On the 3rd oil change(2700 miles) I switched over to Mobil 1 with no problems observed. Gear changes seem to be slightly smoother than the Honda oil I used to aid breakin miles. My buddy slightly overfilled his bike & that caused it to smoke slightly.

I tried the low rpm launch at 3k - bogged 1st badly. I'm leaving at around 4k rpm dragging out the clutch to prevent the bog. It appears that the average is high 130's.

ZXALAN: Thanks - I'll check the lines this weekend in addition to the screens. I also noticed the stock cans are quuite black as if the bike is running rich. I don't know if this is normal or not. Thanks for the tips guys.

Thanks Dangermouse - I tried 4th also with the same speed. I even shifted to 4th early(10k) with the same result.

Stock 00 Busa with 3k miles - no mods Just got back from the track - could only muster a 10.615 ET @ 129.96. Another pass 10.707@129.99. Another pass 10.933@ 131.31. Here's an example: .514 REACTION: 1.860 60FT: 4.785 330FT: 7.144 1/8ET: 102.74 1/8MPH: 10.916 1/4: 130.82...

Anyone blow any fork seals as a result of wheelies? I know of 2 Busa owners blowing out 2nd gear from wheelies.

I was there Friday, what happened Thursday? Did they try to box everyone in? Friday at about 3am someone got hit by a car when the police came and cleared it out.

Went to a local dealer yesterday - shop manager took the bolt off of a wrecked Busa and put it on(no charge) - stated it wasn't even worth all the paper work. Manager also felt I had adjusted my chain too tight - out comes the tool but I couldn't get the right side to line up. On the right side...

NUMB NUTS: The main bolt that's screwed onto the handlebars(bottom). Everyone looked at it and shook there head - no thread marks or indentions in the paint. To be honest a fellow rider was looking at the instrument panel and discovered it. I honestly felt like an idiot for not catching it myself.

Oh well, I was hoping someone had an actual list of what was suppose to be done. JohnnyCheese: Your price sounds the most reasonable IMOP. Why a dealer would charge $238 is beyond me. On a side note I picked my bike up in another state(300 miles) to get it off the trailer and discover the main...

Out of 3 dealers in my area only 1 could give a hint regarding what's actually done for $180 - $200. Srvc manager claimed: 1. Chain adjustment 2. Oil & filter change 3. TPS & Throttle body synch - claimed it will eliminate the surging I have btw 1-2k rpm. 4. Check all bolts & fastners. 5...

I'll be there!!!

GSXRBOY - Thanks for all of the valuable patience & advice. I believe I'll get it correct with more practice. If I can make any progress each visit than I know I'll reach some descent times in time. The lesson for today: street riding doesn't mean crap @ the track!! RUFF RYDER - I'LL make sure...

RUFF RYDER - That was me on the red/gray. I think you'll be easy 10's if you can keep that wheel down. On your run before me your bike wheelied 2 times - way to ride it out. I'm going to Milan WED. if the weather holds up. Thursday I went to PURE SPEED - bike peeked @ 153bhp on a DynoJet 150...

BUSA1300: Milan opens @ 4pm on WED & Friday. $20 to race - $8 for spectator. Of course you must have a leather jacket and boots over the ankle. If you were jeans they will $itch if you exceed 120mph. They ask you to install a teather(kill) for future runs. ZXALAN: Thanks for the advice - I'm...
