PS don't put any of that crap in your tires!

I am sorry but the site will not let me start a new topic. I did a search for "pair valve" and got NO hits. I am installing a new exhaust and want info on eliminating the pair. thanx.

doesn't some aftermarket mfgr. make metal push rivets? something that would stand up and look cool? my son in law has "d" ring style clips on his R-1,they look great.

It has been a long time since I adjusted valves on a dohc in line four. My 1978 KZ-1000 needed a special tool, as I recall, to compress the valve springs. The 'Busa should be similar. Removing the cam would not be the ticket in any case. The service manual is on line. How many miles on your bike?

a bit of brown suger will not hurt you- just let somebody else drink the beer!:blush:

I have received much valuable advice and lots of laughs from this site and by way of thanks would like to share a great easy summer recipe with those who like to grill. I especially like this method 'cause it requires drinking at least a half a can of beer. Start with a 3 to 5 # roaster. I...

Thanks for the support guys! I'm sure I will find a better situation. Now go check out my listing in classified. -Dave:)

I am thinking about selling my 2001 'Busa as I have lost my job and with it my company vehicle. I mentioned this on the SHO site and got a phone call from a nice fella named Chet who asked me if the camchain recall had been done. I had not heard of this and find nothing solid about it here...

When I was still looking for my 'Busa a salesman at the local dealer told me that half of new hayabusas get crashed within the first year.:p

Here is what happened. Kyle from TripleXtreme.net was one of the announcers of the show. The stunt group TripleX had a bike parked on it's tail during their segment. The segment was over, Kyle walked over to the bike, started it up, and began reving the engine to warm it up. He started reving...

My son-in-law is on active duty in the US Army and while his MOS (he fuels choppers) is not likely to put him into combat I appreciate the thoughts and prayers for all our soldiers.

uh, Mr. Busa, the heading is Random Thoughts- whatever is on your mind. This section has has a grand history of sports, religious and political topics. If you don't believe me ask Kerberos. I personally found the post inspiring, and you should pray every time you hit the starter on a Hayabusa.

Thanks Brian! I have to go be sociable now. C U later.

Twenty five years ago today I pulled off the best trick of my life. My princess has stuck with me through thick (my head) and thin (poverty). She is driving a '94 Altima w/ 157000mi and when I told her I was buying a 'Busa she said "that's good". A wonderful mother to our three kids, I'm looking...

Maybe I got a lemon, but the 16t sprocket created an unacceptable amount of vibration at highway speeds. Maybe I'm getting old. I just took a brief ride (it is 33º and the roads are icy in spots) and I pulled the front end up NO PROBLEM in first @ around 4500 RPM. I'm only 195#. Blas32, send me...
