I was wondering if anyone else has had this happend to their 99-07 Busa ??
Travelling (at the speed limit) on Lord St Bassendean last year, without warning, instant deflation of the rear tyre occurred. It appears some sort of bolt or spike penetrated the tyre AND the rim.
Suzuki et al were very sympathetic but completely unhelpful when I discovered the following: see photos
The hugger is mildy 'chipped' at the same / in line with the spot where the tyre was speared, so that sinks the 'did someone shoot at you' conclusion everyone likes. In the end, I bought a used rear rim from Motorcycle Masters. Just lucky it stayed rubber side down.
