Like I mentioned in a previous posting, I'd like to
recommend Pitstop Pete to anyone wanting to get the
most out of their bike. My busa was previously serviced
by Mick Hone and played with by John Phillips of Suzuki, but Pete managed to tune the injection to perfection. 12 HP more and kicking ass at 172....

Can anyone explain the advantage of changing to a synthetic oil, and why it is not recommended to do so in the first couple of thousand k's? <i></i>

Hi there,

I recently changed my fork settings by dropping both tripple clamps 4mm and tightning the back suspension by 2mm.

I must say my bussa now flicks into and out of corners much better than standard.

Has anyone else made small changes in the handling area and if so what?

Love my busa.

Does anyone know what luggage rack Pearl has on her busa? I'm getting away for a while and want to put some stuff on the back.

P.S. No, I won't overload it. <i></i>

Apparently the new sub-frame will cost about 145 ponds about (AUD$350?) - it does appear they are going to re-call and fit free - yet .....

Ok I filled up after that Noogee run, yesterday and here are the figures;

299km for 21.14 litres = 14.14 klm per litre.(Std.Unleaded)

The meter on the bike showed 15.7 km/litre. Hardly reliable. I also paid a massive 99.9c per/Lt. for Optimax. The previous fill was standard unleaded.

Figures dont look all that good, however I do run the bike hard many times, looks like I need a visit to Petes pitstop.

I've uploaded some photos so i hope it worked.

I've been down to Pitstop Petes and had my bike on the Dyno etc, and it was the best money i've spent on my bike since buying it 13 months ago! He got an extra 12 ponies out of her and it feels so smooth that it almost feels like a new bike. I cannot recommend his services highly enough. Just get your beast down there and see for yourself! <i></i>

I know you all think I'm obsessed by seats but hey - sit on it!

Does anyone know of a replacement pillion seat?
The wifey's getting a sore bum ... Corbin don't make one unfortunately ..
