    Gen 2 horsepower mods and tuning questions

    Let's get back to how much YOU weigh. Likely there's a few kilos to be saved there without spending loadsamoney on titanium this and carbon fibre that.... I lost 6.5 kilos and my quarter mile times came down just over a quarter second......just sayin'

    Whats the best mod you have done to your busa?

    Brembo RCS19 front brake master cylinder.

    200 hp not really that hard to do ;)

    Biggest and cheapest weight loss is when the rider eats less burgers.

    Black Widow 4-1 full system. Pics.

    The big thing is the exhaust now has no catalytic converter so the back pressure is greatly reduced and the motor will run too lean. You really should get the fuelling optimised to the exhaust. It will run so much smoother and the hole you've put in the mid-range power with the decatted system...

    Best year for gen2 / with or without ABS ?

    Trouble is the Suzuki ABS fitted to the later Busas was 19th century technology. Not a patch on the ABS from other manufacturers.

    rear sprocket change ???

    Why on earth are you riding with the chain worn that much? New chain and sprockets so much cheaper than new engine cases or your hospital bill if it throws you off when it lets go....

    Minimum Wheelbase, Tire Size, Raising Links, Gearing and Chain Length

    Only viable option would be two busas, one for twisties and one for lsr.

    Rear shock

    I like a good extension but that looks so flimsy...

    2012 brembo?

    The Brembo calipers from the later years will give slightly better performance, with decent pads fitted that is. Braided lines will also give a slight improvement. But the best upgrade is the Brembo RCS19 master cylinder. Just be thankful you don't have the old 6 pot calipers that only work with...

    Can't seem to be able to use this link. Is there another source for ABS model workshop manual?

    200 Size Tire

    200 width will fit, though like Tony and a lot of other B-King riders I changed from a 200 tyre to 190/55 which makes that barge a lot better on the road. Similarly I changed my Busa to 190/55 which works well for me. I personally feel the handling of the Busa would be worse with slower turn in...

    Tire Pressures - what is your preference?

    I ride fairly hard and mileage is only a minor concern, I want the best grip/feedback/confidence from my tyres (yes tyres, I'm English - we don't have tires!). Firstly, 190/55 is IMHO the best size for a rear tyre and I run 36 front and 32 rear cold pressures.

    Stainless/Braided brake lines for 2013/4 ABS Bikes?

    Look at the full five line set by "Core" HAYABUSA (2013) ABS I'm in Engerland and been trying to get a UK producer (HEL) to come up trumps - they want me to take my lines off and send to them to use as a pattern, so I may well import from Core in the US.....

    What is the max HP on B-King?

    And how long is a piece of string? A stock B-King should make 160-165 rear wheel bhp. A freer flowing exhaust when the fuelling is sorted will give 5-10 more ponies and modding the airbox with larger bore intakes sucking in cooler air will get you another 5 ponies. Mine made 165bhp stock and...
