New Owner Have a problem already

Test Battery --> Test Rectifier -->Test Stator In that order.

MAKE SURE your cables going to your starter are not damaged. It could be shorting to ground and draining your battery when you try to start the bike. Ask me how I know

Also I would unplug and plug in your rectifier connector because sometimes they can not make proper connection and need cleaned. Check the rectifier and wires coming from the stator for any cuts or damages. They wires may be shorting to the chassis. Make sure the leads are clean and maybe add some conductive gel or whatever that stuff is called (Cant think of it ) to the plug.

eVERYONE KEEPS TELLING ME THE STATOR that why i am asking it would be like the alternator for the bike

The stator is a component of the alternator. Personally, I reckon you just have a dead battery.

 

[Zrultima]

Hey guys I replace the battery god damn $200 bucks for a battery I bought a shorai love the size and how long its suppose to last well hopefully everything goes well with the bike turn it on today and ran great. I do have a noob question very noob question how the hell do I take that rear seat cover off I want to take my girl for a ride and I cant get that damn thing off

There's a key hole on the lower left side of the tail section. Put the key in, turn it, and lift the hump or seat off.

Glad you got fixed up. Why is it when something happens to our babies we jump to the worst case scenario? I am glad people on this site can keep us grounded while we start to freak out.

As far as your ninja question I have no idea. This is a site with bike lovers of all kinds and it has a great knowledge base beyond the Hayabusa. Someone may have been in your situation. Enjoy the ride.

An addition to your seat question. Look at both sides of the storage compartment under the seat/hump you will see a hook on either side, those are your helmet locks.

ChattanoogaBusa I already tried the key thing trust me coming from a ninja thats the first thing to do but unfortunately not that easy that chit wont come off for the life of me majestic12 i will try those hook things your talking about. Never had a seat cowl on a bike i always try to take rides with the ladies so it sucks

Yes, it's slammed. Is it strapped ?

 

[fiend]

Yes, it's slammed. Is it strapped ?

There's no strap in that picture if that is his bike.

 

[Zrultima]

Explain the terminology to me and if the bike is slammed how can i get back to stock

 

[GIXERHP]

Your bike is lowered as well as stretched!

... check your voltage with bike off (good battery is 12.4ish) and then start the bike and check the voltage... the voltage should be somewhere around 14v... lightly bring up the revs and you should see the voltage come up a little bit...

+1

i had the same issue when i first bought mine. checked voltage as described by card, all good. put a new battery... all good.

 

[Zrultima]

Is there a way to change it back to stock or you know what can i soften the ride its as hard as a rock

 

[Zrultima]

any ideas guys mine is a triple tree but rides like a tank any suggestion I SOFTEN THE PRELOAD IN THE FRONT to 0 and still rides a bit rough
