New guy

[Heezus]

Hi all. Just bought a red/black 99. I have a fair bit of city riding experience but 99% of it was on my VTR250. not much experience on a big bike and my first week of Busa ownership was less than awesome.
I got it from a second hand dealer and rode home like I just sold a 250 and bought a 1300, anxiety at every set of lights not wanting to get thrown off while being aware that cars behind can see me putting along almost stalling on the 20th centuries ultimate icon of speed and balls.

The next outing had me feeling like the bike was no big deal and I was slightly disappointed until it sputtered along stalling at lights and generally being a piece of shit, at this point I was hugely disappointed. I looked up this site and freaked out thinking of all the things that could be wrong with my new(old) bike.
As soon as I could, I dropped the bike at Mick hone had it serviced, injectors cleaned and all filters replaced.
It cost a heap but could have been much worse. The mechanic showed me the filters and photos of the cleanable filters before he cleaned them.
It seems the previous owner didn't believe in servicing.

The silver lining was that the fuel pump was still good and all that power(and anxiety) was back for the ride home.

Again I'm in love with my bike and can't wait for this bullshit Melbourne weather to dry up.

Hope to see you all on the road
Heezus.
