First '08 Hayabusa future problem

[BangkokBusa]

Let's see who can predict what this bike's first manufacturing flaw is that requires some correction or replacement of component(s) on a mass scale. (Note: The stubby, vestigial tail is exempt from this survey).

Good luck.

The ugly tailend falls off  

(sorry didnt see the exclusion )

hmmm most of the changes were cosmetic...and the engine isn't that much different....I'd say something in the valvetrain, but that's just a guess, and the most changed area.

how bout the trans shaft twisting , with no upgrades in the oem parts , and the added hp/tourque ,of course this wont be a suzuki problem , this will be rider error ! but what would it cost suzuki to undercut all 08 trans from the factory ? 10 dollars each , probably more like 10 cents a piece . I would have to bet that somthing is goin to give.

that is if that figure of 110 ft lbs is correct ?

Who wants to bet the hp & tq figures are intentionally low to placate the insurance and EPA nazi's??

Cause let's face it, it's what- 15 hp more than the 1000, with 340 more cc's?!?

The only problem there will be will be the same as any other model and that is the constant perma-grin up under the helmet.

[BlueHaya]

There will be no issues.....its a Busa

bald tires.

The tail will get stuck in the "out" doot at the dealership.

[proud dad]

It will be eating rear tires worse than it does now.

It will have a problem for all those zx14 riders which will make them have to mod out their rides on a large scale to keep up.

Hey! That IS a good point... what gives here?

[Postal]

ZX-14 riders poop their pants when the 08 roars by them.

Busa is recalled for sanitary reasons...

I predict the mode selector  

 . After the first law suit saying; "I sware I had it in mode C when it went BLAMO and shot off like a rocket. It must have been in A for Accelerate at Warp Speed instead of C for Cruise"  

Just something else to fix or go wrong. Like I need one to ride the bike  

[GMbusa]

I'd say it will be a starter/battery issue with the higher cranking compression.

[mymaster]

I predict someone will start a thread about dissecting and possible starting rumors about flaws of a new motorcycle 4 to 5 months before it's released to the public.

the 185 hp figure for the 1000 is without ram air!

[Busa444]

I agree with GMBusa with possible starter issues and in addition with the stator down low in front of the rear tire may be easily damaged.

[landmissle]

The biggest defect will be as a cop magnet! You'll get more tickets!

[1 BAD 2K]

I perdict that it will be a battery drain for that HUGE tail light & turn signals or having to change your rear tire every 3000 mile from excessive wear! my .02ct
