  • Where am I?
I have an 02 busa.  I've been riding and racing motorcycle/atvs for 15 years. I notice on the hayabusa i have a tendency to ride the rear brake if im going down the highyway etc,not on purpose,just where my foot sits i guess it hits the rear brake lever.. Does anyone else have this problem? If so what did you do? Thanks  :shock:  :(

If you position your feet properly you shouldn't be anywhere near the brake. You should have the balls of your feet on the pegs not your heel.
