    2018 Oil Change

    I read some threads that people were saying that the oil filter wouldn’t come out unless the oil cooler line was removed. I found that to NOT be the case for mine. The clearances seem close (just like the Gen 1), but it was no different. The most difficult part of all this was removing the...

    2018 Oil Change

    Just picked up a new 2018, and I was planning to change the oil last night. I noticed that the oil cooler line is right in front of the oil filter. 1) Has anyone been able to navigate around this? I haven‘t tried to pull the oil filter out yet but am curious. 2) Do I need a replacement...

    Cush Drive Rubber ?

    FWIW- it was one of the first things I replaced when I got mine. Difference was night and day. Edit/Add: I got the red ones.

    What Bikes Did You Have Before Making The Jump To The Busa

    I'm the exception, rebel, and irresponsible motorcyclist who, after riding a 1988 Honda Shadow VLX 600 for three years decided it was time for a sport bike and got the Busa. No "stepping-up" to a bigger bike. 25k miles and no problems. The only alternative would be a newer one.

    Best Oil Filter In The World

    Yep I saw that, too. That was actually a quote from Purolator's website, not from the author of the original site. They said that because they were promoting their motorcycle line, which is made in China.

    Insurance On The Busa

    Can you put out the cash for repairs if you need repairs done? Are you OK with the possibility of your bike getting stolen and not having insurance cover this? Do you have lots of extra cash, and a great medical insurance plan, if you get hurt while riding? If the accident isn't your...

    Best Oil Filter In The World

    Hey friends... so I've asked this question numerous times in other forums, FB groups, etc. and have not found any answer. While doing research what oil filter to use on my Gen 1, I came across this website: https://motorcycleinfo.calsci.com/FilterStudy.html (It has been referenced more than...

    Lane Splitting Alert/info Video For Wa And Or

    Lane splitting in Indiana will get someone killed. I don't know why they even have white dashed lines because people don't pay attention! Has there ever been a successful case of a state not allowing lane splitting, and then reversing this? I'd be nervous to be the guinea pig on two wheels.

    Spark Plugs Slightly Wet- Diagnosis?

    I think I paid $10 with shipping for that fuel strainer. I don't understand why Suzuki thought that this was a better idea than an in-line filter.

    Sounds like you never got an answer to your question... ever get it figured out?

    Spark Plugs Slightly Wet- Diagnosis?

    It's been a while since I've posted an update, so I wanted to chime in. Last fall I went out and purchased a compression gauge kit. After testing my compression, I found the worst- my compression numbers were through the floor. I have done as much research as I can possibly do- reading...

    Spark Plugs Slightly Wet- Diagnosis?

    I'm not completely sure that it's a fuel problem. I'm trying to systematically remove most obvious culprits to less obvious ones. I'm not sure how to measure the fuel pressure; from what I've read, the compression numbers are going to be low since the motor is cold. They may be low, but...
