Well kids, those of you that have been along for the last 80+ pages of Hayabusa travels, I'm impressed. Thanks all who read this 2024 ride thread and all your views sharing my adventures over nearly 1700 posts & 1000s of photos & thousands of miles on this bike.
This bike has ran flawlessly all year long - except for finally figuring out the dual Hot Start Issue the Gen3 has. (yes, there's two). Replacing the
Torque Limiter Assembly solved the main issue, (
See Post #2 in this thread) however, the Hot Start Issue remains, for that, I've simply gotten into the habit of cracking the throttle an 1/8th turn when the bike is warm per the manual.
When warm, if I forget to crack the throttle, the bike quickly reminds me as it won't start & sounds like a herd of cats having their claws pulled out all at once while cranking over. Crack the throttle a wee bit when hot & it starts up 100% of the time soon as it turns over. Worth mentioning non of my other three Hayabusa(s) I've owned had this issue. Fine, I'll live with it. And no, it's not the battery.

Stop saying it's the battery.
Mileage starting the 2024 ride season: 14574
Mileage ending the 2024 ride season: 31594
Which works out to riding 17,020 miles in the last few months. What fun adventures on this bike.
Time for winter mods: a new RK chain, new brake pads front & rear, new air filter & a SuperSprox set of sprockets & a new set of tires.
