that way when they see it on radar they know not to bother. i then pray they don't set up road blocks :P

so i'm leaving job #2 in a row this afternoon, tired as hell, stop at the stop sign, looking for a spot to dive into noon rush hour traffic, feathering the clutch, when the bike starts to jerk n make noise, seems like the chain is riding the front sprocket. i turn it off, and back it into the...

ontario eh.. that's only a few thousand kms from me

nothing bad about a 200, good grip straight up, good grip in the corners.. slower steering isn't great and it may throw your bike off a bit depending on your front and rear profiles, but shouldn't be too bad i prefer a 180 to the 190 or 200, it has all the grip u need, steers quicker, better in...

i get two problems, and going to track school this weekend i'd like 'em fixed first. first one, the typical TO sensor/sidestand switch/mysterious something problem that makes the bike cut out while riding, 0rpm on the tach, then come back on and be fine for a while later. the second, if i'm in...

my toys r the busa, 99 katana 750, 2 honda civics (one my winter beater, one a soon-to-be stock car), an 82 xl125 i'm rebuilding, and i have 2 cats and i'm getting a shepherd/husky pup next week

i'm with the quiet on this one. i have an rs-3 on my katana, and u can hear it for like 2km, i prefer not to have anyone know i'm coming til the last minute. i drive too fast for that :P

i get tons of backfire when off the gas real quick and a few thousand rpms high i think my valves need shimming tho

i had mine up to 340km/h indicated today. front sprocket -1 tooth, i hate when speedos r off

i have to be behind my screen alot, there's alot of drag at 300km/h+. road racers are behind theirs until they start braking, then they sit up and let the drag help slow them. and drag racers just have so much power that a lil bit of drag probably won't affect them on a 8 or 9 second run, but...
