1ST gear problems

[clintr79]

Just wondering if any body heard of this problem and knows what is wrong In first gear and first gear only the bike jerks off and on if you are on the trottle but if you take it easy itsfine all other gears are fine

This is normal for a Busa... Its suppose to make the power more user friendly! Some swear a TRE will eliminate this condition others believe it will make the bike perform even worse. The condition your describing is by design..

I'm one of the guys who'll say it'll eliminate it.

It is not from the tre i tried it with and with out it is a noise coming from the tranny i have been told it might be first gear missing a couple teeth it slips and grips with a noise

How old and lose is your chain?

[PaceMaster]

Trust me on this..... The noise you hear is coming from the clutch..yes it was by design.. the problem can be removed with a differnt innermost clutch plate....... and bellville spring
Go to your dealer and find a pc pic that uses two pieces for the mentioned inner most clutch friction disc.. I orderd mine from an after market hopup shop and when the parts came they were OEM Suzuki parts.. clutch cover gasket and two other pieces and cheap too.....

Is the noise coming from the left or right side ?

[clintr79]

I would have to say the left side the bike only has 3000 miles and it is fine in all other gear at any rpm i had it at the dyno drags and after that it started on the way home

[Gunnybusa]

Id start by checking the chain and then go on from there

[clintr79]

Why would it be the chain if it is only in first gear all other gears are fine

[Gunnybusa]

you wold notice it more in first due to the troque that first gives you. Just check the play and strech.

Just got done checking the chain it was loose i tightened it and took it for a ride same problem you don't even have give it that much throttle to have it do it one quarter to half and it does it
