I also have a 2014. Mine does that too. It seemed to get a little more noticeable after I switched to synthetic oil. I think it's normal. I'm at ~3500 miles.

Just in case this hasn't already been posted around:)

Well, that's interesting :suspect:

Thanks for replying. I may find out what the screw does tomorrow. I'm going to the track. I've turned it countless times clockwise and didn't undo it. Before i figured out that the damper had come loose, I thought the track had become incredibly rough. Then when the cylinder came loose and it...

By the way, I would have posted this to a gsxr board if i were on one. This is the only board I'm on:) Plus, according to my research, the Busa and gsxr's use the same dampners.

I don't know. I've searched the internet, and found it all over the place for sale, but no one mentions a brand name. It was on my used gsxr600 track bike when i bought it. The bolt holding it to the frame fell out, and i replaced it. Then the two bolts holding the cylinder in place got loose...

Does anyone know what this screw on a steering damper does? It just turns and turns. There is a "F" and an arrow pointing to it on mine. Which of course meant I should Fiddle with it.

Track days! That counts as a second hobby right? :)

:lol:

Congrats on a successful second outing! Great vid! I've had a camera on one track day so far, and the video is turning out to be an excellent learning tool.

BTW, I did seem to reduce it a little by adjusting the clutch cable to allow a little slack. I saw where your busa was dropped recently. You might want to check that the clutch cable didn't get changed with that. (Like keeping it from fully seating.)

I think I know what you're describing, but not the cause or fix. I get the same thing on a GSXR600 I bought recently. My busa doesn't do it. At first, I thought the tire was spinning. It seems to happen after it's been ridden a while, and only when I'm really pushing it. I now think it's the...

Helibars seem to be the most popular option. $150 seems too steep for a couple of machined bars but I guess they don't sell enough to reduce the price. I'll be waiting for a sale or something before I make the leap. For me, riding more and trying to keep my weight off the bars and loosening my...

The only busa I've owned has ABS, so I'm perhaps a little biased. BUT, I've triggered mine countless times and it has probably saved my ass. Eventually it becomes confidence inspiring. I'm not as weary of braking hard when I need to. I'm sure I triggered it at least 3 times today, and that was...
