Thanks Mr Brown, it just threw me when it was mentioned there was no electrical connection on the pair valve assembly, I thought I had imagined it :D. I have blanked the holes and plugged the air box ,so all done.

Hi Berlin Germany, on my 04 gen 1 the pair valve does have an electrical part to it( as in picture above) ,I think these were added on the 02 -07 models hence the question regarding the socket that this plugs into, there are firms that sell the "eliminator " but are a bit pricey at £24 if they...

Happy New Year to all in Busa land:D Just a quick question on the pair removal on a gen 1 ,is it necessary to plug in a pair system eliminator type device into the redundant electrical socket when you have removed the pair system, I know you will get a F1 fault but I am not using the original...

A few pics of battered Busa. Drained the coolant and refilled ,added a makeshift expansion tank, refitted the wires to the temperature sensor on the rad, pleased to say all seems well no leaks and fan kicked in at about ha;lfway on the temp gauge.

Thanks for the welcome fellows , will get some pictures posted up this weekend .I n the process of making sure the coolant system is working fine at the moment because the expansion tank was missing and the fan sensor was not connected !

Hi, from the UK at last I have a Busa, allways wanted to streetfighter one so now have a battered and bruised gen 1 to play with. No doubt I will have many questions for you in the coming months :D
