It's that old nut shell again I'm afraid... I would like peoples opinion on fitting a 200 section back tyre? I'm look for longevity over extreme grip and currently thinking of the Avon st45/46. I've heard they offer 8mm of tread depth and have been re-developed for the hypersports bikes. Im...

Hi guys I'm new to this concept of being able to put the speed back to normal after altering the gearing. I'm just about to alter the gearing however, I am scared shitless on how to use these yellow boxes!! Do they come with instructions? Do they have to stay on the bike? Cheers Mark

heh there... Does any of you bright sparks know what colour the wheels are the busa. Some f£&k-wit tyre fitter scratched my wheels!! They look like a graphite black?? Please help Cheers Mark

That's my point exactly discreet, by virtue of the power to weight ratio the thou does perform. However, surely with all that power to such a light bike how can the wheel be kept down on take offs. I guess that all comes down to experience?? Having owned a B12 with the usual fs mod, that was...

Cheers Jim! I' ll give it a shot tomorrow. Thanks for your time, much appreciated Mark

Heh thanks for the reply cache! I think for the moment I have plenty of power! Still getting used to all that Torque shifting the wheel in an unerving fashion. My sentiments exactly with regards to gixerthou, fast but ever so light= Handful!? Just that I was going through all the threads...

Heh who said this Busa can't shift? I dont know if I'm posting in the right place? Just got my 02busa 2 weeks ago. I 've had no mod's as yet. But I am astounded by the acceleration on her compared with other bikes I have had, B12, VFR8, ZX7, etc.. I have been reading all posts with ref to the...

Heh Jim thanks for the prompt reply! So do you think that could of been the prob? You know, before I had the starter clutch done the idling was OK. What they fettling at? I ve just sent off for a manual(CDROM) so hopefully I' ll get a bit wiser, yeah right!? Thanks for the hospitality Mark

Hi everyone! After having my starter clutch fixed under warranty, more like replaced! I ve noticed the engine seems to be running rough(Lots of engine noise). Also a couple of times the bike as just stopped, not stalled. This seems to happen when I come to an stop at the lights, etc? Looking at...

Could someone also tell me what the difference between the starter clutch and idle gear?

Can I ask the significance o keeping the battery topped up? Why is it this as never happened in other bikes I have had? Is there a battery out there that is more heavy-duty that can be used on the busa? When did you have yours fitted, puck and have u had any probs since? Cheers Mark

I thought I mentioned that I was still under warranty until april of this year. My main concern is that they stated that they will not replace with a 2003 starter clutch?! Which gets me thinking will this happen again, especially after my warranty runs out? Thanks for your help, Puck Mark

Being new to the busa I noticed a significant crack and clanking noise on starting her up the other day. No problems before this so put it down to a charecterisitc of the bike. After doing some research came across this info on this board:- "The first busa I bought was a used (640 mi)...

Hi there guys! Just bought 02 busa and have come up with an immediate prob, no centre stand!  Can someone tell me a little about paddock stands? As the Busa is not a light weight, do you guys require assisstance when putting the stand on? Do Bob-ins help work? Have any of you come across the...
