    The questions/comments on my 'Busa

    From all I've read on the trans is that it's a common issue. I've read several guys with less than 1000 miles on their bikes having the issue. *Shrugs* I've owned the bike a month now and it's had nothing but issues since I got it. I hope I'm over the last hurdle. Right now it's geard -1...

    2 Stangs - I'm not hurt, it just seems it's a round -e-round of posts. I used to live at the strip as well. I've seen what the above mentioned bikes can do, I'm not a magazine racer in the least bit. RJ - Not sure if you get my point, which has been the same the whole thread or not. I hope you...

    Well the 1st Gen 'Busa's are known for second gear issues. I have a back cut trans arriving tomorrow for the bike. I can ride it but WOT in 2nd the bike skips once or twice due to the dogs rounding. Back cutting them cures this, I also have billet shift forks for it to. Mine's a 99, right now...

    I'm not debating any more. You choose to say one bike can make things up but the other is the constant which is a flawed way to look at things. I'm not saying a new VMax won't beat a Busa at the track as riders have everything to do with it. What do you run at the track on yours? Are you...

    Details on? :D The 'Busa I just picked up, still sorting out some bugs and the junk Suzuki transmissions they put in these bikes. The VMax never made it to the track, it was more of my power cruiser of sorts. Lay'd down 122 rwhp and 77rwtq, I miss it bad. My father in law has it now...

    How are you getting this? I hope your joking!

    I bet I have less in that bike than you think. I also sold my VMax and my 67 Dart project to fund it.

    I've never been to a track, all I do is magazine race. Pfft ya got me. The VMax is the quintesential motorcycle for all things race oriented. Better? RJ - No need to get it twisted, I owned a damn VMax and will again. Why the hostility when I put down physical numbers on a bike and explain...

    I thought we were comparing apples to apples, pro rider to pro rider, Max vs Busa? What person can't change out motor oil? Isn't that like changing fuel octaine? I can see some people want their heads in the sand, it's cool.

    engine tick

    I bought the cheapie harmonic balancer puller from O'Reilly's and then got hardened 8mm bolts from Menards. Metric bolts aren't grade 8, they're like a 10.9 or something for the "hardened" bolt. Got a few washers to keep from pulling through the puller, a pry bar to wedge between the bolts and...

    Oh I'm sorry, he went 9.3 stock trapping more mph, and with a pipe and program went into the 8's. For some of you guys getting so worked up over this you gotta have stock invested in Yamaha or something! Haha I don't know why I try to debate, so here it is on the 14 and the Busa, have at it...

    Ricky Gadson went bottom 9's on the '08 on Superbikes what are you talking about? I don't know how many times I can post that I hope the VMax does put them to shame. I have zero vested interest in any brand of motorcycle. I don't understand the slanted views.....

    Lemme know when you do it Jeff, they're a breeze! I just did it on my old one last weekend. I just ordered the starter clutch (which was cracked) and the gaskets. The gears were fine on mine.

    Ethanol issues

    Hahaha no way, the new Max will smoke anything on the road! :rofl_200:

    9.43@142mph!!!!!!!

    I'm done, you and your blindingly loyalty to Yamaha isn't going to see the obvious in numbers alone. Those guys running 9 flat on a stock 'Busa are in a world of hurt by a bike with the same rwhp weighing 150+lbs more. Hahaha I get that it's a VMax forum, I owned one, I still talk to a few...

    9.43@142mph!!!!!!!

    RJ - Your missing the point it seems about the average rider on a bike. The same rider on a new VMax I guarantee won't be as fast down the quarter as he would on the Busa or 14. Would I go out and say that nobody has run a 10.8 on a stock 1st gen? Again, you missed the point. I didn't say...

    Ethanol issues

    I run 10% ethonal in all my stuff. We've had it here in Iowa for as long as I can remember. Are you talking about E85? I've heard a bunch of stories about having to swtich out hoses etc to run it, but most of it is myth.

    Go run the 10.8 that the 1st Gen Max is supposed to run stock. ;) (Just havin' some fun)

    Oh I bet it just gets worse until real people are out on the track struggling to run mid 10's.

    Mark I heard that too. I'm just not experiencing it. Perhaps I got a bad one? Haha To anybody reading my posts taking offense I'm not posting to do so. I'm just trying to reason why I don't think the bike is gonna run. The minute I do that the responses of reasonings why I'd buy the bike...
