hello to all. I'm new to the site and fairly new to my big bad black busa. I've spent quite a while checking this site (great site) and haven't found if anyone can suggest an aftermarket repair for the sprag gear starter problem with the 02' busa's. Found a company in the UK (bigccracing.com)that sells a nice looking kit to retrofit my bike. last night it started making a BAD grinding sound when I tried to start it. push started it and rode home. hoping, begging and groveling that someone will know if I can buy something like this in the states. here in Hillbillyville, Tx. my Suzuki only sells 4-wheelers now. I asked him about the problem and he stood there like a goat looking at a wristwatch. told me i should go get online or something. any help would be appreciated.
A Word to the wise.

Thanks for the info on the recall. Although I have a 2008, just bought it a month ago, I decided to check if there were any recalls on my year, and yes, there were 2, one for circuit board regulator/rectifier (called local shop & it was performed 5 years ago) and 2nd was for the ignition switch lead wire which wasn't performed & they will order the part & replace it for free. If it wasn't for your info, I wouldn't have checked the recalls for my bike. Thank you very much & Aloha.
Although this thead is years old, I am very happy you found the information useful. this one of the reasons we keep everything. You never know when someone may find a little nugget tuckedo away in a thread that helps them. Glad you got your bike in order, and welcome.
I still have my Harley which I am currently selling, over 40 years riding (25 on Harley's), rode a VMAX for a couple of years, awhile back & their group VMOA were very helpful like this forum. I can do all the work on my Harley but electronics on the Busa worries me. Just to let everyone know, although I get some ribbing from my Harley friends, I don't regret buying a Busa, it's what I wanted since '99 but never made the move, now that I have, it's an awesome bike to own & ride. Lastly, just wanted to share something else, rode with some friends on Sunday, stopped @ our favorite beach park, with a Harley FXR, a corvette & an old street rod (English Anglia) & my Busa, to my amazement the tourist was only interested in taking pictures of my bike, awesome!
Very cool and thank you for sharing. The Hayabusa attracts attention like no other bike I have seen. Let us know how we can help , there is wealth of knowledge here.
Nice read, are u on Oahu?
