Rather than post several posts that may only need one response, I saved a few up.
The first issue is tires..not what you think. The FZ1 that I have to sell has near new Pilot Road 2's on them. Same size as the Busa. I spent all of my wad on purchasing the bike, let alone tax and plates( 7% plus plates fees in Nebraska).
I don't have front and rear wheel stands to suspend the busa.
I do have jack stands, floor jack, bottle jack. I have a steel beam across the garage ceiling ( 11' up) that I had some thoughts about. How do I suspend the Busa for the tire swap? This is something I need to do this week.
----------------------------------------------------------------
While we're on the subject who can recommend a couple
of wheel stand models ( I don't need the best, but they can't be cheesy) , spools and frame sliders.
These are all over Ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/FRONT-REAR-SPOOL-MOTORCYCLE-WHEEL-LIFT-PADDOCK-STANDS-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem5ad994cd1eQQitemZ390197464350QQptZMotorcyclesQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories and I know Harbor Freight has theirs.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Can I get a spare key from somewhere other than the dealer? My Yamaha key cost $4.00 at Ace Hardware.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Can someone post some Pics of Heli-bars and or risers,
and touring windscreens. There isn't anything to hide behind in the rain.
----------------------------------------------------------------
How many miles are do you get out of brake shoes? With
3200 miles I need to know what to replace besides all of the fluids. I think the previous owner changed the oil twice.
----------------------------------------------------------------
What brand, model (size?) oil filters match.
We'll stop here for now.
