06LE for my vote...

great job!

dude... your bike is super clean. The rearsets are very sharp looking. Do you ride much? (j/k)

OK - piece of cake. Got 'er all put back together with the new rubber and brakes... rides like a dream. I was very meticulous about getting the adjustments exact on both sides. Cleaned and oiled the sproket and chain. Wow - the busa is ridin' sweet. Thanks for the help. It was easy and the...

eats tires and brakes... but I love this bike...

Way to go Shawn.

Can you clarify what you mean by the blipping the throttle on and off again? Did you pull the clutch in without letting the throttle reduce and pop it out again or did you just twist off and on again with the throttle and no clutch. If you were in 1st or 2nd, I could imagine some wheel raising...

I say - wear the cops out. Do 63mph forever and never speed. Make them get tired of chasing you. Put on a governor like mentioned above and just enjoy being out in the air everyday. There's more to riding than speed - right?

I'd like to chime in on this... I went from the stock battleAxe to the Michelin Pilot Power. The difference was extremely noticable to me. Because the Pilot Power has such a tall peak, (the very top arch of the tire) it makes the bike roll into the turns much easier in the twisties. That is an...

321CYA - that's my kinda tire change... I mean - why not - right? fofl Thanks guys. I'll get the manual opened up.

You guys are awesome. Thanks for the advice. One more thing though: has anyone ever taken the rear tire off before? I was looking at what would have to be done. It doesn't look like anything major. I'm used to working on my own cars. Haven't done a lot with bikes though. So this is a newer...

Most of the 6 months - winter time sitting in the garage... it's a new tire basically. Ggrrr.... What a waste of a good tire. As Herman Munster once said - Darn Darn Darn Darn Darn! <!--EDIT|switchback Reason for Edit: None given...|1149100927 -->

Hi everyone. Switchback here. Can you lend a hand? I found a piece of glass stuck in my tread. Needless to say, the back tire is flat. I have it up on a rear stand and have no clue what the easiest way to go about this is. Are there any flat fixing goo's in a can that will fix this? It's a...

Something else to think about sitting on the ZX14 in the dealership - no liquids and typically there is no battery either. Would that account for the lighter weight/feel? I still like my busa better.

GixxerHP - what paint did you use on your LE. She is looking sweet!
