@@drenkajdomcaj I would change them

@@johndoughnut8617 thx for watching 👀 🙏

6ft or 1.8 meters

@@MonkeyButtRides I'm 182..so I guess whatever works for you will probably work for me as well💪

Sounds like an opportunity to upgrade from the old school axial master cylinder to a modern radial style master cylinder. That is what I did, and I recommend it. You can spend loads of cash and get the fancy Brembo. I went with a Nissin Radial master cylinder, and I love it.

I do notice a difference, I don't know if the difference after 1 hour is "significant" but it's a big difference when I'm on a road trip and on the bike for the better part of the day and the one I got is the shortest of the touring screens, I think there are two other sizes with more protection.

Not ignoring you, just been away for a bit, let me see what I can come up with.

@@MonkeyButtRides i orders new throttle slides :) so all good

For the outter tube the service manual recommends a range. I run close to max because I'm a fairly heavy rider and the more fluid you put in the more bottoming resistance you get. The range is around 11-12 ounces. I will double check my manual in the AM but I think it's like 10.8 - 12.2. You could put in 11 ounces and be just fine. I also run 7wt but I think the standard is 5wt.

@@MonkeyButtRides thank you

Ok, the actual range according to the service manual is 10.1-12.7 US OZ. Standard amount is 11.2 US OZ.

@aussiepride2374 probably not the best choice for a first bike

No codes. A power commander or even a reflash are not required. That said I did eventually get mine reflashed.

No o2 sensor on the Gen 4. I did have to unplug my o2 sensors on the 2022 Busa after the flash.

BTW, your Gen4 is lovely!!! Just watched your vid.

Thanks so much for the reply! I like yours as well! Just sent my ECU in. I saw your plate are you located in Colorado as well? I’m near Denver if you ever want to ride!

@@Zx10Runner I'm in the springs. I'd be down to ride. I'm on Instagram if you want to hit me up there.

Through the bearing*

It's been a minute but from what I remember, the swingarm bearings need to be measured when pressed in. They are supposed to recess in only so far and there is no back stop on the swingarm like there is in the linkage. For the linkage you press the bearing in until it hits the back stop and won't go in any further. Swingarm is press, measure, press some more, measure some more and then stop once they are recessed inside the swingarm the right amount. If your collars are sticking out it's probably because the bearings are not in all the way? Again, it's been a hot minute, I may not be remembering correctly.

and how else do you get to the oil filter on a Busa without taking off the lower right fairing?

Yeah, then I got dumped on real bad, it was a bummer for sure.

@@AhriCRose it is the tank that came with my bike.

@@MonkeyButtRides They're so hard to find :(

@AhriCRose have you tried ebay or Facebook market place? Also the 750 tank is probably the same

I haven't considered that. At this point I would only be interested if it fixed the stupid QS.

Thanks man I appreciate the kind words. I'm turning 50 in a few weeks!!!

It's a pain in the ass, avoid it like it's the plague...

The K&N's are reusable, you wash/dry and oil them. How often really depends. I live in a dry climate, not much dust and I avoid the rain like I'm allergic to water. Plus I have multiple bikes so I don't put a ton of miles on anyone one bike. I clean my air filter once a year. If I put all my miles on one bike, I would probably do it every 6 months or so or if I rode in the rain/dust more often I would clean the air filter more often.

your welcome

@@Charliehin194E yes

No I use it on my bike. Pretty much everywhere. Where I have seen discoloration from Superclean is on unpainted aluminum surfaces. My old GSXR 600 from the late 90;'s has an unpainted aluminum frame and swingarm. I did experience some discoloration on the unpainted aluminum. All that said, I think its strength is as a degreaser.

Thanks for the tip!!! I bet that would work on my ZX10 to!

@javierguizar8553 there is a switch on the brake lever, you should a couple of wires coming off the lever underneath that switch is what triggers the brake light they are all pretty much the same generally there is no adjustment for it

@@MonkeyButtRides thank you sr

Good tip!

Yup, I've even consider a tad taller gearing just for those moments when I need to crunch some miles on my trips but stock gearing for me is pretty dang good.

I have a full service manual for the bike, not sure if I had it at the time of this video or not but I have one now!

I just google street viewed....we rode right past it!!!! I'm so clueless sometimes!! 🤣😂

Cruise control is the key. I've also road tripped on a HD Street Glide once and I was still very thankful for cruise control, it's a different fatigue then a sportbike but you still get tired. Cruise is a must for me regardless of the bike genre.

@@MonkeyButtRides thx. I am cross shopping two very diff bikes. Busa vs low rider st. Amazingly the Busa is cheaper!!!!

Those are very different for sure. HD = $$$, like Ducati, there is a brand tax you pay for all things. Have you checked out Indian motorcycles at all?

🤣😂

I'm going to go back to a K&N this fall when I service the air filter again.

@@MonkeyButtRides what didn't you like

All the dust I saw on the clean side of the air box turned me off. I also was shocked that they don't recommend washing or oiling their filter I get how convenient it is to not have to wait for the filter to dry and then oil it but man the oil is a big part of how that fine dust get's trapped. Anyway, I will do a comparison between my ZX10 (running a KN) and the busa this fall when I service the air filters again. For me, right now, the sprint is a good race filter but I have my doubts in regards a real street bike.

Thanks 👍

I agree. I think I'm going to switch to a K&N which is what I run on my other bikes.

​@@MonkeyButtRides i sent you a reply on ig. For some reason yt wasnt letting me post it here

@@MonkeyButtRides i replied via gram

@MonkeyButtRides i replied via ig

Great question! Most of the time it's planned. I have learned there is a bunch of really crappy Motels out there. I've learned to take my time and make sure I find something decent but sometimes the Busa or my ZX10 has to stay outside but it's rare. That was quite the road trip for my son and he bought an ADV bike shortly there after....LMAO!!

@@MonkeyButtRides Thanks for replying! I sold my 2013 Monster Evo before Covid Lockdowns and am taking time picking my next bike. Pretty sure it will be the Gen 3 Busa. Living vicariously through you. Didn't know Peter was your son, you look young. Btw - I left a comment on your sprint filter maintenance video, with 4 videos pertaining to aftermarket Filters. I saw you had a tune and full M4 exhaust. Check out MWR HE (High Efficiency) air filter. SKU MC-070-21-HE. Foam is supposed to be much better blocking dirt and particles vs what K&N, Sprint etc use. Foam was used by OEM like Kawasaki and Suzuki in past but they stopped due to cost and moved to paper. MWR uses Foam.

Thank you so much 😀

Oh, cool, I follow a few youtubers over in the UK! Hope to visit one year with one of my sons

I didn't know there were seals in the bottom of the forks, I mean not in the knuckle where your axle goes anyway. Man I got to go do some research...LOL

👍

😊 Thanks man, I appreciate it!

No, I should the Busa Kickstands are known for folding up to easy.
