I took both my tires off from these videos. Always was scared to do stuff myself. I'm like hell no they tried to charge me 30 just to take off. Thanks homie
Nice video, I have found the Busa to be relatively simple to work on compared to other bikes I have (Ducati and Kawasaki) and your vids confirm my thinking in this regard. The front wheel is so simple, as per the tank (compared to the Kawasaki). Maybe this is where Suzuki have the edge on Kawasaki in terms of engineering. Just wish they would put a decent side stand on the Busa, they still come with the same old max lean, easy roll off, model that was on the original. What gives??? Thanks for the simple explanations. Cheers from Australia mate.
Nice bike, but the only thing I wouldn't do is let the calipers hang from the brake lines. It can add unwanted stress. I use a ziptie when working on my bike
Wow that's good to know Jack it up on the headers I thought it would be better to put a ratchet strap around the headlight Fairing and strap it to the rafters
Exactly same question here, Made me go downstairs and check it in garage - only possible place is have it sit on two exhaust pipes... which is something I wouldn't do. Between them is oil pan - hell no.
@@Ribar6 that is exactly what I did. I put a 2x4 wood on top of the jack and put it between those 2 exhaust pipes. Just up past the oil drain bolt. No dents and problems
I place the jack under the two middle headers and it balances good with my car jack, but I’d suggest having a actual motorcycle jack because it has a bigger surface area to rest you headers on. Make sure you shake your bike to make sure it’s stable before you jacked it up too high. Good luck
Where'd you get you bolts that you used to hold the bolt on the right side? I bought a 20mm socket today thinking that would work, now I see why you said custom.
You lost me when I saw 1 set of brakes on the front and then justified it by saying “it’s less rotational mass.” Incredibly stupid to take brakes off of a bike that’s capable of 150+ mph. Not even trying to be a keyboard warrior here.

Thanks for the video bro. Was able to do mine for the first time by myself

No problem!
nice video, thanks bro. just picked up my first busa, getting wheels powder coated and needed to know socket and key sizes!

Shot for every time you snap lol. Saw what I needed to see. If you could jack bike up with floor jack. Sweet.
I would like to see the pad on your jack and how you did that.
Thank you bruh i just got a 2008 Busa last week low miles and i was wondering about this.
No problem, glad my video helped!
thanks for the video, I'm about to do same thing. are your headers ok after jacking up underthem?
Wow that's good to know Jack it up on the headers I thought it would be better to put a ratchet strap around the headlight Fairing and strap it to the rafters
Use a set of ratchet straps on the grips to support the bike from the rafters.
I want to spray paint my rims red. Can I do that after taking tire off or do I need to sand it down??
That was very good video man beautiful bike to
Thanks!
Thanks for the video but it would've been even more helpful to see exactly where you put the jack under.

@@seahawksforever9504 well, thanks man, I will definitely try that next time.
Appreciate you bruh.
Is the jack under the header ?
Where did you jacked up the busa??? It look close to the drain plug.
I've been trying to find a location to use a hydraulic jack.
Thanks!

Home Depot, get a bolt that’s at least 2in long then get 2 nuts that will fit a (24) socket.
You're missing half your bikes front end, no fender, no brake disc, wtf
The fender was removed earlier to make the video shorter. I removed one brake and rotor. To eliminate some rotational weight lol
I was going to say a lot of drag racers get rid of their rear brakes entirely and one of their front rotors and front calipers as well
