    tank pads

    I have used both Stomp Grip and Tech Spec on various bikes. I found Stomp Grip very grippy but it does tear your leathers up over time. Tech Spec seems just as grippy but is much kinder to your leathers. I ride 6 days a week, so Tech Spec for me.

    Michelin Pilot Road 4 or Pilot Power 3?

    I had run Pilot Road 2's and 3's for the last few years and had no complaints about them. Due to no longer having to do big motorway miles to work and back every day I switched to a pair of Pilot Power 3's. The bike was transformed, I absolutely love them. So much more grip and feedback getting...

    Rear wheel spin

    It is normal for the rear wheel to rotate a little. Started cold on a rear stand, mine will rotate a little until everything warms up. Once warm the rear wheel stops rotating.

    I have a new bed partner that I am trying to get rid of!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Just start reading a "whats the best oil thread", puts me to sleep everytime.:laugh::laugh: Seriously though, the old wives method of a glass of milk come about because milk contains tryptothan, which helps sleep. You can get tryptothan as a supplement which is more potent and works better...

    What do you like AND dislike about your Busa

    Like: Power, torque, acceleration, stability, and it just looks like a beast. Many upgrade paths exist if desired. Dislike: Standard screen is useless as it blocks view of the instruments. Brakes as OEM are a little lacking vs the bikes capabilities. Note: Most things people...

    The idle adjustments on gen 1

    Not too tight though. Don't want to be setting that cruise control on tight left handers. :laugh::laugh: Seriously though, there is no spec for fast idle cable freeplay. As with throttle cables (even when set to spec), check bars lock to lock after cable adjustment to make sure there is no...

    The idle adjustments on gen 1

    Adjust idle with engine at normal running temp. Set at 1050 to 1250rpm. Once idle is correct you can adjust fast idle. At operating temp the fast idle lever should raise the engine rpm to 3500. Once set, the fast idle from a cold start should have the engine idling at 2000 to 2500rpm and should...

    Which rearsets do you prefer/recommend?

    Yep, I've yet to meet anyone in person using Gilles that has had a problem or doesn't love 'em. I have no problem at all with someone relating a bad experience with a product and explaining the reason or circumstance, as it can help others avoid a poor product, but a generalised "stay away or...

    Which rearsets do you prefer/recommend?

    Curious about your reasons. I have had my Gilles on for almost a year now and love 'em. Never had an issue. I have mine quite high and rearward vs stock. Interested in why you went back to stock.

    Ever see something so cool you would do it even if you were going to crash?

    From memory between 400 and 450kph top speed and can pull up to 10G's. Simply amazing stuff.:bowdown:
