I bought an aftermarket fuel tank lid and as per my luck the holes don't line up when I went to bolt it in. The old cap is useless. I have a ride I need to go on tomorrow so I was thinking about drilling new holes around the neck since it doesnt appear to go into the actual tank. Does anyone...

Live and learn I guess. The chain was not replaced with the sprocket as it should have been. After initial inspection it looked as though I could get a few more miles out of it as the chain is not really that old. looks like i will be reordering both now. Thanks for the insight!

I purchased a new JT rear sprocket about 4 months ago and already the teeth are trashed. I do a fair amount of hard accelerating but not in the sense of constantly popping wheelies or drag racing (yet). I mean i bought it for the track just haven't made it there yet. I did some research and...

So after a relatively embarrassing first ever attempt at drag racing a stock hayabusa, I am working on how to improve my times. I have searched and found great tips regarding lowering straps, launch techniques, etc. What I would like to know is how much difference rider weight makes. I weigh...

Thanks to everyone for all the useful information on this site. Your tips and DIY information has saved me a bundle. Here is a quick clip from the GoPro through the N. Georgia mountains, on my way to Deals Gap. It doesn't look like much but it was a lot of fun.

When you shave your head to avoid helmet hair at work.

That is awesome. I too would love to hear how it sounds.

Thanks
