Blew Up the 2000 Busa

[Phatroy]

I blew up my engine Saturday. I threw a rod. *%&#ed up
the entire engine. Total loss. Good news I had an extended
warranty. Shop found a engine from a 2002 w/3,500 miles on it. Insane because my 2000 had 39,399 on it and was going on four years old. Shop really hooked me up. Didn't cost a thing except 3 weeks off my bike. Should get it back this week.

Messed up original post. I had 79,399 miles on my 2000 Busa.

nothing wrong with that deal.did you ever adjust the valves on the 00 motor?

 

[him]

what did you have done to the bike or this it just blow up

 

[Johnnycheese]

they need to swap rotor and stator for yours or it won't run.
Also did you read you ext. warranty?
I did not think they were allowed to do a motor swap.

and my dealer was having a fit about just rebuilding my engine.

I'm glad they helped you out.

Jeeze Roy! u da man! Hope it all comes together for ya soon... and like posted above what happened? or just regular riding?

 

[Henryace1]

You got real lucky with the extended warrenty...

 

[Joshinthecity]

Roy. It might be a good idea to share the name of the dealership who is looking after you so well. People are quick to post with complaints. In the interest of fairness ( and credibility of the board ) we should be men (and women ) enough to give credit where it's due when dealerships do the right thing.

Josh.

 

[Jace]

make sure they put the right engine in there if it says HONDA 1099cc something is wrong

Hey guys thanks for the support. I had Micron Cans on, the fuel injection re-maped w/K&N filter. Other that that nothing else to the engine. The shop is Fairfield Cycle Shop in Fairfield, CA. As far as I know my shop service manager said they are swaping the engine out right. I'm not sure about the other items. I will check. Thanks! He said the Ext. warranty
covers everything. I have been going to this dealer for over
15 years. I've bought 3 bikes from them, and I have a down on a 2005 Red/Black Busa. It should come in sometime early
November. They really did right by me. I have always had good luck with them.

rob T,
I had them look at the valves at 50,000 and they were right as rain. No adjustments needed. I did have a slight miss down low that the shop couldn't find. I took it in and they simply couldn't find it. They didn't say it wasn't happening, only that it didn't happen when they rode it. Someone told
me that it was a prelude to my bikes engine going south. I
really don't know. I don't profess to be a mechanic, I simple
love to ride. She just cut loose. We had been running pretty hot and heavy in the twisties at Lake Berryessa. We were coming to a rest stop only about 100 yards to the turn off.
I was coming down off about 80 mph in 4th/@approx. 5000 to
6000 rpm (I think). Cut out really bad w/lots of grey smoke/oil
flushed out bottom.

You need to check it out. due to the motor you could be getting is "used" I have installed used motors only to find out 100 miles later the tranny is toast or installed it and had a bent valve.

I understand the dealership wanting to make it easy on them selfs but if the warranty doesn't state that used is OKay I would demand new parts beacause there are no new motors (well there is but it is a pain to get one from Japan)

 

[Kento-Moto]

yeah, like Cheese said, why used if your warrenty is good why not new?

 

[Phatroy]

Guys I checke w/dealer about getting new parts. You were
right, they said I could get new parts instead of just a engine swap. It would be easier on them and I'd get my bike back sooner. I reminded them that I was buying a new bike from them and getting my old bike back sooner wasn't as important to me. Thanks for setting me strait. I appreciate it.

 

[Kento-Moto]

Just curious whats a new one gonna cost OTD? and are u goin to SF this wknd?

 

[STUNNAH]

Good deal, another up for ext. warranty...

sweet. It's good to see them backing up their stuff.

Kent - They wrote me up initially OTD as an estimate only to get my name on the bike for $12,399. This includes shipping/setup. They gave me shop cost and cut out the sales person comission because the Service Manager is selling me the bike due to my buying 3 from them before. The said
when alls said and done it may be less than the cost above. I am going through my credit union w/pre approved loan should get good percentage rate. I will be at the show in San Mateo on Saturday at 10:00 for opening. I will probably be there until noon. My bike will be done on Satuday for pick up and I want to go see the new land speed record Busa that will be on display at Fairfield Cycle Center on Saturday from
11:00 am - 3:00 pm. I'll try to look you guys up. I'll be wearing a Red/white HardCore Busa Shirt. You guys look for me if you get a chance.

Got my bike back. She runs like a brand new one. I am
very excited. Had a great ride to work this morning after
being off of the bike for over 2 weeks.
