i bought my '08 last October which only came with one key, took it to CVS & had one cut with a blank key from ebay, it would turn the ignition to on but panel didn't light up, nothing worked. so I chanced it & took it to a key shop & says their machines are precise & guaranteed their workmanship...

Looks good, just a comment, the original bracket is a one stable piece and doesn't move, however, your new addition is bolted directly to it, is there a wedge in the back to prevent side to side movement? If there isn't, although you torque it down tight, it will have some movement due to...

Bought my 2008 last October & found out about the recall, but it was already replaced. However, when checking, I found out there was another recall, here it is, don't know if its applicable to other years, although I am the 3 owner, they did still did honor the recall & replaced my switch...

I opened the link, in my opinion, it was a good source of info & the 2nd line, 2nd word, top left, it does say, "synthetic".

I have been using the factory oil/filter kit that included the crush washer, however, on the next oil change, not using that kit so I will reuse it again. I have a Harley FXR with a S&S motor that I have been reusing the same washer for a many, many years, but I put a coat of gasket sealer on...

I thought I was experiencing problems with my PC 3 on my '08 & was told to do this; "Should just be able to pop the tank and disconnect it at the injectors, and then plug the factory harness directly back to the injectors". If your uncertain, you can check the pc3 installation instructions on...

I've been riding motorcycles for over 40 years, Honda CB750's, CB350, RD 350/400's, SR500, Vmax, Shovel heads, Sporsters, Evo's, Harley's last 25 years & 15 bikes later, still own 1 Highly modified FXR Police Special. I bought my 1st Suzuki Hayabusa 2008, last October with 8,100 miles, always...

Here is what I posted previously: I was also concerned about stability after removal, however, it's so minimal that it's not a problem. After reading some of the old post, took a ride today on my 2008, never had any issues with bike tipping over, but it played with my mind, every time I stopped...

Ok thanks, really interested to know what the inner perforated tubing sizes, appears the street is about 2.25", maybe the race is 2.50".

Does anyone know what the Yoshimura Mufflers inner perforated tubing (not the baffles) size differences are between the race and street versions? I would assume all the cans internals are the same (RS3, RS4, R77, TRC/TRS) but there might be a size difference in the internal or possibly the end...

Yes, be very careful to lift not pull, or you will break that pin. Bought my 2008 last October, first Busa, and was being very careful with that section of the panel, only to find out that whoever did the previous services wasn't aware of that pin and broke, not only right side but the left...

I used stainless steel type. I read some of the post that others were experiencing problems with the manual rivet guns on SS, so I bought a pneumatic one off Ebay, couldn't be happier, real easy to use, saves your hands. I already had bilateral carpal tunnel & one trigger finger surgery over...

Don't know if this is what you are after. I installed a Black Widow Header Exhaust System a few months ago, like the quality but don't like the almost stock sound. So I've done a few mods but it's still stainless steel, anyway, I've modified a R77 slip on, cut it 3" & added a reducer adapter...

I live in Hawaii & just bought my 1st Busa (bike rider over 40 years, Harley's over 25 years,still have my Harley) last October, its a 2008 & had only 8,100 miles, paid $7,500. I know it wasn't ridden hard because I experienced hesitation @ 6,500 RPM & it was due to a clogged fuel pump, besides...

Someone asked for additional info because he was attempting to do a mod to his exhaust system. It was sent to me on a conversation & couldn't upload any pictures so I am resending it on this site. Anyway, I mated the reducer adapter which I bought via ebay (takes long to receive as its coming...
