I bought a used 2001 Hayabusa that just hit 19.000 miles. The bike has a full Yoshi RS3 exhaust (wish it was a little louder) with a power commander, handle bar risers, air box mod, braided lines, custom seats, custom LED turn signals, hot bodies under tail lights, new battery, newish rear tire, and I think that is about it. Happy to join the forum and learn new things about this bike. Only thing I want to do really at this point is buy a tank bag, frame sliders, and thinking of replacing the sprocket and chain if now is a good time to do so...the guy said the chain will last through this season. Maybe go ahead and have fuel pump and CCT replaced as well with this many miles?
The bike looks very clean and rides true as far as I know. It feels a little wiggly in the turns. Also, the person I bought the bike from said the chain needs to be replaced in the not so distant future, or to tighten the chain up a link. Another thing I notice is a little slack on throttle response. There is a point where it seems to be slightly slack in response then hits the go fast part where it just wants to kill you...Is this normal? I have read that the throttle response isn't that great on some. I will also, as much as I can, put non ethanol fuel.
I would love for other members to give any constructive criticism of what should be done or not done or what is good on the bike in general...First Busa! Damn do I have respect for this bike...Thanks all!
