huh? you are totaly reading me all wrong Pete!
You can do whatever to your bike you like, doesn't bother me at all. If you want to save some money and do a temp fix...go for it. If you read back though this exact thread...I did the same at first! I am not against you doing that in the slightest!! But I will not for a second go telling people that cleaning out their fuel filters is the best way to go about things and start a trend of that's what is an ideal choice to be doing.....it simply isn't. It is not the best option for the Busa!!
and that's the only advice I will give......what should be done!! If you can't afford that and find an alternative, your call, your savings, your choice, not critisizing that.
A lot of people on here DO have cash to burn...and are buying aftermarket parts left right centre, doing track days, doing tours, buying turbo's, building second bikes, have 5 bikes, custom paint jobs, carbon wheels, you name it......no I will not tell them spray brake cleaner into you fuel filter to save a few hundred bucks.
Let it be known that I myself get my filters from Ebay from wrecked bikes being parted out.....bought one last week...complete system, pump, filters, floats etc...for $250 with only 1700k's of use, my last one for a complete system only cost me $160 and I've almost done 30,000k's on that!.
So friggin over this thread now, I will not post any more comments toward it.....feel like I completely wasted my time giving everyone the lab results of the filters that I had independantly tested and showed people what the fuel is doing to their bike on the chemical level. The results speak for themselves.
