yes half the fun is modding but i'm too old for this shit. i might do it to my '96 cbr600 since the fairings are totally fucked but i am content with my B-king minus the little changes i plan to make to the tail and tail pipes.

B-King's are NOT detuned. Engine is 100% pure Busa.
They make a little less due to ECU, Exhuast and air intake.
B-King is longer.
B-King is heavier.
B-King has a stupid 16.5ltr tank.
B-King has piss poor leg room.
B-King is awful for pillions.
A naked Busa is a streetfighter and apart from the Gen1's useless
6-pots it betters a King at everything. The 3 or 4 hp difference is
not noticeable.
B-King's a fun production bike if you can live with the looks
and want a big unfaired bike out of the box. A streetfighter it 'aint !

I admire the craftmenship involved in your bikes but choose to remain a spectator at this point and time
Not many B-King owners fitting power commanders, some are even removing them.Quote:

good to know. I've only had the bike for a year i'm the second owner and the previous owner installed the duel yoshi's in cf trim and when i down ship to slow down it pops like if i had unspent fuel in the exhaust. I was told to install a power commander since the back pressure was changed with the yoshi's
I will have a look at the site you mentiond .
mine does the same ,blows flames out the back when i back off ,it doenst bother me,Quote:

Open can's are normaly too bad on a B-King, no real gain's on
a King other than looks and weight, the EXUP type valve and
cat seem to mean that the end can's arent a major restriction.
Stock King end can is ugly but flow's OK.
If I had a issue with popping/banging on the over-run i'd be
looking at removing and blanking the P.A.I.R immission crap.
I have no steering damper and it doesn't need one Pete, I've had no headshakes, even doing stupid shit, if your suspension is setup right they tell me you can get away without a steering damper. When Tony said not to worry about one I was skeptical but its never had an issue, even at the drags.Quote:

Someone told me you can squeeze a tube of silastic down the bars and that stops the buzz too ??
Busa Streefighter V BKing............. seriously mate..............you been out in the Candian cold too long fella.
yes in deed i'm actually looking for work oversea's in the oil and gas biz to get my ass out of the cold and if it proves to be lucrative i might build a bike wyle i'm down under. i'm allso waiting to hear back from the american millitary about a job posting in kuwait fuck anything to get out of this bloody cold commin this way real soon. my bike will be soon in storage and out of site for t'il may.
i too run no steering dampner Stu ,doesnt bother me.
i never had a bike with out a damper and the b-king had one on it when i got it.But as the weather gets much cooler here in canada i can feel the steering getting heavyer at low speeds
Both my faired Busa's ran dampers. I left them on.
Running wide Renthals gives me better leverage on the bar's,
had a few little shakes but very controllable.
I'd like to either try raising the back a little on the Busa
(with the linkage) or maybe a shorter arm (tried a 600
but wasnt happy). Maybe then the damper might return ?
Officer: Did you cut these big holes in the frame ?
Me: Um..... no..... they are what's under the plastic.......................geez mate.
Having fun in VIC but only have 3 points left to make it to Phillip Island and back to Gunnedah.... doh,...
then again... you have the once fastest road bike in existance... and the hume is pretty straight, so you could just outrun them on the way home.
Made it home, licence intact....... lots of bikes heading back from the Island made useful radar chaff.
Problems: Fueling issues around 100 - 110kmphr, will tell the guy who dyno'd it he owes me a free one. Lower octane fuel seemed to help the issue, it was worst with 98 octane ????
Low beam stopped working..... meh
Punched my finger through the toggle switch for the motogadget dash, I was checking how far I had to go before I had to fuel up, hit a bump and pushed the switch in half.
Other than that the old girl didn't miss a beat in the 3000+k's over the last week, I'm very happy with it.
I did manage to scratch the fuck out of the tank, pour petrol on it, chip it, fuck every time I went near it I fucked it up in one way or another..... the acrylic paint really is shit but whilst riding I figured out what colour to paint it. I'm going to go with the green of the new ZX14 at the front and gradually darken it as it goes back over the bike so by the time it gets to the back seat it will be black with a red tint.
The Hume.........spent the most boring two hours of the whole week dodging road kill on the Hume last Wednesday morning, avoided it as best I could on the way home. And another boring ride, Bairnsdale to .......well anywhere other than up the hill.....and the wind the other day, fark me, I saw a tree about 1mtr in Diametre laying over a pwoer line near Sale.
What fuel was in it when you got it dynoed ?
i got rid of my fuel as i think they sold me half a fuckin tank of water ,and im running 98 and irridium plugs and its still playing up ,blowing flames out of the pipe,and under 80ks is running rough as
Hope ya didn't fill up with woolies or coles.
caltex
sounds to me like you guys need to get your injectors cleaned it is a prob Pab13 had with his Busa quite a bit from dodgy fuel i always use Bp ultimate in my bikes caltex fuel is fucking shit IMO
I use Mobil 95 or 98 cos there's no BP here, so it's either the mobil servo or the independant that sells mobil fuel
BP Ulimate, it's what I've always used.Quote:

that's 236 yeah? :P
That road is pretty cool in summer.
That road was pretty fucking orsm. I thought I had the GoPro on from Harrietville but I fucked it up and only taped a bit across the top.
I really enjoyed the bit along the creek further down from Omeo to.....some servo.... I was shy on points by then and wasn't keen on getting booked again so I sat on 105.... through everything had a hoot.
Fuck it was hot at Bairnsdale, it must have been 35c, but by the time we got to the Island we were back in full winter gear, you cunts have got some crazy weather down there, froze, cooked, blown away, froze and drowned all in the one day. Lucky we had bourbon to make us forget.
omeo to ensay i'm guessing... just a servo on the left hand side?
Once my bikes back together that's going to be my once a week weekday ride i think. up to ensay and back.
those roads are magic i rode them a few years back with mishdog
I know of 2 blokes that got done for 139 and 143 in the same spotQuote:

XAMont yeah that'd be the road, looking at Google maps, Ensay, the sweepers along the creek leading up to there were great. There was about three or four stop lights for road works towards the Ensay end of it though without them it would have been biking heaven. Steve reckons he saw a metre long trout in the stream too, it was funny as Steve was telling me about it at a set of lights I looked in the review mirror and a guy about 10 bikes behind us had his hands apart telling his mate about the same fish. You're a lucky man to have that at your doorstep.
Been bloody ages since i posted, ;)
check your fuel pump/filter before going back to the dyno, there real bad at choking the filter (not the pickup strainer)
then the pump has to push harder to get your 43 psi at the regulator , wears the pump out faster, usually by the time you realise there is a problem both the filter is realy blocked and the pump worn out
if you remove the fuel hose from the rail and direct it to a container
and ground the yellow/black wire in the fuel pump relay, then key on will run the fuel pump without it cycling off
you want 5cc/hp/min or more,
Also next time you cross the alpine way, turn just before Omeo, to Cassils, it parrallels the highway and also comes out at Ensay, just a quieter backroad , but with unmarked corners
A mate has a dry nos kit with flashed dynotuned ecu , 40 shot, home made 4 way head in the airbox, ran it for a while at Heathcote before going turbo
on nos map switching is all done in the ecu , let me know if your interested .
Thanks Booster, I'm interested in the NOS could you tell me if it's for the 16 bit or 32 bit ECU ? I've only got the old 16 bit ECU, I'm not sure what I need to do to upgrade to the 32 bit.....I'm starting to think I should have got a later model one already.
If we make it to the GP or SBK I'll look that road up.
The Dyno guy said he'd run it again for me, I'll get him to check the fuel pressure and pump when he does it, it shouldn't cost me anything for the dyno so if the fuel pump / filter work is charged to me it won't be too bad.
I couldn't decide if it was an 01 or 02 , yeah the ecu is 32 bit, your wiring will plug in but you need the 24-1 pole rotor
Craig is the guy 0354484658, i dyno'd it here when he fitted it , loaded the flash and checked before and after nos,
dyno needed calibrating, it was soon after i brought it . as it read 180hp without nos and first alerted me it was reading high ,
i was expecting 170hp or so with his setup, but the 40 shot nos gave a 40hp increase just like it should
just be sure your dyno guy checks the flow as most just check pressure, which will read fine at idle
very easy to do it yourself , first as your going to pull the pump/filter out if its restricted and clean it , an our or so labour if your paying someone
i have one here i am about to fit in a bike, but will check first, i will take some pics and post the procedure to clean it out .
That'd be great, the more work I do myself the more I can spend on the bike. If you see a GSXR or Gen2 front end about I'm looking for that too.
good stuff as my busa is running shit misfiring dropping cylinders ,then magically coming good, ive got my whole fuel system out at the momentQuote:
