    Gear Indicator

    BusaGeek--Put my name on a list also. Love that High tech wizardry. Always thought it would be great to have one of these. Now if you could just get the turn signals to self-cancel....... Pburke@ch2m.com

    Cyclometer mount on Busa

    Factory--for grins I ran my Goldwing past a 100 and low and behold the Avocet will read past 100. Damn, now I'm thinking that maybe this might be a good idea. I'll let you know if I get one mounted.

    Busa Maintenance Checklist and record keeper

    Cisco--can't tell you if it will work on a Palm Pilot, I'm not that high tech. I suspect that if the Pilot runs Excel or other Bill Gates Junkware it should work. Whip me an e-mail and let's try it. Martin2--that for the offer to post it on your site much appreciated. Will send it this...

    Cyclometer mount on Busa

    Factory--I've used an Avocet model 35 bike computer on my other motorcycle (Honda Goldwing) for about four years. Works great and dead on target. Did have to fabricate a special sensor mount for the bottom of the fork. Not sure you can read to 200 mph, but all the other functions work great...

    Busa Maintenance Checklist and record keeper

    A few weeks ago I put together a spreadsheet to track my Busa maintenance and when it was performed. Went through the service manual and also pulled the specs for the key items like torque, disk thickness, suggested service intervals, fluid quantities, etc. and created a one stop sheet. If...

    LAUSAS CRUSHES .ORG

    Hey DP--not fair! LaBusa is a porno site with occasional discussion about motorcycles (which is not bad mind you, sex and motorcycles always go together). Subtract the porno, entertaining beating the crap out of some guy namede BigBusa, and a cop with BS stories he makes up for penthouse and...

    What would you buy for $1000 - $1500?

    Spend the bucks on tools and hydraulic lift to work on the bike. Makes life a whole lot easier and it will run better because you can easily see what you are working on.

    Big Brother will be watching-you might want to read this

    Yeikes! Man I'd loose my license the first week they tracked me. Speed limiters, new radar, lazers, what's the world comming to? Next they'll have a deal where you can own the high performance vehicle but a GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL is the only one that can drive it. Need to sweep for bugs every...

    my busa went over

    Bummer about the bike, look at it this way, maybe it saved a expensive ticket and rapping by your insurance agent. Maybe I need to rig up a trick kickstand that will dump the bike and get sympathy and out of a ticket. Wait a minute......I already have one of those trick kickstands that dumps...

    OEM \"J\" vs. Standard B\'stones Battlax

    In shopping around for a new rear tire I noticed Suzuki recommends the Bridgestone Battlax BT56 J. Does anyone know if the this specific "J" tire differs from the regular BT56? Hype or does the Busa have a custom B'stone tire?

    Extended Warranty???

    JC--Hate to say that I don't have the number of your shop. Let me know and you'll be getting a holler tomorrow.

    Extended Warranty???

    I call the dealer I bought the bike from yesterday, his response "yeah we can sell you the extended warranty its $599 for the three additional years" So I tried to reasonable negotiation with him and was pretty much told to pound sand "no dealer can sell for less than $599". It's time to shop...
