So i bought the 08 that i have now, used. It wasn't treated well for it's first 3k miles, and i'm trying to make up for it. I guess i don't really know how it was treated, but when i got the bike from the dealer (it was shipped to me) the rear tire had been roasted off. Didn't realize thats why it was bald until i did my first detail and found melted rubber all over underneath.
That being said, i notice it just doesn't run as smooth as i would think a new bike should. I have 3 weeks of vacation coming up, and i'd like to do a thorough "going-through" to see if i can't smooth out the idle, improve on the power/ feel of it, and get it to tip top shape. Soooo...
What should i look for/ check out? This isn't my first busa, but my first was a first gen. so not sure of all the differences yet. IE, does it have dual fans up front? i know that was a popular mod to the first gen, but i haven't had time to even look. the bike only has 3700 miles on it... but i was thinking checking the filter, the plugs, change the oil over to synthetic, and check all the other levels... but this being my first indepth adventure into a motorcycle instead of a car, what else... it's stock outside of electrical and appearance mods.
i thought back when i had my 01 gixxer 1k, and wired a dealer switch in, i could adjust something... timing maybe? is that the same with the busa? i already looked into the ecu editor, and will once i go with exhaust, but the bike being stock right now i thought i read it wasn't worth doing.
Would love the help!
