Gen 3 Latest report ..
- Thread starter bigdr
- Start date
Really tried but could only endure 10 mins....the one guy is from Suzuki....what more can he do other than talk up the bike....probably mostly scripted.
A true test will be when the bike gets in the hands of the tuners and real time testers who will flog it properly and then give us some real time true results.

I used the Moto Man method on my 08 busa. I don't know if it's any faster because of it but I have more confidence that it might be than if I had broke it in by the book. Moto Man claims it's better for long term performance too. Only time will tell. Even if I felt the long term performance was reduced by the race break in, I'd still do it again on a new bike. I will take faster for 10,000 miles over slower the whole long life of an engine. 10,000 miles is ten years of riding for me anyway. I'm at 16,000 miles now and as far as I know, the engine hasn't lost any power.
Maybe just a little. All black would be better but I like the gold pipe too.
No way.
I'll wait for you guys to report the highlights.
A 10 minute video on unpacking a motorcycle....yay!
You forgot chain cleaning and sprocket size threads as well....

The pipe appears to be turning rainbow. Perhaps much of the original color will dissipate. What brand and model of exhaust is this?
Dai.

K2TEC. Some of the best Jap exhaust ever made. A tad expensive but well worth every penny.
I'd hate having that little tiny screen and trying to set up stuff on the fly as I'd need my reading glasses to even see it...
My riding buddy bought a Soft tail Deluxe and the information screen/speedo, etc, is just plain silly....it's smaller than a credit card...
Who the heck do they think are riding these bikes, young guys with perfect vision?? No, it's generally us old guys who need reading glasses...I can make out the gear indicator on my gen 2 and that's about it unless I really concentrate and squint a little...
Those information screens need to be the size of a tablet for use to see them.
Did it show 188 hp?
If so it's either a very generous dyno or Suzuki was deliberately giving low power figures...unless the figures they gave out were RWHP...and if that's so, the people reporting on the bike were unaware as they were all saying on paper it's down on power...
The dyno number in this video is a well modified gen 2 rwhp number..
Then it's a generous dyno as a bone stock gen 2 is around 172 or so normally...
Interesting as Suzuki itself said the gen 3 was 188 BHP stock whereas the gen 2 is 198 BHP stock...something is not adding up.
