As mentioned this is normal, due to the design of the gearbox. The gears all have 'dogs' on which engage with each other as you shift gear. This all...
The ratios are the same in the even in the updated engine - standard Hayabusa. That sounds to me like it is jumping out of gear under high load whic...
I forgot to mention the dry cranking, that certainly wont help. As you say I wouldnt say it is needed unless the car has sat for a while. Unplugging t...
@pugdaddy Ideally yes but have a measure up and see if you can confirm which part is worn the most!

Interesting that Motul are discontinuing the 15W-50, not something I was aware of. @rjbender interesting info reference our conversation, might explai...

@smoothcriminal Not good to see! Do you have any history on the engine, like when it was rebuilt? Who buy? Did it have a seal on it? There does...

Early Busa's (99-01) didn't have these washers fitted as standard but everything else did. Radical leave them in everything and fit them to engines wi...
@meatman Your clutch slave cylinder mounts through those bolt holes. Noted that there is no output shaft seal there (plus spacer)? It gets clampe...
Not ideal Clark! Sounds to me like either the sump fitting was not tight enough or the oil pipe was last done up cross threaded. If it was me I wo...
@meatman From what I can see in those pictures all 3 of them visually look ok.
