Wow. At least you got him to change it. Are the red filters OEM? The Gen2 I just bought has what appears to be a brand new filter that is that color red. I prefer OEM to any aftermarket filter for a street bike so it would be good to know mine is OEM.

You could get by with one of the lower cost Maxx ECU's. The Mini would work, but I'd want the Street so that you get wideband closed-loop functionality. You would have a few extra things to buy like a coil driver and maybe some sensors, but you would have more capability with the Maxx than...

I would just look for a good used complete tranmission. There are several Haybusa groups on FB that have them on occasion. If you want to just buy parts for yours, check here for part numbers, then search the web for prices...

I have been looking for another stock-ish Gen2 to replace my Frankenstein Gen1 Busa. I was about to pull the trigger on another bike, then saw this one at the last minute. It is (was) like it came out of a time capsule. It's got 6400 miles, and was set up with all the good parts from 2008...

Any of the pipes you mention will work fine. I doubt that you will see any significant difference between them. A stock motor with 60 shot isn't going to require the best of the best to run well.

I put a Gen2 tank on a Gen1. The Gen1 seat fits fine, but it has a replacement vinyl cover. I do not think that matters. Your plan for replacing the Gen1 regulator and pump looks like it should work fine. The Gen2 pump should produce about 43 psi (296 kpa).

From what I've seen of them in 50 hp dirt bikes I would expect problems using it in a drag situation with a 180 hp streetbike. I would probably just practice with a hand clutch.

Why not just run a hand slider like MTC Gen2 or Hays Revolution? They are proven in the drag application.

Maybe they quit, but I find they have things that aren't on their website. You might try calling them.

DME was doing extended stock arms a couple years ago.

The Revolution is basically a copy of the Rock but with improvements. I've had both.

It's more popular and I'm sure sells more. Please explain why you think it is the best. When I look at a datalog I can't tell if it is a Gen2 or a Revolution. I can tell when it is a slider.

The grudge has less steels/fibers and will fit under a shorter clutch cover, possibly under a stock cover. I've never seen one. The Revolution has removable caps to individually change the delay springs. I'm not aware that either would take less adjusting after it is set up. You would want...

Every Gen2 that I have pulled the stock exhaust bolts out of had at least two bolts bent like shown. Clearly Suzuki doesn't use very sophisticated torque monitoring during assembly of this joint. I keep a handful of these bolts on hand so I don't have to chase them when needed.

The no-preps I have run seem to work into a decent track as the day goes on. Having your chassis set up properly is a big deal. I've beaten guys with a lot more hp than me and lost to bikes with less.
