Recently ordered a plug-n-play SH for the Busa and ran into a couple of snags. If you don't want to waste your time reading further Norbert @ SH is great and they are a solid business with excellent customer service.
1-The plug-n-play for the Busa has a small problem, they can't get the actuall plastic housings for Suzuki yet so they have the pins (individually insulated) that fit into both sides of the Busa connectors. This was not stated well on their site and I did not catch the fine print. They have since changed that. The secureness is a little sketch but if tied up on the harness properly for a secure fit and use some dielectric grease to keep any water and crap out of the now open connectors, it seems to work great. I am on the waiting list for the Suzuki plug housings though.
2-The 3ft. cable the kit comes with is not long enough to make it to the Busa's trunk, which is the best spot for it due to easy access to its features. If you let them know when you order they will send you a custom length cable at no additional cost. 54" is good for the Busa. This will give you lots of options for a trunk mount.
3-On the previous V2.0 with the top speed memory recall you just held down the button to recall last top speed (it was displayed as long as button was held) and it reset when the igniton turned off. The reset could be changed by wiring it up constant instead of to the speedo sensor's ign. switched power and just use a switch in-line to manually reset when needed.
4-The custom version kit gives the ability to remote mount a switch wherever you want instead of using the button on the unit. There were some grumbles in a few posts that I read about the wire coming from the unit for the switch being a small gauge and shielded which made it very difficult and fragile to work with. They changed it to use a molex connector on the brain that allows use of your own wire and switch by a removable connector that has wire screw downs on it. It does come with a switch too.
5-The V2.1 that has just come out and I don't even think is on the website yet, has a cool new feature. You do not need to wire it up constant and use two switches for the memory. It is stored in flash memory now and recalled/reset through a single button. Press the button once and the TSM is recalled for 3 secs., press and hold until the needle falls back down and it is reset.
6-Norbert got me one of the new unreleased units and I found that the 3sec TSM did not work well for the Busa due to the needle sweep time and not being digital. Although the busa does it's full needle sweeps quite quickly on power up, when recalling to a specific speed it happens slightly slower. This is due to the SH regenerating the right frequency signal to reproduce the recall which starts the needle off sweeping towards its mark quite fast, as it approaches the speed though in the last 25% of it's sweep it slows perpetually until it hits the goal line. This is due to the increasing resistance of the needle as it sweeps higher. bottom line the last 25% of the needles travel accounts for probably 50+% of the recall time and at around 160mph it would not have enough time to recall the speed before the 3secs expired and the needle headed back down. Working with Norbert and doing some stop watch measurements on my Busa, we were able to come up with a fix before they were officially released. The new V2.1 will have a recall time of 5.5 secs which should work well with the Busa at all speeds.
7-Something to remember is that whenever you do the top speed recall it is clocking miles on your odometer. So if you did 100mph and recalled it, your bike would think it had gone 100mph for 5.5 secs and add the appropriate distance to your odo. Not much to get excited about though, because the Busa odo is accurate and adjusting the speedo error down by the roughly 8% that it's over by, your odo will also get the same amount of reduction in logged miles, roughly 8%.
Not trying to pimp anyones product but this is a great mod, great company, and I learned alot while taking my speedohealer journey, and wanted to share any vaulauble information. Weather it is of any value or not, you will have to decide!
The custom kit with plug-n-play V2.1 is $99usd shipped TYD, I don't believe the $ will change with the new release but who knows.
