New Busa Owner

Just thought I would drop a line and say hi and introduce myself. Just got a Red/Black 05 Busa on Saturday and am totally loving it, what a beast! I've been riding for almost 20 years on just about every kind of bike, this is my first bike with this kind of power though.

I have of course attached a picture of my new toy as to meet the newbie requirement

I had some questions but I'm going to so some searches, the main one was about the 600 mile service, my buddy got his busa a week before me and he just had it done, cost him $200! That doesn't sound right to me to change the oil and tighten a few bolts. I've worked on bikes for a long time and that's just sounds crazy!

Very nice and welcome! Had mine done and it cost a little over $100. I have heard of some stealerships charging up to about $200 to do it though. Any ideas what your first mod will be? I've got an idea for you!

Right now mods are on hold at least performance ones anyway. Still getting used to riding it. I do want to get rid of all the stupid warning stickers first then maybe some new Exhaust. I've heard of Carbon Fiber inserts where the plastic is right now, i'm thinkin that would look sharp! Going to start calling around to the dealerships for the first service, it's got about 400 miles on it right now.
 
Welcome to the board. I have the exact same bike as you! Congrats.

Now, 2 bills sounds very expensive to me. Over here is a liitle over $100.

BTW I love clearwater. Thinking about moving to Tarpon Springs when I retire in 2 years!
 
Welcome to the board. $200 does seem high (got mine done for $85 if I remember correctly) I guess locale could come into play though depending on where you are and going rates in the area.
 
Nice ride

... Welcome to the board.

I think $200 is way to high for the first service, considering that the only replacing that you are actually doing is just oil and the oil filter! I think you better look for a different dealership to service your bike IMO
 
Welcome to the board. You're on the right track with removing the warning stickers, just don't forget to also remove those reflectors.
