Problems With Lowering The Busa

[drewwerd13]

I lowered my '03 Hayabusa about 4 months ago.

I'm wondering (for those of you out there with lowered Hayabusa's) have you seen any problems arise with a lowered Hayabusa that you wouldn't see with a stock Hayabusa.  Obviously, it'll scrape over speed bumps and bottom out when coming down hard from wheelies.  I'm talking about maintenance problems.  Are there any nuts, bolts, fasteners, etc. that I should keep my eyes on.  Since I stiffened the suspension to keep it from bottoming out as much, is there anything that I should keep my eyes on.  I'm just looking for maintenance tips for a lowered Hayabusa.  Let me know if there's anything I should watch out for.  Thanks!

Looks good. How much did you drop 'er?

Not much to watch for, just make sure you torqued the bolt to the proper specs.

I had 'er lowered 1.5" in the front and 2" in the rear. But I just raised her back up last night. I had to when my friends said they saw sparks when I came down from a wheelie the other night. And I didn't even feel it. Apparently the header pipes were hitting the ground an aweful lot and I didn't even know it. So we're back to normal now. It kinda feels good to be back up to stock height. She handles the corners WAAAY better.

if you wouldn't be doing wheelies you wouldn't have a problem with these so called sparks.
