What's up fella's. I just registered a few weeks ago, but I have always visited this site for all kinds of info.
MY 99 busa was purchased in 2003 with only 4000 miles on it, and it purred like a kitten back then. Well now I have 10,000 miles on it and it runs like CRAP. I just wanted to bounce this off of you guys before I took it to the stealership for maintenance.
so far, I have installed new plugs and K&N air filter at about 9,000 miles and of course all the regular oil changes. This is what going on with it:
-It takes 3-5 seconds of engine cranking before it turns on (this is without giving it gas or choke).
-After idling for a minute or more, usually on the side stand, the engine will die out.
-After the bike is warm, and I hit the throttle hard, it will give me a quick bogging down which causes me to lurch forward, and a split second later the bike will continue to accelerate at it's usual power.
-When I'm coasting to a stop light or sign, I can hear some light popping from the cans. I'm not sure if the popping started prior to the new K&N filter or after it was installed.
-Just starting out in first gear is very hesitant, but once it reaches 3 or 4 RPM's, it runs fine, except when I romp on the throttle and I get that hesitation/bogging down.
I use premium gasoline everytime. I was told I probably don't need it re-mapped, because the chip isn't like a mechanical part which needs readjusting or recalibration.
Any suggestions or advice will be appreciated. RIDE ON!!!
