I just got an 05 busa about a month ago and it seems that for some reason...today when I went to put the sidestand down, it was really really stiff and hard to put down. I also noticed that the stand has some play...like when I lean my bike over that the stand will move out a bit when the...

Yes, You guys are al right...I am not going to mess around. I will just buy a new tire. I just hope the dealer has a new one in stock so I can ride tomorrow.

Went over some glass and it totally punctured my rear tire. So a couple of questions... Is it possible to patch this tire or will I need a new one? If I do need a new one...Do you think I can schooze the dealership into getting it to me for free? Let me know. I am very sad....stupid glass.

Oh no no...I didn't ride it home that way...LOL I took the cover off to take the pics and must have bumped it while taking the cover off....LOL Not sure what exact mods I will do....new cans more than likely...not sure about the hump mod...I am kind of mechanically declined...LOL Thank you for...

Here is my brand new 05. She has only 44 miles on her now...stupid break in crap. LOL

I haven't named her yet, but I am thinking of mods and stuff. But I will say....wow to the power of this beast. This is brand new 05 Blue and Silver.

I have to tell you, I just traded in a ZX-11 for my new 05 busa. I will tell you this. I used to full throttle my 11 and that thing was hella fast...I mean hold on tight or you might fly off. And I would wheelie it all the time by cutting the throttle and slaming it right back on. Fun...

Woah there skippy...already talking about moding my new baby...LOL To be honest, I have been looking on this site for about a year now...and have always wanted a busa...and finally I just broke down and said, screw it. So now I have my baby and not sure exactly what kind of mods I even want...
