One thing I used to do was drain the oil, then with the drain still open, I would pour a few quarts of cheap oil in and let it flush out any remaining particles. Alot of stuff used to come out in fresh oil. Tim

Busa251, Everyone will tell you something different, and people have very strong opinions about what they like, and why they like it. That being said, I like the K&N oil filter because it's built very well, and has a 17mm nut on the end, which makes it a piece of cake to put on and get off...

Just tweaking you!!! Ha Ha Ha.... Peace Busa brother

Why would I want to "finad" a good mech?

Hey, Mobil 1 15w-50 is a fine choice, but DON'T overfill your crankcase!! All kinds of bad stuff can happen such as the oil being whipped into a foam by the crank, and the oil could be getting pushed past seals, etc. Good luck, Tim

Thanks for the info, everyone. I look forward to installing them. Stay safe, Tim

Thanks for the info. I'm 6'4", and wouldn't mind taking some weight off of my wrists! Although, I must say, the Hayabusa is suprisingly comfortable for the type of bike it is. Does anyone know if the Heli Bars will interfere with my Zero Gravity Double Bubble? Any info would be greatly...

Hello everyone, I did the first oil change myself, and kept all the receipts for the oil and filter. After that, I went over every single nut and bolt on the bike to make sure nothing was loose, or had backed out. Is it really true that they won't honor my warranty???? I'm a little concerned...

I had the same problem too. Just grab the bar end, and loosen it with your hand, it's really that easy! I was shocked after wrestling with the phillips head for so long. Best of luck, Tim

Hi Kent, I did read those articles, and alot of what they said seems to make sense, but I've also read alot articles that say the exact opposite. Don't forget, the articles in the motorcycle magazines may be influenced by advertising dollars. Wouldn't it be weird to see an article in a...

Dulimon, If you're interested in my opinion, it's at the top of the post. I really like the K&N filter because it's built really well, and very easy to get on and off because of the 17mm nut on the cap. But, like Orange-Busa, you may have clearance problems if you have aftermarket headers! I've...

Orange busa, Sweet ride, man! I like the Hayabusa decals on the rims, that looks badass. Hey, read my post from today about barends. Any advice? Thanks, tim

Hi all, I finally got the stock barends off thanks to some of your advice(I just turned them with my hand, and off they came!), and I expected to see a hollow bar for me to insert my new barends. But, there's an aluminum plug with threads in the center. Does this come out? The design of my new...
