I have a '02 with 7000 miles and my starter began acting up about a month ago. When attempting to start the bike the starter gear would slip and I would hear a loud clanking sound (not good). Last week the temp. was in the 70s, went out to start the bike and the starter would not engage, (just spinning up). My 1-year warranty runs out on Jan. 31st. Took the bike up to the dealer and they found the starter gear was worn. They are replacing the starter gear and clutch pack under warranty. Word has it that one of the changes for the '03 Busa is a stronger starter gear.
On another board, there is a post talking about Service Bulletin GSXR No. 126. SUBJECT: STARTER SYSTEM PARTS INTERCHANGE INFORMATION. MODEL: GSX1300R HAYABUSA 1999 through 2002. I asked the dealer about any service bulletins and they told me they did not show any bulletins for the '02 Busa. He told me that the part numbers listed for the '02 Busa starter kit did not show an update for the 2003 start kit.
I got the standard internet posting look from the dealer when I showed them the information about service bulletin GSXR NO 126. They have no information on this bulletin. The dealer started to give me the song and dance story about having an after market pipe and power commander installed on the bike, saying this could have caused the problem. They are going to fix it under warranty. I think I just lucked out having the problem occur under warranty. If this happend out of warranty, I would be paying to have it fixed.
I will let you know how it turns out.
