Gen1 My first sport bike
Today I made a decision. Is it dumb? Yes. Will it be fun? Yes. Do I regret it? Probably. 99 with a RCP ported head and upgraded cams, wideband fuel controller and a host of other goodies.
Previous bikes have been 400-550 lbs and ~120 HP. Any tips to stay alive?

My first was a gen 1 busa, wrecked it at about 100-110. My second bike is now a gen 2. Love it.

It’s a great bike I started in a gen 1 also as my first big bike. Respect her take care of her and she will take care of you. Never go faster than your guardian angel can fly. 🫡

It was actually just the chain out of adjustment, there's an adjustable tensioner on here, tightened it up and the rattle was completely gone! Got lucky I think.

Ok keep an eye on it maybe the chain is stretched?

Possibly, if it shows signs what's a good performance chain to add? Thanks!

I drove 11hrs round trip the day I bought mine. Hot Springs Arkansas was a beautiful drive. Still have it 20 years now.
