It's Christmas mods !

I've been installing Brembo MC and SS brake lines from Core Moto. The quality of the lines are really good, instructions were also crystal clear. Only two brackets to modify, no big deal.

I chose to keep the ABS, so it's lines #3, 4 and 5

For now I'm just waiting for a custom clutch line from a local shop here in France before taking the first test drive.

Here is some pictures

I wish there was a way to mount the reservoir that was just shorter cleaner and better lol. I hate the way mine looks.


Why didn’t you get a clutch line from core moto too?

So do I, these are way too big... maybe if I find something more discreet I'll change it like this black one below.
I didn't get a core moto clutch line because I didn't know the genuine line would be too short, also had to install an hydraulic switch for the clutch by the way

Get some AEM integrated reservoirs. Probably as expensive as the MC themselves these days but they are works of art.

Can you use a relay on the Gen3 instead of the clutch switch, like the Gen1, Gen2, and Gsxr's?
Or do the new Gen3 electronics prevent that?

Gen 3 Busa - Some clutch switch findings with a Brembo RCS 16 clutch, hope this is helpful.

Lever Ratio set to 18 (adjuster BLACK)- biting point with gloves and 2 finger clutching is just nice, firmer feel which i prefer. Biting point is nearer than the stock MC. Feel is nonetheless way lighter than stock MC.
Lever Ratio set to 16 (adjuster RED) biting point is too close with gloves and 2 finger cluching- bike creeps forward, need to use all 4 fingers to pull clutch entirely in to stop this. almost no feel.


Regarding the clutch switch service manual states:
On = Clutch Lever Grasped
Off = Clutch Lever Released

1) Hydraulic Switch
The "OFF" point seems to be all the way out at the full release of the clutch
Cruise control disengages at the instant once the lever is grapsed, could indicate that switch turns "ON" immediately. (no spike in rpm when lever is grasped.)
The low RPM assist fails to function, as it seems to the ECU that the switch is "OFF" at the biting point. Low RPM assist dosent work as the switch only turns "ON" when lever is fully released all the way, by that time there is no use for the low RPM assist.


2) Mechanical Switch
Cruise Control disengages like the stock switch- it disengages only when almost the full stroke is hit when lever is grapsed and switch is contacted to the "ON" position - the rpm will spike for short moment before it contacts the switch, which is like stock behavior.
Low RPM assist seems to work once the switch turns "OFF" - as per with the stock cluch MC / stock switch.
However as the Low RPM assist works better than the stock MC as the biting point is nearer and the switch deactivation point is closer and as such the assist kicks in earlier, which makes it more in synch with the biting point.
There is the occassional clunk from the gear box similar to stock behavior when holding the clutch at a stop light then releasing it before getting going- signalling that its probably working right.


Conclusion: I have the mechanical switch wired in as i prefer it. (Was using the hydraulic switch for a day or two, but i prefer the behavior of the mechanical switch purely for the Low RPM assist seemingly working better than stock. However the Cruise control cut feels better with the Hydraulic Switch, but i go off from stop lights more than i use cruise control so the choice was obvious...)

note- Have not checked for any fault codes at this point.
