04 Busa clutch slipping?

I’m just starting to notice this today but my bike is putting no power to the rear wheel. like i’ll hear it rev up and at first i assumed it was spinning due to the cold but i quickly found out that was not the case. i’m thinking it’s the clutch but i want to be completely sure. open to any idea thank you. bike has 10k miles but i do occasionally beat on the bike pretty hard if i get an open stretch of highway

Hayabusa keeps cutting off during ride.

I have a 2023 Hayabusa. While I'm riding, sometimes the bike's LCD screen will flicker, the headlight dims, most of the indicator lights will be lit, throttle is less responsive and the fan constantly changes speed until eventually it stalls or shuts down. Does anyone know what the issue could be? It also says "F1 HILL!" on the screen when it shuts down.

Insurance?

Hi everyone,

I've been looking at getting a Hayabusa for a long time now, and have owned other bikes like an S1000RR with no issues, so I wasn't really prepared for the insurance quote I got for a new 2024 Busa. $10 a month on liability or a whopping $5k a year for full coverage on Progressive?? Mid 30s, homeowner, clean record. I know they have a reputation but that's more than double what they want for a Ducati Diavel V4 which costs $10k more than the busa.

How do people manage to own these? Just liability only all the way? Appreciate any tips or suggestions.

Thanks!

The little tabs/pegs on the tail?

I've wondered for a while what the little pegs on the tail of the Hayabusa are for. For clarification, I'm not talking about the passenger pegs. Higher up right under the rear seat are those two little pegs, or spindles? Who knows what they're for?

What about this "2nd gen" Hayabusa?

This bike is being advertised as a 2007/2008 GSX 1300-R Hayabusa. I looked up the Internet and found that this rear/tailgate light looks like a first gen Hayabusa. Is this correct? What should I do to buy a new one or at least try to recover its original color? (Looks too yellow, I think)

Also, what do you guys think about this bike judging from the pictures and knowing it has 24,000 miles?

**UPDATE: The bike really is a 2007/2008 from its documentation.

Best ways to adjust height

So I have a gen 2 hayabusa and I just want to get to where I'm flat footing completely. I don't want to go crazy with mods because I love the stock wheel base. I've heard some suggestions on upholstery and trimming the seat, doing lowering kits, stretching. But I've also heard something about just changing the suspension. Any and all recommendations would be enjoyed. She ironically is my putt putt bike. I don't drive fast unless I'm on the highway, besides that it's chill
