Title: Hayabusa Track bike - from Australia
Post by: Pan on March 15, 2011, 04:18:25 AM: G'day!

I've been a member here for many years, but haven't logged on for a while. Thought I'd let you all know that I've gone from bling bling boy to ultra-light track day freak :tu:

This is what I've created...

What does she weigh in at?

Post by: MREDDIEB on March 15, 2011, 08:06:44 PM: That is nice, thought it was an 08 at first :thumb:
Title: Re: Hayabusa Track bike - from Australia
Post by: Pan on March 15, 2011, 08:26:38 PM: Haven't had it weigh yet. Will do after the carbon fairings go on...

Looks like an 08, but it's definitely a 99 :thumb:

Funny you should say that Cookie, because I get approached by plenty of people at the circuits that say:

(a) the Hayabusa is for touring. What are you doing with it on the track?
(b) the Hayabusa is for drag racing. What are you doing with it on the track?

I usually look for those particular people on the track and enjoy passing them around the outside of corners with my knee scrapping past their fairings... :mrgreen:

Talk about the geometry on that GenII? Or yours?

Gen 2 ride height is stock, front and back
Gen1 (mine) ride height is stock in the back, and front is lower, but can't tell you by how much lower than stock as it's a GSXR1000 front end
Title: Re: Hayabusa Track bike - from Australia
Post by: Yngve on April 06, 2011, 01:57:31 PM: I use my Hayabusa at the track all the time and the first thing you should do is to raise it in the back. I have also used GSXR1000 front forks but they are to soft ( not hard enough spring ) but the latest 09 arent bad.

The Hayabusa decks out quite easily too :(

Yes they do.. Note my fairings. Have one on the other side too...

Mine was raised 1 1/4" rear and lowered 3/8" front with 1 Kilo RaceTech springs and Gold Valves. Made a HUGE difference.

Just the front fender and some stickers to go... (though I'm sure I'll find something else to do to it in the future)

Bits? All over the world... depends which bits you mean.

Superhero? Slow your roll? WTF?
You do a good load of mind-reading, don't you... Keep practicing... you might get it right eventually :ab:

Laughing at his demise? We (he and I) laugh now because he survived uninjured, still rides, and laughs...
Keep doing what you're doing. I pray you don't become another statistic...

It sounded to me like you were laughing at your friend for spilling on the street. Good that you two can laugh together.

I guess it's kinda like a 1000, with 300cc extra! :thumb:

Finally got the matching carbon/kevlar front guard... weighs 400gms less than the plastic one!

I started riding my road bike. It had not been on the track, so I thought I'd give it a run for 2 sessions...

What do you think? Is that:

(a) too much
(b) enough
(c) not enough
(d) I want to see a "shopping list down the side"

Post by: glenn71 on March 26, 2012, 03:15:04 AM: ceramic rotors are 1.2kg for the pair?? :D

maybe you could fit an adjustable offset front end for better steering weight tuneability
perhaps the frame could be machined where the swingarm mounts to alter swingarm pivot angle with adjustable eccentric pivots like the gixxers have.If its a pure track bike,no need to be conservative,slice and dice it to get it how you want.i found with really light rims and tyres alot of the steering weight vanished, but so did alot of the confidence that gyroscopic force supplies,That was an expensive lesson,till i played with the trail settings.It taught me alot about how the busa was designed to feel happy to ride at certain speed ranges with confidence,and when you start dramatically altering the dynamics,its not always a win win scenario.Good luck

Title: Re: Hayabusa Track bike - from New Zealand
Post by: aquahort on October 06, 2014, 04:28:51 AM: Ive been using my 07 Hayabusa for trackdays for 5 years, and every one is amazed, and the fact Im now 65 years old, they put me in with the advanced groups. Trick with making Bus perform on track is put in the shorten links (10mm shorter) at rear, which raises rear by 34mm and that just transforms how it goes around corners, much better.
Add 2 separate braided brake hoses, and run Motal 600 brake oil. ( Ive gone to a complete race Italian mastercyclinder now )
Front forks completely built with different valves and uprated springs ( I think 10kg more?) Steering damper I drained and refilled with slightly higher viscosity oil ( Front fork oil ) for landspeed trials ( 309.4kph recorded ) Engine now tuned with T Tune, Quickshifter, 4 x short velocity stacks, Micron racing extractors into single micron muffler.
The PAIR VALVE emission controls/pump all removed, Airbox modification done and K&N airfilter fitted.
Rear hub cushions of Nolathane. Bike now outperforms G2 Hayabusa. Dragracing Im at 10.4sec/138mph I need better technic to get into 9s. So have bought MSD Launch control to help to this. Hopefully I can include some pictures, but just right now attachment options not working ? Regards John from Auckland, New Zealand.
