I'm so glad this video helps you! I was also terrified using a stand on the brand new Busa, so I came up with this trick. It makes life easier and picking up the bike a whole lot safer. Enjoy your new stands!
I've Had My Busa for almost 9 years, I've never done anything to it on my own because I dnt want to make mistakes. i usually just drop it off to the dealers to get it tuned and tires etcetc, what is the purpose in getting a stand ? Sorry for the noob question LOL Love your channel broski !!! Bad ass!!!
Wow, you're a long time Busa rider! That's awesome broski 🤟🤟 Don't worry, it's not a noob question, it's a very good one actually. Obviously the stand is helpful for removing the wheel and in general working on the bike but since you bring it to the dealer, for you it would be useful to lube the chain and clean the wheel. In some cases also it could be helpful to store the bike if a garage has limited space, being that the bike sits upright with the rear stand it takes up a little less space and also wouldn't create a flat spot on the tire if left for a really long time (barely happens tho) Thank you for all the support and great comments man! I'm very pleased to have you on the channel John! 🙏👍👍
@@MototalkUSA Thank you for the sincere answers! Yeah bro I love your content and you're such an amazing guy! Keep the content coming and be safe , wheelie some for me ! :D
You are totally right to buy a good quality stand for the bike, but I would also highly suggest you screw that wood together and put some rubber pads below them, or even better, build a cross shape wood stand for resting the side stand on. Your bike being on the ground is only as good as the weakest point in the chain and it looked sooooooooooooo sketchy when you were resting it on those 2x4's. Just say'n.
Concrete block would be safer than 2 timbers. Just need the right height. I always find getting it back down a bit lairy, making sure it goes left and not right!!!...
What if pushing down on the stand is…like freaking hard to do? I have a light bike like 380 or something pounds but it’s hard to push down:< im 112 pounds myself but I don’t think that’s a factor? Maybe I’m just really weak LOL N I put all my strength into it btw.. I’m not scared of it falling so it’s not that
My bike is about 580lbs and I'm not no Hercules but I manage. It is a little hard but not omg hard. Really what you do is you push on the stand lever away from the motorcycle, not downward, and at the same time with your other hand pull the bike upwards, If you can picture what I'm explaining.
@MototalkUSA i have a gen3 busa and my friend has a old one . And i could completely feel the difference between bith the bikes and is there anything can be done to improve the brakes on gen 2 busa ? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks
@@npraveen4135 absolutely man, I don't know what year and how much use this bike has but keep in mind the Gen3 has brembo brakes in the front where as the Gen 2 saw brembo front brakes in 2013 and later. You can start by replacing the brake fluid, it should be done every 2 years regardless anyway and I have a video on how to do that. While you're at it you can install braided lines and get rid of the stock rubber ones, according to the owners manual they should be replaced every 4 years anyway too. The braided lines give a more "sturdy" feel. Brake pad material plays a role too and lastly you got the wear factor. The rotors may be grooved, the pistons in the calipers may be sticking etc.
I have teh exact same bike. Using the blocks under the kickstand I *highly* do not recommend. You don't need them. I use my stand to slowly straighten the bike as it is lifting. and when I let it down the same thing. I think because you see a Hayabusa as heavy is why you are taking that path. I used to have a center stand on my 2000 busa so I am pretty used to the weight. No center stands for the 2020 :-(
That's totally fine, whatever works best for you is the preferred way. Everyone has a different method, this happens to work the best for me and a few others because it's hard to keep this heavy bike balanced and lift it up at the same time.
