    08 Busa Mishap - Now Won't Start

    Received the new body parts today thanks to Justin. It will be nice to have the bike back to it's original condition.

    08 Busa Mishap - Now Won't Start

    Problem fixed! The poster who ended up being closest to the actual answer was... [insert drumroll here]... micbusathens. Reinstalled the starter solenoid, then reconnected both the battery cable and starter cable but not the relay coupler since the problem had to be with one of those four...

    08 Busa Mishap - Now Won't Start

    Well, it's not the starter relay... it passed both the activation and ohm tests... so it's time to do more troubleshooting. I'll start checking the four wires that connect to the relay coupler and report back. I have to remember to call the bike shop first thing Monday morning to cancel the...

    08 Busa Mishap - Now Won't Start

    Definitely a wierd failure. Had this been an accident while riding, I could understand, but just a fall from a standing position doesn't seem right. I didn't attempt to engage the relay itself... I probably should have but when I looked at the wiring diagram it seemed there wasn't much else it...

    08 Busa Mishap - Now Won't Start

    I connected the starter directly to the battery and it began to crank so the starter is good. Also, I just noticed that even though the Starter Button does not click, the manual says there should be a click from the Starter Relay when the starter button is pressed. Since I don't hear any...

    08 Busa Mishap - Now Won't Start

    Checked all the 10/15 amp fuses in the fuse box up front and the 30 amp main fuse next to the starter relay but none are blown. Searched the manual regarding the starter relay and found if the starter button is not effective the possible cause is a defective starter relay or starter interlock...

    08 Busa Mishap - Now Won't Start

    Thanks that narrows things down because I checked the tip-over sensor and it's fine. It's a pain to remove and reinstall but it's easier to disassemble than the Gen1 version and it's a completely different design... looks much less prone to failing. Plus, I tested it in the lay down position and...

    08 Busa Mishap - Now Won't Start

    The battery was disconnected all night but as I expected that didn't change anything. Per above, the Starter motor does not respond. When I press the Start button, the headlight does shut off so the Start button is doing something, but everything is silent at that point. I checked inside the...

    Wrong side. The bike fell on the other side... it was primarily due to the slope of the driveway. But I'll bypass that switch in case it bit the dust if I can't find anything wrong with the start button. Thanks.

    08 Busa Mishap - Now Won't Start

    Forgot to mention I already checked and it is in the correct position. But thanks for checking because it wouldn't have been the first time :banghead:

    08 Busa Mishap - Now Won't Start

    Not sure what you're getting at. The bike always started and ran fine. Since the fall, the problem is when I press the start button nothing happens... the starter doesn't turn. The right side bar end did hit the ground but it's only scraped on the end... don't see any damage to the housing which...

    08 Busa Mishap - Now Won't Start

    Not a good day. My baby fell over in the driveway, on the right side. Damage could have been worse... right side fairing took most of the impact. Anyway, now the bike won't start. When I turn the key to the On position, everything looks normal but when I try to start the bike, nothing... it...

    G2 Tamer Throttle Tube

    I installed the G2 about six weeks ago but only after riding the bike for at least a month with everything exactly the way it was last summer. I wanted to re-experience the throttle issues from last summer before I made any changes... sure enough... nothing changed... it sucked :banghead: I...

    G2 Tamer Throttle Tube

    If sixpack is right, then notright was not right. But if notright was wrong, then notright would still be not right. So either way notright is not right. Although at the moment, I sound like I'm not right either... but that can't be... can it? :rofl: Loose chain never ocurred to me but I...

    Size of Rostra Electronic Cruise Control Module

    I thought I posted this question already but can't seem to find it so sorry if this is a duplicate... Can anyone give me the dimensions of the control module (or whatever the part is that goes in the trunk) from the Rostra "Electronic" Cruise Control kit? I plan to do the trunk mod but...
