Service Bulletin - Hayabusa/B King

[lika1]

Well I brought mine back to the dealership after seeing this post because I thought mine fell within the vin# range. Apparently it didn't; if you look at the TSB under Specifications, there's E-03 and E-33. Well I found out that the E-33 which I thought mine fell within is actually the California model and E-03 is for everyone else and mine is beyond that range.

yup, i have the same noise! my bike is at 3200 miles and running strong so far.

[Busacure]

Is a new gasket (a must) for this repair or is this gasket re-usable. I have under 600 miles on the bike

[crackerhead25]

Folks called the local dealership here and he set up the appointment for this past Friday after I gave him my VIN the phone. Didn't get a chance to ride until today though but I can say it's a lot quieter now and I had mind done at 520 miles. Believe it or not the dealership I got the bike from keep tellin me that it wasn't for 09 Busa only the 08 model. Which actually made me want to just slap the hell out of him for even looking me in my face with that BS. Glad Suzuki did put this out in the end it's worth the time even if for a DIY job. So I must say thanks to the Org and my boy Wat1000 for the info on it cause hell would of never known about this at all.

Cleaned all threads with contact cleaner including the threads in the hub. Used 1303 on stud threads, one drop of blue locktight on spring retainer bolts. Torque and reassemble and you are set to go!

My bolts were OK but now I have peace of mind knowing the TSB has been done.

Hey you are thread locking both the shoulder bolt (spring retainer bolt) and then actual bolt. The TSB is claiming which of the two were backing out?? TIA

TSB calls for thread locker on the stud. I just used one drop of blue ( low strength) on the spring retainer bolt ( small bolt) as extra insurance. It's the stud that will back out. The stud needs the high strength thread locker.

Crap...I hear this ticking all of the time until the bike warms up and I can rev it a few times...my one year warranty was up in August....bastages!!! I wonder how much this will cost me?

[racerV]

I just had my recall done at Destination Powersports near Springfield, MO. It cost me 1/2 hour of drive time and 1.5 hours of walking around their showroom. It is a RECALL so it should cost you nothing.
