Modding the New Pashnit Hayabusa

[pashnit]

Next we'll also toss the stock shift lever & brake pedal for folding models. Why swap those out? If you've ever watched your buddies bike fall over in a parking long on a long multi-day ride and watch him snap off his shift lever? That'll make the decision for you. Yes, that's actually happened on a Pashnit Tour.

On the Busa, taking off the brake & shift lever, you'll need an alan wrench and a snap ring pliers.




Remove snap ring






Remove the springs - if you have a Spring Puller tool, use that preferably.

Then the rear cotter pin for the brakes

The Shift Lever is a bit more involved, but still easily done. No need to take the rearset off on this side:




Once we got that off, can compare to make sure everything matches.



On the Gen-II (08+) Busa, the shift rod is a different length then the Gen-I (99-07). Here's a pic of both. The Gen-II (-8+) is shorter, but still works just fine.



Just remember when you put it back together, the shift rod has reverse threads on it.



On goes the snap ring:



Seems simple enough, but it needs to be adjusted. Hop on bike and put your foot where it would rest, then shift through the gears. Adjust the shift lever up or down with the shift rod.


All finished!
