Welcome to the club and the world of BUSA somebodyelse.
I'm sure I've seen that bike somewhere before
.Didn't go down too hard.
RE: what am i doing? - somebodyelse - 25-12-2014
WA is a pretty small state, I thought someone must know how it got here.

is that a lime green? I have seen a "yellow" for my L3 with the flame motif's that I was looking at getting LOL
There are a couple of PITA spots on the busa that seems to attract allen keys, sockets, screws and fairing clips like a black hole, but don't worry they normally vibrate out at 140 lol
RE: what am i doing? - duc13 - 02-01-2015
Woah thats green! lol. Have you had her out for a ride yet?

That's as good as I can do at the momentPoor old camera on tablet can't handle it
It is that bright
Out in the sun today
Look at it then turn away and you get a purple busa superimposed over everything you see
The more observant may have spotted the licence plate.
What doesn't come up in pics is major clutch slippage
Story:
Was little bit worried about licence with pipe on
So stuffed exhaust with brillo
Took for tentative ride around block to check if It actually ran
Seemed ok as unlicensed and nooby went very gentle
Rode to licence place
Again pretty gentle as no plate and brillo up muffler
Wasn't astounded by the acceleration bit put that down to plugged up muffler
Got there brillo was hanging out like a tail so took it out and hoped for best
Bloke didn't even mention noise
Got plate - win
So thought ok I'll loosen up a little
Turned up the noise
And that's all I get
So got it home screaming its head off
All the while worried that there'd be a clunk and the thing would fly off
Also found suspension to be a lot harder than I expected
So the journey continues
1 step forward
1 step back

What oil is in the bike? If someone has put automotive engine oil in it it may cause the clutch to slip.
RE: what am i doing? - Batfink - 08-01-2015
+1 for what Mozzie said
there are many myths as to what you can use in a bike and some people don't understand vehicle lube at all. Before starting an expensive clutch rebuild try flushing and changing oil for the right stuff
RE: what am i doing? - somebodyelse - 10-01-2015
Learnt two things today
1. Oil was probably ok.
2. "I'd rather push my hayabusa than ride anything else" is not a viable phrase.

RE: what am i doing? - mozzie26 - 10-01-2015
Check the clutch push rod behind the clutch slave cylinder is not gummed up with chain lube.
RE: what am i doing? - somebodyelse - 10-01-2015
Call me Sherlock
given bike was probably working fine before the fairings got damaged
either it was damaged as well at the time
Or it was something that happened later.
Small prize for correct guess
Prize is cheapo Chinese clutch lever
