What Did You Do To Your Busa, Today?

Added tech spec and it’s not as bad aesthetically as I thought.

I really wanted to go with the tech spec snake skin because it's supposed to be less aggressive but I couldn't do the black and cover up the graphic on the tank so I ended up ordering r&g clear ones so at least it could be seen by they sure have taken a toll on my riding jeans and leathers. I almost bought the last set of oem tank pads I could find but just couldn't get away with spending that much money.

I let the grips sit on my work bench for a few days before I installed them. I didn't want it covering the graphic either but figured they'd be helpful while riding. How have the r&g ones held up? I know with the clear grips, you can start seeing air bubbles after a while.

I haven't had any issues with air bubbles and they have held up real good. They definitely help when riding, I'm so used to them I don't really notice until I get on a bike that doesn't have anything and I end up sliding around when I try to grip the tank :laugh:

I adjusted my fork settings from middle, 7 clicks, to max, 13 clicks. I also filled a cc dispute with Burkhart Performance for no communication or delivery of my 1" raising links / dog bones. It's been over a month and they don't respond to emails.

13 clicks turned out is actually minimum dampening, the softest dampening setting… was that what you were wanting to achieve?

No I want max dampening. I would say I'm at 13 clicks in, clockwise, in the direction of the H arrow.

I finally dialed mine back by 2-3 clicks from max stiffness, which works at my skill level at the track but I couldn't figure it out on So Cal streets - got pretty beat up by this - and now she's stiff enough but also kinder on the fwys FYI
 
Was looking for a kickstand bracket with the switch bolt and nut still attached to replaced mine, since the threads were messed and I had installed the shouldered nut backwards a few years ago to hold things together. Got lucky and Found a complete assembly with a PSR adjustable kickstand and put it on tonight after work.

Haven’t gone out on a ride with them yet (it’s raining) but they feel more comfortable than the Pro Grip 719 I was using. Fits my hand better so I’m already satisfied with them. Thanks for the suggestion.

I bought the same ones. They feel fatter in the center so I tend to hold the center of the grip between thumb and middle finger with my baby hands.

I swapped out my reservoir screws with stainless ones. No pics, but the old ones were pretty corroded.
 
SO......... What did I do? Wanted to light it on fire
I have been chasing a drivability issue under cruise she's got this hickup

out for a ride, come home read the log make changes retry ect
Well when I would come back I would see a few drops of antifreeze.
this is unacceptable so I once again search and search for a adapter for my Rad pressure tester
once again couldn't find one so I order a complete tester off amazon...................It's crap
went to Harbor freight to get one worked flawlessly

replace hose, go to fire it up..............she won't stay running and is BELLOWING smoke
WTF did I leave a sensor unplugged? map sensor?
angry walk away from bike WTF other than the hickup she has been running pretty good
search search search

Overnight I realized I must have pinched the return line so fuel pressure ,,,AH
So I go and lift the tank... same result WTF?!?!?!
unplug fuel pump and kit the starter.....bike fires and runs for 2-3 seconds before dieing
?!?!?! Walk away again and go for a bicycle ride
In the middle of a climb I think I should double check my Standalone Tune file
!#!@$@!$@$! WTF 1000cc injectors with a Tune for 260cc injectors
