Thanks man I appreciate the kind words. I'm turning 50 in a few weeks!!!

It's a pain in the ass, avoid it like it's the plague...

The K&N's are reusable, you wash/dry and oil them. How often really depends. I live in a dry climate, not much dust and I avoid the rain like I'm allergic to water. Plus I have multiple bikes so I don't put a ton of miles on anyone one bike. I clean my air filter once a year. If I put all my miles on one bike, I would probably do it every 6 months or so or if I rode in the rain/dust more often I would clean the air filter more often.

your welcome

@@user-pz1qt6eb9t yes

No I use it on my bike. Pretty much everywhere. Where I have seen discoloration from Superclean is on unpainted aluminum surfaces. My old GSXR 600 from the late 90;'s has an unpainted aluminum frame and swingarm. I did experience some discoloration on the unpainted aluminum. All that said, I think its strength is as a degreaser.

Thanks for the tip!!! I bet that would work on my ZX10 to!

@javierguizar8553 there is a switch on the brake lever, you should a couple of wires coming off the lever underneath that switch is what triggers the brake light they are all pretty much the same generally there is no adjustment for it

@@MonkeyButtRides thank you sr

Good tip!

Yup, I've even consider a tad taller gearing just for those moments when I need to crunch some miles on my trips but stock gearing for me is pretty dang good.

I have a full service manual for the bike, not sure if I had it at the time of this video or not but I have one now!

I just google street viewed....we rode right past it!!!! I'm so clueless sometimes!! 🤣😂

Cruise control is the key. I've also road tripped on a HD Street Glide once and I was still very thankful for cruise control, it's a different fatigue then a sportbike but you still get tired. Cruise is a must for me regardless of the bike genre.

@@MonkeyButtRides thx. I am cross shopping two very diff bikes. Busa vs low rider st. Amazingly the Busa is cheaper!!!!

Those are very different for sure. HD = $$$, like Ducati, there is a brand tax you pay for all things. Have you checked out Indian motorcycles at all?

🤣😂

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

All the dust I saw on the clean side of the air box turned me off. I also was shocked that they don't recommend washing or oiling their filter I get how convenient it is to not have to wait for the filter to dry and then oil it but man the oil is a big part of how that fine dust get's trapped. Anyway, I will do a comparison between my ZX10 (running a KN) and the busa this fall when I service the air filters again. For me, right now, the sprint is a good race filter but I have my doubts in regards a real street bike.

Thanks 👍

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

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.

Thank you so much 😀

Oh, cool, I follow a few youtubers over in the UK! Hope to visit one year with one of my sons

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

👍

😊 Thanks man, I appreciate it!

No, I should the Busa Kickstands are known for folding up to easy.

108 is awesome for sure.

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...

@@MotoNodoz totally did lol

You come to the US and I'll go to New Zealand!!

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 😂

@napz999 the power series is better dry performance

@@MonkeyButtRides aha .. Ok brother thank you..👍

Forgot to add, nice vid!

lol - Thanks 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..

Highway 4 looks awesome. Something to look forward to next time. I think I will focus on northern Cali when I return.

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 😂👍👍

@@daviddalessio7162 I was low on brain cells that day...

@raphaelpolino2520 you can but IMO it sucks, depends for how long to

@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

u and me both

it's a programmability/functionality trade off.

@@MonkeyButtRides basically we are trading off skill for a wider target audience

@@markespich8574 well thank you sir

It's a good bike!

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 monkeybuttrides@outlook.com

​@@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.
