I found the same problem (chain tightening up) when I adjusted my chain the first time. It seemed it was tightening up by about a 1/4 inch when I secured the axel nut. I simply adjusted the chain about 1/4 inch loose, tightened it up and it measured out perfect. I didn't notice a problem with...

I can't help but jump in here because I hate to see some bad information keeping someone away from choosing a Hayabusa. You've already purchased yours and have enjoyed the first 150 miles and will make your own conclusions now but others reading this thread may decide not to buy a Busa because...

I'm really interested in the HMF Dual High Mount system but am concerned about some of the comments that say the system is too loud. Can someone who has or has heard this system give me more to go off on how loud these actually are. I really like the looks of this system but woul hate to order...

C'mon guys................................... a Dragon Slayer is a firefighter.

BigGuy, I had a K1200RS right before the Busa. I now own a Ducati ST4 and love it. There is a small handful of bikes that might meet the criteria you are looking for (as others have suggested) but to help pin point which bike will work best for you will mean that you will have to offer more...

I've got a guy coming to pick up my Busa tomorrow. I think it's going to leave a pit in my stomach when I see him drive away with it on his traler. I know it will because the same thing happened back in 95 when I sold my ZX9R and it wasn't half the bike the Busa is. Quite a while back I got...

Had a throttlemeister on my K1200RS. It looked neat but wasn't very convenient to use. I much prefer the less expensive, easier to use throttle locks. My two cents.

Eddie, I have a Two Bros 4-2-1 with the C5 oval carbon. I removed the PAIR system. Two Bros suggested that the bike would run better with it removed. There has been some debate on this site as to the need of removing the PAIR. I did not care for the way the fuel injection system was...

If you want the cheapest way just go to a fabric store and get some black vinyl. Pull your old vinyl off and get some 3M spray adhesive. Lay a coat of adhesive over the old foam and form the vinyl over the foam. After this is done take it to a trim shop and they'll tuck it over the edges and...

I'm not a wheelie master by any means but if your having trouble landing your bike smoothly you should try a clutchless shift into second while there is still plenty of air under the front wheel. Before you open up the throttle to power the front end off the ground apply upward pressure on the...

RCOREA, Start a post to either JeffW or to Cycle Stuff. I'm sure they will respond to you. I believe Jeff got his from Cycle Stuff. If I had cash in hand and were ready to buy I would have more info for you.

I have a set of Heli Bars that I just took off my Busa after about 700 miles. They definitely make for a more comfortable bar height but I think, after seeing and sitting on Jeff W's bike, I'm going to save my pennies for the much more expensive billet top clamp and adjustable bars. If your...

Forty years old, State Farm, full coverage with $500.00 ded. Less than $200.00 per year.

Hey Rohan, I read JohnnyCheese's comment the same way you did. He undoubtedly referred to the SV in a less than polite manor. I own a Busa and an SV. Though I will probably keep using OEM filters for both I understood exactly what you said when you said that the Busa is too high performance...

The slickest way to clutchless upshift on strong acceleration is to apply upward pressure to the shift lever while running up the revs, to shift simply blip the throttle off/on slightly and quickly. The first time I ever tried this I was pleasantly surprised by a better, faster, and easier way...
