What is it that you DON'T like about your bike?

[Armitage Shanks]

Had a thought and I love my Bike, an '07 Busa but:

There's no gear indicator

Footpegs are too high, = major leg pain after 60 min and sore arms from holding on

Limited storage = very limited

Speedo error ...way out ( 10 % at lower speeds )

Turning circle is minimal and impossible to oil the chain without a 'Bike stand' or a spare 10 minutes on your knees inching the bike along incrementally squirting hoping you hit the target on the link, you never do ....

Whats wrong with your ride ? :cool:

[pzkpfw]

It's a bit of an orphan - hard to get parts like huggers for it.

[speights_bud]

It doesn't go fast enough :weep:

Whats wrong with your ride ? :cool: Buy a gear indicator,why ones needed is beyond me but if so theres plenty out there,same goes for adjustable rearsets,plenty available for a Busa.Turning circle wont be any worse than most i wouldnt imagine,as for oiling chain and speedo....same.As for whats wrong with mine?its old but i havent the heart to send it on its way:oi-grr:sad really.

[Oakie]

The seat is a bit thin. If I sit the wrong way and get off after about 40 minutes my nether regions (I mean the front ones) are numb and tingly. When I walk it tickles and makes me walk funny.

[Boob Johnson]

Single seater :(


Other wise love it

[Headbanger]

Nothing, My bikes fuckin sweeeeeeet.

[Blackshear]

Apart from the butter forks and it eating chains (Due to shops not putting the damn back wheel straight, rawr.), all I could think of is a little more power so it can NOT SIT at 10-11krpm on the motorway. Otherwise I love her :banana:

[James Deuce]

That everybody thinks it sucks and are quite happy to tell me that.

The only thing really wrong with it is the seat is too hard.

[mynameis]

Don't whinge about what you got because I don't have anything at the moment :rant:

Meeeh what do you need gear indicator for?

Adjustable rearsets.

Turning circle, fat bike eh? LOl..

[mynameis]

That everybody thinks it sucks and are quite happy to tell me that.

The only thing really wrong with it is the seat is too hard.

Oi jimjim what do you think of Z750 and Zthou ?

[yod]

I never said it sucked!!

I might have thought it though....is that wrong?

The fact that the bike/rider combination is SO cool that by the time I stop and take all the helmet and gear off the yummy chickie spectating me is already at the post coital smoke stage

:whistle:

[rosie631]

Some would see that as a plus. :lol:

[James Deuce]

Oi jimjim what do you think of Z750 and Zthou ?

I got the Z750S because it had that half fairing. I love it. I talk about buying other bikes, but there's sod all do everything bikes on the market that are fun to ride. The Z1000 is the Z750 for girls or blokes with a tiny weeny "one". Both engines are based on the ZX9R mill. 1000 has more top end, but the Z750S pilot doesn't need George Foreman neck muscles.

Seat's hard and the suspension is typical cheap Kawasaki oversprung underdamped we-are-going-to-crush-your-nads-into-disc-shaped-mountain-oysters. Both are easy to fix. The Z750 is way better looking than the Z750S (IMO) but isn't quite as good at the commute all week, tour/blat all weekend. Again IMO. I'll shut up now.

[Dean]

Mines to low of a seat height, suspension is a bit mushy, like riding a horse on those competition courses (What ever you call them) when i encounter uneven road surfaces, bumps etc.

[mynameis]

on the stove, warming up....

Got them before you, you're slow.

:corn:

Sorry for hijacking your thread, it's KB

Yes. I have actually quite enjoyed the sensation on a couple of ocassions. :whistle:

:corn:....

[Gremlin]

Seat... I've come across bricks that are softer - getting remedied tho, new seat is on the way.

Fuel usage... the thing abuses fuel, it sucks. Worst consumption so far is 8L/100km, and it usually sits in the high 6 - mid 7. Bigger than average fuel tank, but it doesn't last long enough :weep:

[Whynot]

hmm

nothing really, more torque would be good .... but thats not really the bikes fault.

[Sharry]

She's been slowely shrinking over the last 6 months. I'm not sure how, just topped up her coolant so she's getting her greens :lol:

[Armitage Shanks]

And another thing...my ex Bandit 1200 had horn ( twin horns ) that were LOUD , like a man with 3 balls and a 10 inch cock....the Busa has a horn that sounds like a 6 year old girl that's just stubbed her toe , Hello ...wtf ?:oi-grr:

[peasea]

I don't like the fact that mine's not self cleaning.

[Mom]

My blue lovely is a long way from home at the moment, that is what I dont like about her at the moment. Apart from that, nothing!

[CookMySock]

Too bumpy.

Steve

[fatboyzed]

Its not as fast as the day i got it anymore.

[rainman]

Meeeh what do you need gear indicator for?


Haveta say I agree - if it sounds too revvy change up, if it's struggling change down. Sorted.


I don't like the fact that mine's not self cleaning.

Yeah, can relate.

What I would change about my bike:
- Spray the tank and other bits to be the same colour. One day when I have time/money.
- Apparently the pillion seat is really uncomfortable, says Mrs Rainman.

[MotoGirl]

There are a couple of things wrong with my bike:

The clutch continuously needs bleeding, which results in it being impossible to find neutral when you're at a standstill
The rear brake has been known to fade into oblivion very, very quickly
The sidestand is on a poor angle, which makes the bike too upright. It can't be parked anywhere other than where it is dead flat. (Another KBer found his RSVR lying on its side because a breath of wind blew it over.)

[bsasuper]

I didnt like how long it took to big bore the 92 blade, but it sparked into life today so all is forgiven:cool:

[sondela]

Whats not to love about a Ducati!
however if it went further between fuel stops.. then it would be perfect ;)

[Insanity_rules]

Whats not to love about a Ducati!
however if it went further between fuel stops.. then it would be perfect ;)

Two things I hate about my Ducati....

1) Two neutrals

2) Its in about a bajillion pieces at TSS Motorcycles at the moment.

I miss it so badly I caught myself pausing a little too long in front of an ss in a bike park, looking at it longingly.

[98tls]

however if it went further between fuel stops.. then it would be perfect ;) Would depend on wether it was a Bevel drive or not,if so theres plenty not to love but at the same time all is easily forgiven in the name of character,if not then what is there to love:zzzz::whistle:

[MDR2]

the fact i had to watch some one trailor it away today to begin it's new life in invercargill :crybaby:

No center stand, but thats not a biggy.

[98tls]

getting hoards of sexy woman clambering round me every time I stop....... Female sheep are easily confused with Kiwi women,dont be fooled.

[=cJ=]

Limited range can be a bit of a pain as cowboys can attest :p

Kinda tricky to fit anything bigger than a toothbrush.

But then, I wanted a sprotsbike, so those things are rather secondary considerations...

[Freshh2o]

Me too..
There's no gear indicator
Footpegs are too high, though major leg pain for me takes about 3 hours..
Limited storage = very limited
Speedo error ...way out ( 10 % at lower speeds )

PLUS
The RV mirrors mostly reflect my arms!

[cowboyz]

as long as they keep you warm.............

thats a shocker alright! You woud think if they went to the effort of building abike thats fun to ride they would let you enjoy it for more than an hour and a half at a time!

[Motu]

Not enough steering lock,not enough ground clearance,no sump guard....but I can live with these things.

[rosie631]

There's no gear indicator


I didn't know bikes even came with gear indicators. Why would you need one? Don't you just listen to the bike?

[James Deuce]

I blame NCEA. Kids leave school unable to count up to 6 and back down to 1.

[AllanB]

I didn't know bikes even came with gear indicators. Why would you need one? Don't you just listen to the bike?

The thing with the big bore 6 speed Jap bikes is that the bikes have that much grunt, are very smooth and the gears are very close ratio. Its often not easy to tell what gear you are in unless you've been doing a mental count. Plus with stock pipes and some wind noise they are bloody quiet now days!
Lets face it if they have a pipe on them then there is noise in every gear, just a different degree of urgency.

The difference between 5 & 6th gear on the open road on my Hornet is only about 500rpm. I've also been know to reach for 7th...........

Harleys are easy - shove it in top and lug it around :girlfight:

[zeocen]

Haha, I'm always searching for 7th gear too, haven't found it yet.
Guess I'm still not used to going from a twin back to a smooth IL4 hehe.

Apart from that my broad-shoulderness means I need better mirrors, not much else really, I luffa my bike!

[Beemer]

The seat - it would have to be THE most uncomfortable seat to rest your bum on for longer than an hour! Makes a wooden plank feel luxurious!

[puddy]

The bike is perfect. It's the BIG Bugga riding it that's the problem! Being closer to three times the weight of a Miss Universe Australia contestant has advantages sometimes, just not on a bike!

[beyond]

Coomon mate, keeps the rear more planted when you give it a good squirt :)

[beyond]

Like my GSX1400. Best all rounder I reckon. Can't think of anything I would replace it with. Would like the Bking engine in her though and more ground clearance. It's got plenty of low end stonk, more than enough but you how it is :)

[vifferman]

I don't like the scratches on the paintwork (my fault).








Ummm.....




I don't like that the heated grips are playing up and I have to spend some time this weekend trying to work out what's wrong, or fitting new ones. And the speedo's gone on the blink - works when it feels like it. That's OK, except that's MORE time spent diagnosing the fucking thing, when I could be watching TV, or doing housework, or polishing my knob, or doing the grocery shopping, or doing the laundry.

Nah, it's all good.
Ish...

[EJK]

No power.
Cheap tyres.
Top speed of 80kph.
And no 5th gear.

That's about it I guess...

[YellowDog]

Mirrors are designed for appearance and could be larger. I rode a Bandit 1250 the other day and the mirrors were incredible. Looked crap though.

I like the idea of a gear indicator however I just change up or down according to the rev counter. Sometimes there is no up 'cos I'm going too fast and if I could see I was in top gear, then it might be easier.

Why would you want heated grips on the Nawf Shaw?

[flame]

...the cost of the rubber for it! oh well, fik it!:whocares:

[vifferman]

Why would you want heated grips on the Nawf Shaw?
Oh - it came with them on.
Before I bought it, I thought heated grips were only for people who lived in places with real winters. However (but!) it's surprising how much difference they make. I can ride year round with summer-weight gloves, and when it's a bit cold and/or wet, having warm paws makes you feel warm, even if you're not.
I'm in two moinds about them at the moment; my FahrtSturm has skinny gel grips, whereas these are very fat and hard, so if I can't fixxem easily, I may just rippem off and fit some comfy unheated grips instead.

[A_Mans_Ruin]

my nether regions (I mean the front ones) are numb and tingly. When I walk it tickles and makes me walk funny.

Is that a complaint??? Tickles are great!:laugh:

[fergie]

Every bike has it's good and bad points.. mine has a major bad point,,,i am at work and my bike is in the shed,,:soon:

[slofox]

Hmmmm lessee...nitpicking would suggest the following:-

Gear indicator would be useful I guess - always searching for that elusive 7th gear...(it's my excuse if I get stopped for excessive speed..."shorry oshifer, faunt I was in 5th, not 6th...") A likely story...

Could be lower to the ground...

Definitely needs wider mirrors - half a mirror's vision if ya pull your sides in...


But overall I am happy with it as it is...oh...an invisibility cloak that automatically comes on when radar signals are detected would be good....and no, it would not make you more vulnerable 'cause most cagers don't see you anyway...

[kiwifruit]

It doesn't carry enough water bottles

[Marmoot]

What is it that you DON'T like about your Bike?

Depreciation and running cost

[Animal]

The seat gets damned uncomfortable after only 200kms, and the cheap, shitty brackets holding the exhaust cans under the tailpiece.

[Duke girl]

The mirrors are hopeless as the only way I can see anything behind me is to either drop my arms down by my side while I have a quick look or move my head pass my shoulders to the side I am trying to have a look behind.
The seat is ok for about the 1st 100ks then after that, it starts to get the hard feeling.

[thehollowmen]

I don't have a regular pillion with this bike
:shifty:

[Hiflyer]

the grips on they hyosung are real hard :'( i like aftermarket ones :) uuummm nothing else i dont really like. . . oh except for when my throttle jammed couple of days ago ....................

[sinned]

Gen2 Busa - too much power and too fast.
I used to love working the speedtriple (I traded) up through the gears -watching the revs climb and the limiter lights blink and hearing the triple sound brought on a huge smile. I can't do that on the busa - too fast at 170 change point in 2nd, bump as front comes down and arms retreat into their socket. Not a smile but a tremble of - fuck is that fear?

Do like that gear indicator otherwise I wouldn't know what gear am running in - the S3 needed and should have had one.

Seat is a bit hard after all day riding - Rider seats here I come.

Storage is fixed with a pack rack. Paddock stand has enabled chain oiling.

Other than the Fear Factor I love this bike.


Had a thought and I love my Bike, an '07 Busa but:

There's no gear indicator

Footpegs are too high, = major leg pain after 60 min and sore arms from holding on

Limited storage = very limited

Speedo error ...way out ( 10 % at lower speeds )

Turning circle is minimal and impossible to oil the chain without a 'Bike stand' or a spare 10 minutes on your knees inching the bike along incrementally squirting hoping you hit the target on the link, you never do ....

Whats wrong with your ride ? :cool:

[peasea]

I have to stop to put gas in it. It's so comfy I never want to get off. (A bit like the missus really.)

[MotoKuzzi]

Love everything about mine except for the fact that the upright cruiser rideing position has stuffed my back.

[MSTRS]

The seat is a bit thin. If I sit the wrong way and get off after about 40 minutes my nether regions (I mean the front ones) are numb and tingly. When I walk it tickles and makes me walk funny.

Mrs Oakie's knickers might be fine in the privacy of your own home, but the shortfalls show up when out and about. Eh?
Bling for an oft quoted post....

[JacksColdSweat]

2nd gear vs neutral

Can I find neutral when I'm stopped at lights etc - nope. But when I set off from said lights and click up from 1st expecting 2nd - there it is (neutral) - every freaking time!

I look/feel like a total numpty changing into neutral and then stuttering around trying to find 2nd and shedding speed... grrr!

I also wish it had just a bit more top end. I don't really want to go very fast but I really feel like it's revving it's tits off at 100kph

[boman]

No Petrol guage, it has a warning light but no gauge.
No gear indicator.
No 7th gear when I go looking. Just as well they put them in a box ae??

:doh:

[mnkyboy]

No Petrol guage, it has a warning light but no guage.

:doh:

I dont even have a warning light for fuel, or gear indicator - dont even have 6 gears.

Only thing i dont like about mine is the frame flex

[P38]

Fuel Capacity.

15.5l just aint enough for such a comfortable cruiser.

I get between 280-300kms/tank but would like to get at least 400kms.

Another 4l should do the trick nicely.

[Nagash]

Err... majorly terrible fuel consumption in combination with a small gas tank.

13L and that'll last me 150km's if i'm having some fun. Makes for some very interesting situations and a lighter wallet.


That's really about it actually.. I love the damn thing.

[FROSTY]

Kawasaki kx125
The simple fact that some total scumsucking asshole is currently riding it after stealing it from me. other than that -good bike

[gatch]

1. the motor is fucked
2. I havnt found a replacement yet
3. the rest of the project wont finish itself..

woman and wheels..

[puddytat]

No gear indicator
Stink lights
Otherwise it goes faster than I can....

[Pascal]

Being a few cm shy of 2m tall, I DON'T like the fact that I feel like a clown ontop a itty bitty bike. That and the glaring yellow plate on the back that needs to come off. Six months to go. Six months!

[DarkLord]

Aside from the obvious fact that it's a Hyo...

The header system is absolute crap and rattles like nobody's business.

It's slow.

[vifferman]

Man - some of the complaints here! :blink:
I know what gear the VFR is in (without a gear indicator), I have no problems with comfort, the mirrors have good vision, the tank has good capacity, the lights are good, the pillion accommodation is fine, the handling is good, it doesn't need any more gears (in fact, I lowered the gearing).
All the things I thought needed fixing have been (better horns, disabled the O2 sensors and fitted a Power Commander with a pretty good map, fitted a Ventura packrack, replaced the rear shock and front springs, replaced the urrgleee front indicators, blah blah blah).
I've sometimes considered test-riding other bikes like various Triumphs, Ducatis, etc, but what's the point? This bike does everything I want it to, is a great all-rounder, sounds good, goes well, is very reliable, and very well made.

[peasea]

This bike does everything I want it to

That, my friend, says it all.

[driftn]

It'll wheelie of the throttle in the first 3 gears, wheelies are neither big nor clever.


Who am I kidding wheelies are cool and big wheelies are very clever.

I love my bike to bits and cant fault it.

If you dont like it dont ride it.

[AllanB]

One thing I do really like about the things I did not like (WTF!) on the Hornet is changing them. I like altering bits, plus it makes it just that bit more....mine.:yes:
Bars, mirrors, turn-signals, grab handle removal etc. Mufflers & tail tidy to come (winter project).

About that gear indicator..........

[fj20_180b]

Getting told/reminded that I will die a horrible gruesome death every time a random non-biker stops to comment or talk about the bike - which is at almost every gas station

[Metalor]

What I don't like about my bike.... The bike.

Actually, it's done me well, just sick of it :P

[wickle]

cause its going to cost me money( sounds like it dropped a valve today)

[Gman71]

the fact it's sitting in the garage while it pisses down outside.

[madmal64]

I HATE my side stand. :angry2: Its the most useless, badly designed piece of crap after thought that anyone has ever put on a motorcycle. If I owned the company that made my bike I would find the person the designed this stand and the idiot team that thought that would work and fire their sorry butts:bash:. Its a joke of a stand. Nearly lost my bike off the stand 3 times this weekend.
Apart from that its a bloody great machine.

Sorry to hijack..
I have the same bike, i found it easier to shift up to second and bring it back down the neutral, lot easier that way. And i know what u mean with the second, thats y every 1-2nd change i do, i do with "purpose" hahah not just a wee tap, but a big flick..

hope that helps haha.



Now what i dont like about my bike... can cruise at 110-120, but nothing faster, and cant overtake anyone on long straights.. bastards just speed up when theres a passing lane..

[cowboyz]

ummmmmmmmmmm.. nothing. I can not think of a single thing I dont like abou tmy bike! Damn!

[proseuche]

Nothing, for a 250 my bike's the business.

But in general, I am impatient for something with more way more guts. It ruined me to ride a 1000 vtr sp3, jumping back on the 250 will never be the same :(

At the last track day slight was on the new vtr 250 and wasted all the 1000s around the corners, got caught up on on the straights, then wasted them again. awesome.

[Hopeful Bastard]

I hate the fact it doesnt have a Helmet lock on it.. Or any storage.. And i have now found out its a tad too small for me now.. Must've grown?? NAH! I'm a short bastard as it is..

Hrm.. What else dont i like bout it??

[JR1]

i hate the fact mine doesnt feel safe over 150.. :(

[Hiflyer]

i hate the fact mine doesnt feel safe over 150 on a closed track or public road.. :(

I fixed it for ya ;)

[JR1]

I fixed it for ya ;)

Sadly i doubt it unles you replaced my skinny little tires or a new bike?? :D

[allycatz]

Its not a bike :crybaby:

[Hiflyer]

i hate the fact mine doesnt feel safe over 150 on a closed tarck or private road.. :(


I fixed it for ya ;)

I mean I fixed what you said lol

[JR1]

I mean I fixed what you said lol

i should really wear my glasses..

[slofox]

The bloody odometer has got up way too high!

[brockzila]

The after market rearsets are to high, shocks stuffed. apart from that its good. oh and the fact itsa still in sydney even though i left there on Xmas day!!!!!!!

[.produKt]

No power.
Cheap tyres.
Top speed of 80kph.
And no 5th gear.

That's about it I guess...

Old post but.... That's SO a Sach's Madass 125 :P

And my hates. Well from Dunedin to chch it was very comfortable for a sportsbike. But I still haven't found the sweet spot on those Michelin pilots :( )
With feet on the pegs at speed theres a nudge/knock coming thru from something on the rear wheel or near it.
Hmm:shifty:

[hayd3n]

somthing about the front i dont quite like

[chester]

hate the steering lock, love the triple sound tho.........

hmmmmm, I've been thinking about this and I'd have to say the 'L' Plate (not the bikes fault) and the fact it's not a 600, other than that she's a beaut first timer.

You can change the speedo to read in km/h. You can't change the temp guage to read in dgrees celcius, though.
Your bike will be US spec
