Proof I wash my bike!!

Handling is pretty good. The shock is much smoother with the racetech valves than a standard shock. A great addition to the bike.

I think the gen 2 shock must be slightly longer than gen 1 as it's increased the ride height, even though I've adjusted the preload so it's in much the same position as my gen 1 shock was.

Wow I'm shocked at some members cleaning intervals

I clean mine after every ride while enjoying a nice cold beverage

Even my KTM690SMC which I ride to work most days gets cleaned each night .

I,m with you browneye my bike gets cleaned after each ride i,v had other riders in our group comment on how clean and shiney it is and how it still looks new. i pride myself in having it look its best every time i take it out after all the busa is the bike all other bikes want to be.

I am still the same - oh wait worst - for last 2 months I haven't even looked at my Busa. Got this one in 2009 sept - for some very odd reason - I am not hooked with this they way I was with my Gen1's - maybe I got the wrong color or maybe I am an idiot for thing out loud...l.

My bike gets washed twice a year - whether it needs it or not! I'd rather be out ridin' than at home cleanin'! Not knockin' anyone, just sayin'

+3 for washing after each ride , those bugs are to hard to get off later and they can stain the alloy etc.
