New things I'm learning about new busa

Battlax hyper sport tires are designed especially for the new busa
I run the Bridgestone s21s then came s22 and i ran them when they first came out i was surprised to see they were designed for hayabusa they are a good sport tyre for anything 600cc and over, the s21/s22 is my favorite front tyre period. its a super stable tyre under braking and going into corners
 
Yes but at 186mph not to sure about it with one little strip of it and after awhile if I want to take it off may ruin the paint... even after removing all the stickers on my new bike the paint underneath already looks wavy..smh... I used to like stickers as a kid but in florida after awhile if you leave them on and go to take off paint will be a different color and I always hated that.

My last tires were the S21Rs and they were great but lasted 1 season...I went to Michelins and so far so good...they heat up fast and stick really well...

I was going to order a prop stand when I realized it's the same one as my 2001 GSX-R1000:

FYI.

I noticed the gen3 is much more nimble. I was used to riding a gen2 and when I fed the usual input into the gen3, it moved much sooner than the gen2. So, I have to learn to feed much less input. This will make it much better in the twisties. I wonder if it is the new style wheels? I know from feedback that carbon wheels change the bike, any bike into a new feeling bike, and is so different. I think is due to unsprung weight? I love the whirr when about 5-7k rpm, sounds like a turbo or supercharger spooling up, sounds so cool, love it!

If I recall, I remember reading about Suzuki changing the steering geometry slightly...that might account for the quicker steering.
 
I read this review which says the gen 3 is markedly better handling than the previous generations..due to improved suspension...

"The unchanged twin-spar frame combines with updated fully adjustable KYB suspension, which helps improve the handling tremendously over the previous generations."

So you don't get the solo hump or a tank prop rod?? Talk about cheaping out, Suzuki. :crazy:
They quit including the prop rod with the gen 2 :redface: ,I was lucky enough to have one in the garage that I don't carry with me because I use it when working on bikes that aren't mine since I have my ram mount in the stem and can't use it.

My Gen2 had a prop rod, always assumed that it came with the bike new since every other Suzuki I have owned with a flip-up tank had one... I guess Rubb or another previous owner must have added it to the bike. Who knew? :rolleyes:
