What Did You Do To Your Busa, Today?

[ottafish]

Today was check the voltage on the battery day before heading out for another ride later. I’ll be adding a voltmeter sometime in the future, feel free to share what you are using if satisfied with it.

I ended up going with a Bluetooth unit that I connect with via my phone. It records voltage over time. Has a function to check cranking voltage and other stuff.

you can space the road lock out to catch in a valley just get longer titanium bolts

Moving it in is the problem. The roadlock is designed to catch on the outer most holes of OEM rotor, but the “holes” on the galfers don’t go as far out to the outer edge to catch the pin. I don’t thing I can move the roadlock in without it hitting the rotor when not in use.

I have the rear rotor roadlok. The forks already lock. Not sure they make the rear version anymore but it sure works,

they never offered those for the gen2, but I liked those better

Yeah, with both ends locked it would have to be carried away. With just one end locked it can more easily be dragged away by just one or two guys. Can’t be moved by just one guy, even two. Even so, I carry comprehensive insurance, not just for the deer in the road but theft as well. Here, Comp covers me hitting a deer, not collision.

Yeah, locked front and rear would be best. I carry collision, comprehensive and extra 8k for accessory coverage, but hope I never to have to find out how good my insurance company is.

Tank has paint protection film to avoid scratches to the already expensive paint work. Next is to fit the carbon airbox and eagerly await the carbon bodywork which will also be wrapped in the LE scheme.

Today i received the accossato fuel cap.
I ordered it from webike-Japan. Very light is about 340 grams lighter than the factory one.
It's exactly the same with TWM Gas cap, I don't know what's going on there, own factory for sure.

How many gallons does the Yoshi tank hold?

How many gallons does the Yoshi tank hold?

	YOSHIMURA	STD
VOLUME	24L	21L
WEIGHT	4.15kg	6.6kg

Yoshimura product site : GSX1300R HAYABUSA（08-12） - ALUMINUM FUEL TANK

 

[ColdBusa]

Got 2 sets of these installed for both Pro Street engines. To think I was running stock timing before!

How many gallons does the Yoshi tank hold?

An extra 3 litres or .65 of a gallon for US terms. I'm also trialling carbon fibre bolts to see how they hold in a crucial spot.

10 carbon bolts weigh the same as 2 aluminium bolts.

what is the weakness of carbon bolts? Is it shear or tension (bending)? The CF panels are very "brittle" although I don't think they are likely to crack.

We're seeing if it'll show signs of fatigue in a critical location and how it reacts to pressure and vibration consistently when riding. They aren't cheap per bolt but if the test works out,i'll fit out every bolt to carbon and the Ti can go on the 2nd Bus.

Old thread, well like in 2012 she took me to lunch again 2008 back then, 2018 today

Hi. You are as crazy as I. OK where can CF bolts be gotten?

Hi. I looked them up. the are about as strong and light as Nylon [plastic] bolts that I use.

damn those tanks are pricey!...very nice.

I've tried plastic bolts but found they strip too easily and show signs of fatigue. These have been on for the last 3000kms and still look like the day I put them in. I sourced them from Germany.
