What Did You Do To Your Busa, Today?

[Bumblebee]

Question does anyone know when new form members come off of there rookie status???
I've owned a total of 5 motorcycles and 2 of them Hayabusa I maybe a rookie on the site but no rookie motorcycle rider, not the best rider out there but not the worst either I see guys here in Florida riding motorcycles with sandles on and no helmets might as well be barefoot ride a motorcycle lol

More posting will update your status however, nobody judges you here by that status...we were all "rookies" when we joined this site and many of us have a long resume of motorcycling as well...

As for the "squids" and their gear....often times style and stupidity out-weigh safety.

Most of us got rid of our rookie status by racing. Isle of Man is one the Europe guys do a lot. Over here in the states we do a club race at circuit of the Americas. You have to come in first or second in your class to prove you're not a rookie.

Ha ha ha!

Thanks C10

Just cause it's driving me nuts that no one else has corrected you but it's a small "c" in @c10 . In regards to the rookie status your almost there, once you hit 500 messages you'll upgrade. I just hit thre 500 mark recently and feel my upgraded powers already

Ok thanks good to know, QUESTION I bought some Led front signal lights I noticed in the picture looks like it has 3 wires red black and green trying to figure out which wire is which and where to connect them I'm use to 2 wires any help would be greatly appreciated

 

[c10]

Most often a third wire is for a running light option , and since it is LED the color would be different .
You cane test these by simply touching the wires to 12 volts .
Black is most likely to be ground , green to be turn , and Red to be running light

In the 30's here now for the foreseeable future, so that means make a list of wants and wear the wife down little by little. Brake lines, little stuff here and there.
I do plan a suspension upgrade this spring. Gotta lose some weight but then I will respring and revalve front and rear for my weight and get it dialed in by my local pro. He did my fork seals and he is setup for it all. Knows his stuff
I am at 185 hp at the wheel with basic bolt-ons and I feel the need for more speed (idk why, it's already stupid fast). Debating some head work and or cams. Idk. 200hp just seems like fun.

Plexus, Simple Green, WD40, B2B, some towels and a few Q tips. Guess what I did.

 

[c10]

I'm doing something lol.

Oh it's not being removed

Let me guess......... some titanium scrap laying around that you can make fan brackets out off?

I was thinking some revised brackets and hardware and trimming

 

[WuzzaCBXRider]

It does look like an over built fan cage and bracket which probably helps the vibes but a real weight saving item would be a lighter fan motor.

I've come up with a BRILLIANT idea to save weight . . .
Remove the oil !!!
That's 4kg gone right there . .

 

[Kiwi Rider]

I've been busy playing with a GSX250F Bandit engine too . .
new rings and a hone, new head gasket and base gasket, valve clearances checked and shimmed.

I've been experimenting with Titanium oil. I put some ti fasteners in my juicer to make the ti oil. Very light and works great.

I saw some oil at the grocery store and it said it was light....I think it was made by Crisco

Wouldn’t that be counterproductive, Greg? I mean, after a couple of miles running dry, your busa would be nothing but dead weight.

My good friend produces these for the zrx platform. The gscr fans are the lightest, and best in the industry.
The guards are simply to keep your fingers out of the fan . I have around 40 k using one of his fan set ups on my zrx
