Looks like it only applies to 2008 and 2009 models. Suzuki Cycles - Recalls

It's interesting to see all these people arguing for a faster justice system. I mean, the system isn't intentionally slow - the Constitution guarantees a speedy trial, after all. But, there are a lot of accused who need trying, and it's in the best interest of society that the greatest number of...

Just a quick update: the dealer didn't find anything wrong yet except for the gauge/sidestand switch at first glance, but I didn't have 3 days to leave it there for them to pull it apart further at the time. It's going back in for that deeper dive next week so hopefully the electrical gets...

Drilled mine out too. Took a bit of work to get through the drilling, but once you're through you can pull the baffles out with needle nose pliers easily enough.

Sorry man, I wish it were that simple, but the bike was upright and running when this happened: first gear, clutch in, backing up into my parking space.

That's definitely not normal. It didn't do it before yesterday, why would it suddenly start doing it if it were intended behavior? I can't imagine what kind of design would cause it to be normal for the temp gauge to sit at max until the kickstand is raised. Also, it now won't start with the...

I can't say for sure about the heat because I was in full rain gear so already pretty hot and damp. I sure hope it's just a gauge fault. You think the smoke is just from the wiring frying?

OK, update: Oil levels are normal and still no leaks that I can discern. The oil looks honey-colored. However, I can't see any coolant in the resevoir. I took a picture in case I'm just blind: https://www.dropbox.com/sc/kv79lusjpymsvjv/PtLKYUPnSF I turned the key on and everything spun...

The service was performed by a local motorcycle shop, not the dealership. I didn't check the oil level, but I haven't noticed any leaks on my garage floor and I've ridden over 200 miles since the service before having the issue. I'm going to check the oil level in a minute and report back.

Hi guys, So today I was riding the busa to work, which is about 20 miles of mostly highway riding. It's a 2012, new, with ~900 miles. It just had its first service three weeks ago, and is stock except for the promotional Yoshi slip-ons. So, when I pulled into the parking garage today and was...

What kind of mileage do you expect from the front versus the rear in that setup? Do you feel there's a big performance difference over just using PR3 front and rear?

I looked at the ZX-14 when I bought my Hayabusa. Maybe it was the green scheme, but I thought it was UGLY! The blue ones aren't so bad, but something about the rear section of it just doesn't do it for me. Suzuki needs to hurry up and update the Hayabusa, because it's looking a bit dated by...

Tough to say. My first two tanks have both returned about 46 mpg with a fair amount of, shall we say...spirited riding. :whistle: I don't think you're realistically going to do much better than 50 unless you change gearing or ride C mode and cruise at 55.

siege has entered a new Hayabusa in the garage. Go check out their 2012 Suzuki Hayabusa Black!
