Need to vent here a little fellows...After the # of four letter words that came out of my mouth while changing the oil I'm going to church this Sun.
I was very fast and efficient at changing the old busa's oil, but this 08 model is totally{more difficult}different guys. TAKE YOUR TIME with those fasteners and hooks after you finally find them all. I felt like I was going to break something several times
. But I will say it went back together much easier after I finally figured out what in the hell{oops there I go again}was doing. The owners manual is absolutely useless so take your time fellows this is no 10 or 15 minute job.
Just changed my oil...........

Sorry to hear of your frustration! Hopefully, it will be better next time.
Warchild did a really nice write-up on how to remove the right-side fairing on an '08

The problem with the 14 is not the oil it's the fact you have to ride that thing!My oil change was a piece o cake as soon as I got the 14...Cheers
I bet you havent ridden a 08 yet. Totally different busa. smoother faster bettor brakes shifts smoother etc. Try bikeland if your so high on that kawasuki.
Oh yea? Well my dad can beat up your dad!

No, no, no, no..... don't think of it as a "pain in the ass".
Think of it as another opportunity to "Become One with your Motorcycle".
Truly, it's only an "adventure" the first one or two times you remove the fairing... afterward, it's pretty routine.
I completely understand why Suzuki buttoned the Busa up so tight...
They didn't want to take a chance on the fastest bike made coming apart in flight !!!

oil changes on the zx-14 are a cinch. when the frame cracks in two pieces, set the rear of the bike off to the side, change the oil and filter, then super glue the bike back together. not good as new.... the glue holding the frame together actually makes it better!

Because the first thing I saw in this pic was a man's sad face.... down-turned corners of the mouth all agape, with two large tear-drops pointing downward on each sides of the "eyes".....
Anyone else see this?
BTW... don't misinterpret this as a shot at your ZX, VinViper, because it is not. I happen to like the ZX-14, I just don't remember the four projector beams being arranged in this manner.... is this new?
