Vibrations gen 3
- Thread starter Filisimo
- Start date
Yep.
4200 rpm is the start of vibrations on the Hayabusa engine, Gen 3 is no different.
Mine is a 1999 Gen 1, first thing I noticed when I first got the bike and rode it was the vibes setting in at 4200rpm.
Every Busa I’ve ridden and every other Busa owner says the same thing.
So no, you’re not special lol

Yep, this
It's more noticeable with aftermarket rearsets too, without the dampening of the rubber on the pegs.
The vibrations are usually at highway cruising speeds/rpms too.
THANKS. No other symptoms for now.
When I hold it at 4200, the vibrations almost seem to disappear after a while.
Suzuki likes their buzzy, vibrations....almost each and every Suzuki I have ever owned was a vibrating beast.....this Hayabusa of mine will put your hands to sleep if you are just tooling around.
I imagine the Gen 3 will be no different.
THANKS ! Glad to hear my bike didn't come with this option.
Not a gen3 problem, a busa in general, problem. Changing gearing for a more relax ride at highways speeds help. I ran 1 tooth up from factory on the front and 1 down on the rear and it helped on long rides.
I ran a 46t until @c10 showed me the light and I love it. Yeah, you lose some of that take off grunt but is worth it. I’ll probably do the same on my gen3.
I like my wheelie gearing, lol
Busas wheelie fine on stock gearing, but +3 puts it in a better spot, all my bikes get that, or a -1 front.
But I am going to get a Henry's final drive for my Goldwing, which is a taller geared differential(driveshaft bike).
I think people that can wheelie are at another level but, I’m not willing to risk crashing just to learn. I go and practice on the dr650 once in a blue moon and, even though it feels like the front tire is up at 12 o’clock, I bet is only like 6in off the ground.
Sad to hear that mate, I guess wheelies are now off the agenda . . .
Ok, so what gearing did Bryan suggest?
. . . I'm assuming you went with that . .
1 tooth up on the front and 1 down on the rear.
lol, I have the Gsxr1k's for wheelies.
I have already wheelied the Goldwing a foot or so when I got it, and taller gearing wouldn't prevent them.
But, given the money I just spent on full Traxxion suspension, and the GW weighing almost half a ton, I won't be wheelieing it anymore...I just had to make sure it would...anything with 2 wheels will ride on one.
That's basically a -2 rear sprocket on a 50 series tire, or -4 with a 55
I got so I could "stoppie" my mountain bike. Pretty fun. Low risk, if I failed.
Wheelies on a dirt bike are a given. Never tried either on Ultimate Babe Machine...
That's me (#17) braking for the corner before the triple in Seattle. (I don't recall any vibations at 4,200...)
