    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Can anyone lend me a hand.. Abuddy of mine laid down his gsx1300r hyabusa the other day and is in need of quite a bit of parts... If you have answers we are listening... thanks
 
Thats funny. Ebay and there are some discount dealers through mail order. Look in the back of cycle world and motorcyclist.
And by the way, how did he lay it down and what speed?
 
not too funny.. messed him up good... doin stupid stuff ... went to pull a first gear wheelie he got about a foot off the ground and the rear tire spun... he rested it back down let the suspension settle then cracked it wide open .. It got to the 11 oclock position and the rear smoked again.. instead of letting of he tried to ride it out and crack open the throttle.. well this time the bike grabbed jumped the bike sideways he compensated and it shot the other way throwing hime in to a curb and launching the bile down the lot 50 + feet on its side sparks a flying...Now I would say he didnt know what he was doin but he does... he had been doing them all day (even @ 135) but it was just one too many..... :!: :evil: :evil: :x

Moral: Dont do hard or any throttle wheelis on a bald rear!!!!!
 
First, let me preface this with saying that I hate to see anyone get hurt, no matter how it happens. Some people just BEG for it, though!

Ahhhhh... To be young and STUPID again (as opposed to old and dumb, as I am now) :)

I would say that he doesn't know what he's doing, regardless of what he's done previously. With a track record like that, he's WAY overdue for what happened. You have to RESPECT whatever you ride. A 'Busa will bite ya' in a heartbeat when you start to think you are invulnerable.

As far as replacement parts and panels, try eBay, salvage dealers (perhaps), or a Suzuki dealer.
 
hes not as young and in experienced as one might think..He is in his mid 30s and been dragging bikes since his early teens.. Now I am not saying that what he was doing was the brightest but sometimes even the unexpected steps out and bites ya in the tuckus.. I hope that everyone here is on there toes and drives safe Ihate to hear fellow riders fallen exploits.. drive safe

we have all done silly things . Somtimes you get lucky and nothing happens, other times your luck runs out. If you want to play you have to pay! And I have payed $$$
 
Ron Ayers is your best bet especially for body parts unless you located something on ebay. How bad is the bike?? I have extensive experience with hayabusa`s...I`ve owned three and highly modified all of them. Be glad to tell ya what you need if I can. Chris
