so are you happy with the filtering performance ??????
I'm going to go back to a K&N this fall when I service the air filter again.
@@MonkeyButtRides what didn't you like
Very good Explained step by step.... Great..!!! I am dealer of K&n air filters in INDIA.
Thanks 👍
6:02 look how clean that looks on the vel stack side, you can eat off it. I dont think it was as clean when you serviced the sprint. Just saying.
I agree. I think I'm going to switch to a K&N which is what I run on my other bikes.
@@MonkeyButtRides i sent you a reply on ig. For some reason yt wasnt letting me post it here
@@MonkeyButtRides i replied via gram
@MonkeyButtRides i replied via ig
Do you pick motels that you can bring the bike inside on purpose or does it just work out that way? And a road trip on s1000rr is insane
Great question! Most of the time it's planned. I have learned there is a bunch of really crappy Motels out there. I've learned to take my time and make sure I find something decent but sometimes the Busa or my ZX10 has to stay outside but it's rare. That was quite the road trip for my son and he bought an ADV bike shortly there after....LMAO!!
@@MonkeyButtRides Thanks for replying! I sold my 2013 Monster Evo before Covid Lockdowns and am taking time picking my next bike. Pretty sure it will be the Gen 3 Busa. Living vicariously through you. Didn't know Peter was your son, you look young. Btw - I left a comment on your sprint filter maintenance video, with 4 videos pertaining to aftermarket Filters. I saw you had a tune and full M4 exhaust. Check out MWR HE (High Efficiency) air filter. SKU MC-070-21-HE. Foam is supposed to be much better blocking dirt and particles vs what K&N, Sprint etc use. Foam was used by OEM like Kawasaki and Suzuki in past but they stopped due to cost and moved to paper. MWR uses Foam.
Perfectly said M But 👍😊
Thank you so much 😀
M but great stuff from th UK 👍😊
Oh, cool, I follow a few youtubers over in the UK! Hope to visit one year with one of my sons
My friends harley did that.. Worn seals.
I didn't know there were seals in the bottom of the forks, I mean not in the knuckle where your axle goes anyway. Man I got to go do some research...LOL
Too
👍
I about spit out my coffee when you said your nickname for the BMW 😆 Good content love your channel
😊 Thanks man, I appreciate it!
U done anything to your kick stand?
No, I should the Busa Kickstands are known for folding up to easy.
🙂👍🙋♂️🇧🇻
WOWZERS... from desert to snow capped mountain roads with all the twiddles to play bikes on along 108 AWESOME! Shame you had to detour though.
108 is awesome for sure.
That sucks that they didn't have a place you could offload your luggage before self parking. Man, all them tourists... I'd be out of there if I was going the other way in the Grand Canyon too! 😀
On the way back to Colorado we stopped in Vegas again. I got a little more efficient with the luggage situation but it's still a god damn hike from the self park...
bro turned into cookie monster for a second there 2:00
@@MotoNodoz totally did lol
Next time I come to the U.S, I am doing a bike tour. That looked like alot of fun.
You come to the US and I'll go to New Zealand!!
That wiggle looking road at Oasis looked tasty af. I need to do another bike trip asap. It's calling to my soul. The landscapes over your way are so dramatic, it's amazing. Copper top even looks like somewhere I'd want to stop, just visually. Really beautiful terrain man. Let's plan something for 2025 if you'd want to, I'll rent the ZX10 off ya and we can do a trip :D
Totally down for a 2025 road trip. "I'll rent"??? You mean "I'll ride the ZX10" Where would you want to go? Shit tons of riding right here in CO!!! Could do like a 3 day tour of mountains passes here in CO.
@@MonkeyButtRides that'd work for me! I saw rent cus I have to contribute to upkeep amigo, I know how expensive that shit is 😂
Is there Michelin Road 6 200/55 ? And way didn’t choose it especially that it has higher Mileage? Thank you.
@napz999 the power series is better dry performance
@@MonkeyButtRides aha .. Ok brother thank you..👍
Man I miss the wide open spaces out west. Next summer baby!
Forgot to add, nice vid!
lol - Thanks man!
The Cali mountain passes looked like fun man.
Cali is just amazing to ride. I'll go back again one year and ride the northern part of Cali, Lake Tahoe, Napa Valley, etc..
Yeah, Leaving Las Vegas and heading into Cali in any direction is super boring. Man, you were rollin'! riding 395b is a fantastic ride. And you know we LOVE Sonora Pass. We just completed an overnight trip over Sonora Pass. Then we came back over a different pass. (Ebbetts Pass Hwy 4) going home. Wish we could have met up with you. Great video, waiting for the next episode.
Highway 4 looks awesome. Something to look forward to next time. I think I will focus on northern Cali when I return.
Buy a couple cheap tote bags to off load your stuff for your hotel stay.... and shoulder straps for the duffle ... I use Kriega bags for my Hayabusa , they come with the straps, ( a 30 liter top bag on the seat and 2- 20 liter bags one on each side that hang off the 30 ) they sell a mounting strap for the Suzuki. You have to run the seat though.... Pricey but worth it.... nice trip!
Thanks man! Solid tips! You are going to laugh at this....on the way back we stayed in Vegas again and I spawned a brain cell and remembered my Givi tail bag came with a shoulder strap...OMG that helped SO MUCH!
@@MonkeyButtRides 😂👍👍
I probably would have just made a trip to the hardware store and got different screws
@@daviddalessio7162 I was low on brain cells that day...
What If I only have a Backpack? No Tail Bag No Tank Bag No saddle bag. Can I just wear it???
@raphaelpolino2520 you can but IMO it sucks, depends for how long to
Did anyone else struggle with the rubber grommet in the middle of the inside of the fairing? I can't get mine back into the metal bracket
@timmothyames3296 try using WD40 or a bit of grease, you can also heat it a bit to make the rubber a bit more flexible hope that helps
Help
u and me both
I don't see how ride by wire will ever rival the direct and precise response that cable throttle has.
it's a programmability/functionality trade off.
@@MonkeyButtRides basically we are trading off skill for a wider target audience
You handled that problem like a true mechanic. Well done sir!
@@markespich8574 well thank you sir
It rides itself, I love the bike.
It's a good bike!
I appreciate this review. Answered all my questions. Very realistic perspective. I'd like to see a follow-up video, of you haven't done one already.
I made this video a couple of years ago. I still have the bike and seat and I'm still happy with the product. Feel free to ask me anything you might be interested in. My email is [email protected]
@@MonkeyButtRides Thanks for the response. I'm looking to get the seat for improved grip, so I can avoid getting tank grip pads. Do the side grip sections actually work? Also, I've read that gel seats get hotter than foam. Have you noticed this?
I wouldn't look to the side grip sections for improved grip. You are still going to want to grip with your legs against the tank for the most part. I never noticed hotter temps with the seat and I've ridden through some nasty hot days on my ZX10.
@@MonkeyButtRides Thanks, man. That's what I figured. While I was riding, it didn't seem like my legs contacted that section of the seat much. I appreciate the feedback.
When we were there last year, we took a tour. You skip most of the ques and they know all the good spots. Not only that, you can just be a tourist and let someone else drive. It is a beautiful spot though.
A tour seems like the way to go!!! Did you do a Helicopter ride to or was that part of the tour? They had like 6 choppers I think it was too windy to fly the day I was there.
I trust you maybe. Those were cute dogs, I'd have fed them to be fair. Ger damn that's purdy. Gotta rob people at every turn yano, want to see a view? Pay money pls. If the money is to maintain a thing primarily, I'm good with it. People are mega silly gooses, and they do indeed suck. That is a disgusting amount of traffic. I'll look at photos instead :D I'd have filtered or turned around also if I hit that. That's a bit rude, treating bikes not as important as cars, and bikes are way better. Oh yeah nah that'd be a pain :D I'm jealous.
TBF the village area did have a lot going on, maybe if you camp'd and stayed a day or 2 and did all the things (hellicopter tour) it might be worth it but I didn't even see any good places to eat, that is a hard no for me. Vegas on the other hand, every direction you walk in has top notch restaurants. I forgot to include where we ate that night in the video. One problem with editing vids, weeks later...
I rented a Ducati to ride around while in Vegas last year in June. Screw that. The road, air, and bike was just too damn hot to enjoy the riding. Love the video 🤙
ooooff...yeah Ducati's run so damn hot...I can't imagine...thanks man!
The casual rev-bomb 🤗
That white car that pulled out...well, just glad I was looking ahead and they gave some room but why not just wait 30 seconds more.....smh
Yeah, the Grand Canyon is a must-see...but only one time lol. It's impressive for about 10 minutes then it's just okay.
Exactly! Maybe one day in the future I will try to check out the north rim but I ain't in no hurry.
It's just a ditch 🤷🏽♂️ cool looking ditch but just a ditch
I am following this trip how is your thousand mile butt feeling 😮
Thanks to Busa, it's all good!!
People suck. Yep. Not all people, just the general public. We are awesome.
Truth! 😁
@@MonkeyButtRides Duff man says, "Oh Yeah!".
The North Rim is killer. The South is good to say you did it. The West is where the Sky Walk is.
Dope video.. can't wait to see day 3
Thanks😁
Looks like fun. 👍👍 I liked the Grand Canyon and got in an argument with an Indian woman because I accused her of selling Chinese junk jewelry…hahaha
Yeah, probably some of that fake stuff rolling around for sure.
Bro just relax your arms and that wont happen, use the legs and the body to move the bike, hands are there just for give gas, and brake.
Good tip, that is exactly what I do to avoid arm pump in motocross. Thanks.
No gloves is crazy even if its hot outbut nice bike
thx
I wonder does the damper need to be rebuilt?
Possibly, the amber light on the dash is for the ESD. It's been coming on a lot lately.
@@MonkeyButtRides ahhhhh. Could be out of juice. Not sure what the electronics actually do on that one tho so could also be electrical maybe. Im not helping 😂
@TheGorillaBiker 🤣😂 you are always helpful, it's 8 years old a rebuild or upgrade couldn't hurt for sure
@@MonkeyButtRides I shall be following ofc to see what you come up with :)
Hey monkey. Let me know if it’s wheel/steering bearings. I’m keeping an eye out for my 2011 ZX10R.
My dampener light has been coming on lately, which is what the amber/orange light is on the right side of my dash. I may have an electrical issue.
How is it compared to stock? Does it keeps the airbox clean?
Here is a more recent vid where I cleaned it for the first time. I felt like maybe it was a bit to dusty on the clean side of the airbox but IDK. Hard to say really. I'm tempted to pull the airbox cover on my ZX10 which runs a K&N just to compare. kzread.info/dash/bejne/iJ6Lz8SFf6zMdKQ.html
Nothing better than a motorcycle road trip. Nice vid man! Like the music too
I actually used copyright free music that time. I think, mostly at least. LOL Thanks.
@@MonkeyButtRides yeah, it sounded that way. I was thinking that sounds good for free music 😂
Retarded drivers everywhere 4:15
What is your height sir???😅😅
6ft and shrinking
@@MonkeyButtRides shrinking 💀🤣🤣 , Thank you sir 🙌
You guys did a excellent job from start to finish! Please keep making videos great job fellas!!
Thanks! Appreciate the positive feedback!!!
These beautiful riding roads brotha Busa ✈️ travel 🚀🔥👌🇺🇸
That was a good necessary serve....
