Guys I got a 2001 Mr Turbo bike. I bought it as is. I didn't do anything to it. I took it down to Ryan Schnitz and had it tuned. Ran good but not "great". Great to me is it wasn't super reliable to be a daily rider. Had good power but just below 4000 rpm it would hesitate and surge. When your on it , it runs good. Went to the track and made a pass, spun in first gear till 2nd gear, missed 2nd gear. Totally crappy run. 11.11 @134 mph. Next pass 11.02 128, 10.97@ 124 mph. Made 4 passes and on the last pass the motor was in the red zone on the temp gauge. It didnt feel like it wasn't making power, but obviously it wasn't. Bike stalled after the last pass on the return road. Wouldnt fire back up. I had to push it back and load it up and go home. I fully expected this bike to easily run low 9's. I am an experienced rider and should have easily gotten high 9's with total **** runs. So back at the shop..... I find the intake going to the plenum came off. The elbow going into the plenum was worn out. So I bought new one. Well back to turbo power again. But after riding it for a day, the starter took a dump, the starter clutch went bad and I had bad surging when I did ride it. It was cutting out, like someone was turning the key off.
So off to Maximum Performance to have them mess with it. Mean while I made a 1400 mile trip on my Vmax. Flawless.
I get back and a week later MP says my bikes done, but they can't find the reason it surges. So I pick it up, and ride it 10 feet from there shop and it surges and dies right there. I figure I ll just take it home and fix it myself. So it starts up and makes a 110 mile trip back to my shop ok. I ride it two hours after I get back and its surging again. Fuel pressure the whole time it 48-52 psi. I can hear the pumps running and they don't sound like they are shutting down. So I am bummed, I am thinking I am going to sell the bike. I am tired of having a bad ass ride and not being able to ride it. So I am back the shop, I start messing with the teether kill switch and I think its the problem. So I get that taken care of and my cutting out is gone. I ride it and I am happy, for a day.
Now I ride it and its surging but not cutting out. Fuel pressure is still up ( atleast on the gauge ).
I am not a electrical guru, hence me taking it to Max P. But that didnt get me anywhere either so I am stuck trying to figure this out myself.
So any pointers on things to take a look at.
Quick break down.
idle to 5000 rpm it surges if you cruise, doesn't matter what gear. Above 5000 rpm if your ripping into it, it runs like a raped ape and will spin the tire between 10-11,000 on every shift. I ve run it up to 195 mph indicated on the speedo with no problems. It plain pulls hard. But cruising sucks.
Both Ryan and Max P said the tune is just about spot on. It made 230 hp and 137 ft lbs.
I ll get more specs on the motor. But Ryan did say it had 36 lb injectors in it and that it wouldn't cruise great. But its almost unbridgeable now and I didn't have that problem till recently.
I am at the point and I hate to say that I am thinking of selling both my Busa's and my Vmax and buying a ZX14, putting a pipe on it and a pc with a good tune and throw a 50-60 dry shot on it and have a 8 second bike that will be reliable and go anywhere at the turn of a key. I am just getting to old to constantly have to mess with crap like this.

Ps I bought this bike ( the turbo ) because I wanted a 8 second bike and I know if I had enough seat time and I could get it running it would be there, but I want it to be streetable and fun too. Not a drag only bike.
