Welcome to the org don't know enough about AZ to know where your at but I know we have a few members in your state. We really like pics around here so feel free to show your busa off, as far as needing questions answered this is the place for all things busa and we try to help all we can so ask away.
Yes of course, I’m Jared and I’ve been out of the bike world for about 15 years but grew up in So Cal racing BMX (real bmx dirt tracks), riding motocross and had my first road bike when I was 15 and rode til I was in my 30’s and the kids started happening lol... I’ve recently acquired an 06 busa from my nephew that’s been sitting for the past year, I’ve put in a new stator, rectifier & starter relay and have a chain (gold) that I’ll be putting in this weekend. I’ll be ordering a new set of fairings after taxes. I’ll post some pics after I put it all back together (currently changing the spark plugs).
Hi Jared.....
Hi Jared and 
I've been using the combo of a camera, YouTube and this forum for a couple years now to learn/share. Shoot a picture of it, record a video, post the photo and/or youtube link here. If I don't know what something is, I'll post a pic and ask what's this? Members always respond, even when the answer is obvious to them but not to me. And even if the question's been answered here already. At the very least, you'll get a link pointing you in the right direction.
There are also several repair/maintenance procedures extensively documented on this site. Use the Search function to fine-tune your question. Many, many of these members have torn down every part of their bikes and are more than willing to share their experiences. Feel free to send private msgs (PM) to members.
[EDIT] My other point is it will always be less expensive to go through this method than dropping the bike off with a mechanic who may or may not have ever put their hands on a Hayabusa. Maybe not as fast, but much more reliable, always in context.

I’m from AZ and my Dad still lives at 35th Ave & Bell. We are expecting our 22’ Busa in about a week. I am definitely planning to do some extended rides to AZ. We will have to look you up when there. Aj
