Hi Guys, I recently noticed an issue with my speedo. As much as I like to see my speedo reading 170mph....I found it very disturbing to see it reading this value on the freeway when the cars where keeping up!!! Needless to saw I had a speedo issue. On closer inspection the needle was sweeping...

I had new D207's at high temperature (Mexico and Arizona deserts). I am 165lbs and at 42/42 the bike was unstable at speed. At 160mph the front felt very light. I cault a very light side wind and the front just started sliding across the road. Initially I dropped it to 38/42 and that helped a...

Thanks for the tips Guys... We are going to trailer the bikes until we fine good or interesting roads.

I was going to take the mothership on a trip down to Baja. Has anyone had any experience down that way? - Are the road good? Good for real speed and knee dragging? - Are the cops a problem? - What about insurance? Any advice would be greatly appreciated...

Funny you should mention Ty. He sold me the busa originally. I'll give him a call. I think I met Rob once when he was hanging out at Road Rider. I don't know if he has experience dialing in a Power Commander II though. I will find out. Thx Cisco...

I was thinking of having my 'Busa dyno'ed and tuned at Spears Racing, CA. Does anyone have an experience with these guys? Are they good? Would you recommend them to you mother?

Good questions Cisco. And the short answer is I don't know but I will ask. They are located off of Hwy 17 near Cambell. They are the only Dynojet approved tuning centre. I have a PC2 installed and I wanted to see if they could make her run any better.

I used a 1/2 inch ratchet with a 4ft pipe connected to the handle. It moved eventually... Rotation is normal

Thx GSX1360R...:-)

Ok so tomorrow I hit the drag strip. I have installed a new akropovic exhaust, pcII, 16 tooth front, just in case there is a ZX12 there. However, I am new at this. I have read a lot of the "how to launch a busa" threads. They all seem lacking... Does anyone, who really knows how to launch...

Yeah, I am in California too and know exactly what you mean. Which part are you from?

I was thinking of taking my 99 Busa to the strip soon. I know these things are hard to launch. How did you guys do it?

Gixxer, does this mean you have the brake engaged, the engine at 4K, and the clutch slipping when the lights go? I'd really appreciate anyones' "idiot guide" to launching the 'abusa, step by step, how to get this thing in the low 10's.

I hear he had a special suit to keep him on the bike. His butt was velcro'ed to the seat and his hands handcuffed to the handlebars.
