@@cecilwilson5442 I see your roads from videos, seem so narrow with those hedges on the sides. Here we have the back roads lined with trees, then a fence and then the farmers’ paddocks. The trees are not forgiving.
I have a 2005 that I got from the tow company where I work. It needs about $1400 to make it nice again; the PO dropped it in gravel at a shopping center entrance and RAN, leaving it lying injured in the road. So Mr. I Have Warrants never came to get it and now it's legally mine. :) It lived a life of comfort and shelter until just recently; all mechanicals are good, I replaced the stator cover, everything plastic from the front fender to the rear & the gauge/headlight/fairing mount is on order. Soon there'll be a Hayabusa painted like a Slingshot running around 75160 with a FOR SALE sign on it.
Thanks mate, exactly the info I was looking for. Have been getting cupping on the rear tyre of my gen 1. I believe my rebound is set to fast, like the tyre is jumping mid corner.
I’ve adjusted my stock suspension on the gen2 and am pretty happy with the result but haven’t tried lower tyre pressures than the recommended, but I will try 36 front and back next ride
When I head out on track with say, 30f 28r the bike feels like it’s got flat tyres for a lap or two but on the road, 36/36 felt normal, no flat feeling and no falling in of the handlebars around round-a-bouts… it was ok.
Hey that’s interesting, I’ve never heard of a flat bladed screw driver for single slotted screws called that. But yes mate, of course I know of the Whitworth taps & dies, sockets and spanners but anyway, thanks for the info. I’m in Australia but maybe where you are things are different.
Sorry, not for sale because those blue fairings' are for the gen1 that has no engine in it at the moment ( 2nd gear problem). The plan is to have 3 complete sets for the 2 bikes. Sorry.
Are you a member of the "Australian Hayabusa Club" Facebook page? If not join up and ask. Barry Johnston is brilliant. Also, I'm in Perth and I phoned Shock Treatment (quite a while ago) and they were very helpful over the phone and I went with the RaceTech parts but fitted here in WA.
What I've done with the zip tie is measure the sag of the forks with me sitting on the bike. My aim was 30mm of sag. (Gen1 front fork stroke is 120mm). Two man job. Zip the tie around the leg, sit on the bike normally and slide the zip tie up against the dust seal of the fork leg, then with the side stand down step off the bike to the left and while leaning the bike against the side stand lift by the handle bars to extend the forks, while holding the front up (using the side stand to lever the front of the bike up at the front, the other person measures from the zip tie to the bottom of the fork seal dust cap on the now extended forks. You can do this twice and divide by two if you want an average because of fork stiction. Or three times even.... The aim is to have between 30-35mm of sag, if you have more than that, increase the preload. If you cannot reach those figures by adjusting the preload adjusters you need stronger springs. And that's exactly what I needed, stronger springs because the gen1 front is too soft. My gen1 forks have RaceTech Gold Valves and modified shims and 1.0 springs.
I'm running similar suspension setup, gold valves/ springs f & r. I'm running Gen2 shock, as it's 10mm longer. Metzeler Racetec K3's are awesome. ruclips.net/video/IAJmIFFwXR0/видео.html
Yes here, we have to go B roads for fun as they have cameras and vans on others,,☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️ from northern Ireland

Excellent video I will try the air pressure setting to see if it suits me
Excellent video KJ. Keep it up.
Just love the Hayabusa, I don't have one, I have the GSX S 1000. Would love one some day. Greetings from South Australia, Take Care 😎
Hello from Perth. Have you seen the new GSX-S1000 GX? Just released. I like the look of it a real lot.
I’ve adjusted my stock suspension on the gen2 and am pretty happy with the result but haven’t tried lower tyre pressures than the recommended, but I will try 36 front and back next ride

Great video👍🏻 wow 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you, my number one subscriber!
Good video thanks but I wish people wouldn't call that type of screw driver a flat bladed or anything else it's a Whitworth screw driver.

thanks for sharing.
Hi, a very irrelevant question :D Is the blue fairing on the wall for sale?
Sorry, not for sale because those blue fairings' are for the gen1 that has no engine in it at the moment ( 2nd gear problem). The plan is to have 3 complete sets for the 2 bikes. Sorry.
@@KJmotoplus no worries, thanks though
I’ve got the Gen 3 Busa. Who would you suggest in the Canberra/ Sydney area to set my suspension. I’d love to be more knowledgeable in this area.

I’m impressed! Sounds like you have really dialed in your Hayabusa to the way you like to ride. Thanks for the info too!
