    Type of fork oil

    I recently changed to Motule Expert/Medium... It has a CST rating of nearly double that of OEM LO1 rating. The ride is very controlled and I believe I came back to 4 clicks out without excessive dive under hard/panic braking levels. To accomplish true comparison everyone should use the CST...

    New To The Busa....

    LOVE LOVE LOVE the BUSA!!! Get torque curve, Suspension spot on now. Yoshi R77's sound great (without baffles). M3's seem to take awhile to warm up but I am sure that that will improve as road temps come up to summer temps... Speaking of which... Time to ride!! Enjoy all !!

    Fairing Removal, How Many Times?

    Its just unnerving hearing those quick/brutal pops!!! I think Ill try some heavy paste wax as its a dry lube of sorts. Ill post results.... Removing the forks on next days off for seal change and going to a 10w oil I think.

    Fairing Removal, How Many Times?

    Is there a way to make the sliding part of either side fairings a bit easier? Maybe applying a bit of wax vetween the main sliding areas and leaving it on. I would think almost anything else would leave a oily film which would retain dust/debris making them even harder to slide. Anyone ever try...

    New To The Busa....

    Ok it just must be my eyes... Mine appears just the same as this. The right side exhaust APPEARS to be closer to the edge of the tire than the left does it not?
