I just received an email today & there back in stock. Order from the USA & they ship worldwide often ends up cheaper than buying them locally. Deeper tone but not anti social, I’d imagine the full system would have even more character. 👌
Congratulations on your new Busa Gen 3 😍! I have Gen 1 and Gen 2 and possible Gen 3, the ideal is to lift it yourself and it is quite easy if you put a hard wooden or metal block high enough to stand the motorcycle upright. or a little less (as you have already been told with a book). In this way it will be easy for you to control the movement of the motorcycle and put the workshop stand and raise it. If you want and to be safe, you can use a hydraulic car jack, so that the motorcycle does not fall to the other side. You can also lift the motorcycle with hydraulic jacks and then easily place the workshop stand. But just putting a piece of wood or metal (and always have it close) under the side leg makes it very easy (and he has enough strength in his arms to avoid problems). The front stand is fine if you want to move the bike with it, but you will need another one to change the front wheel and that is anchored in the fork (bottom and/or top) and leaves the wheel suspended. I think you already mentioned it, but there are rear stands that do not hook onto the rear axle but under the swingarm and have a free axle in case you need to remove it and remove the wheel. You just have to look for one that also allows you to move the motorcycle. A word of warning, always have a gear on or the brakes locked when you leave the motorcycle resting on its lateral support because it has a tendency (due to poor weight distribution design) that makes the support move and rise and crash. Regards ✌😉👍.
That’s such a gorgeous bike Ben. But that mobil stand device looks like a real bear to deal with. I do see it being a helpful tool when doing an oil change yourself.
I suggest you put a book under the kick stand. It can help the bike keep in vertical status. After finishing the above jobs. You can stand on the left side of motorcycle then erect the rear wheel stand. Remember to put your steering on leftward. Otherwise, the motorcycle may fall down easily.
Thanks for your feedback, I need to make another video as I now have confidence in using the stand & once I knock it into a gear it’s totally manageable. 👍
I have the harbor freight rear spool stand and it is almost unusable as the handle is against the fender and makes it hard to maneuver. You have to stand the bike up holding the rear seat grip to use it. Kinda sketchy. But I like these stands although I have a dirt driveway.
Thanks for the watch. There slip that on cans from; www.yoshimura-rd.com/collections/all/products/hayabusa-race-r-77-dual-stainless-slip-on-exhaust-w-onyx-mufflers-1121120920
I should make a follow up, thanks to a viewer suggesting I knock it into gear prior to mounting the rear stand, the bike now stays still & I’ve got a lot more confident in pulling the bike towards me to navigate the stand into place. Highly recommend.
You will, drop your Busa with this setup. Mate , check out ABBA STANDS UK. I have the Superbike stand and the Skylift. I use them all the time with my Gen 2 Busa. Fantastic reliable lifting manoeuvring products. 🇬🇧🏴👍🏻
