Hello all, just thought I would introduce myself. Im Dave and I JUST bought a sweet 06 busa and currently waiting on shipment!
I have been riding Harley's since I was 16 (before my car license, 23 now) and even worked at a Harley dealership (If anyone has a Harley parts and accessories question, I'm ur guy). I was inches from buying a VROD but there is a long story associated with that one and why I dont have it, lol.
Anyways, I figured I would try out the sport bike scene (is crotch rocket a bad term here?) with a little persuading from the gf. I started looking at 600's as per the suggestion of many of my friends (I am sport bike retarded) but I also kept hearing the "you'll get tired of a 600 quick" speech. One morning on base (I'm active duty Army, almost into EOD school) a major questioned me about my car (05 Lotus Elise) as he got off his busa. So I asked him about his bike and he convinced me into buying a busa in 2 mins. He said he has a large amount of respect for it, unlike his old 600, and thus is more careful on it. Made sense to me and here I am, lol.
If anyone is still reading right nowI have a few FNG questions. The bike I bought has a full yosh carbon fiber exhaust system (one with the single muffler, dual tip) and a power commander. First off, does it need the power commander, and secondly, how do I tell if its mapped correctly (by correctly I mean dyno tuned)? Thanks in advance for the help
