Thanks Owen for recommending the mechanic!! Not only did he slove the problem but his price was very fair!
Thanks Rich for having to listen to my Busa's woes. This one was a one little evil gremlin
A big FU#$ YOU to the dealership. I took it to them when the FI light came on(now that I know how to get my own error codes with a paper clip the dealership won't have that over my head) and they adjusted the TPS way out of adjustment to cover-up the hard starting problem, $100 out the window
The gremlin... What the mechanic called the check valve and the plastic clip that attaches it fell off the fuel pump assy. Owen's mechanic found the little elbow and the plastic clip rattling around loose in the fuel tank!!
So if your bike is hard to start and won't idle properly and you've tried all the easy things. Check fuel pressure at idle. Its supposed to be 40psi, mine was 7psi. Weird thing was once you reved it past idle, the bike ran fine. It was strictly an idle and starting problem.
For $210 Owen's mechanic diagnosed the bike, changed spark plugs, cleaned the air filter, synched the throttle bodies(they were way off also), removed fuel pump, and assembled/installed fuel pump.
Bike runs great now and I'm looking forward to Oct 27th!! My next trackday
