Servicing the busa

[haveugot1 0]

Well today i thought the bike needed some work. Ive changed the brake and clutch fluid for dot 4 racing fluid, dropped and replaced the coolant. Then generally just a clean up. Getting the wheels powder coated candy red.


Getting a carbon fibre front mudguard then she will be nearly ready for next yr.

bit different to the old bandit innit m8.
the wheels will look nice you can get some great colours in powdercoat now.

[haveugot1 0]

Your not wrong ian it took 40mins to get the fairings off. 

Was going to get the wheels done candy carbon dipped but they want £140 per wheel. Were as I can get them powder coated for £110 including the sprocket carrier.

don't forget though you will have to fit new bearings, as you have to take them out cos the curing temp will kill them.

Will look real nice Mark, love them candy red wheels. Good work on the bike at least you know it is mechanically sorted    Oh! I got absolutely soaked yesterday!                         That will teach me to put waterproofs on

I did wonder if you made it m8. 

Got the coolant in ok and ran it through then finished the bleeding so all is well. Just need oil and filter then can start on wheels.

Ordered new indicators and just missed out on a carbon hugger.

ive got a nice smoked grey back light for your busa mark its brand new still in the box and you dont have to wire the indicators up to it if you dont want it to flash half yellow when you indicate  and ive got a carbon hugger

Should be mate, the carbon dip along with everything else will make it stand out    

Then there's the red wheels (if you get them done)  

[haveugot1 0]

At least we won't lose you           

And the red wheels will make it go faster. Something about red wheels spinning faster than black ones  

Same way green bikes are faster than black or blue bikes

You only bought a green bike to get noticed cos their boringly slow.

Beg to differ. Have you ever been overtaken by a green bike? No? Well that's because they're too fast for you to see

Regardless of colour Suzuki is still better  




















And black is quicker
