Difference between different year busa's
« on: August 30, 2007, 12:15:14 PM »
so, i know that busa's really haven't changed much since they were produced in the first generation busa's

my question is were there any smaller changes between years that would make them better for modifications? or just a general advantage over other years.
I've heard that the first 2 years were slightly different than the later bikes.

03 and up are the best because they fixed all the major problems and made some improvements. like cam chain tensioner, clutch is better, no more starter kickback. 01 is the bastard child stay away from it 99-2000 are all the same electronics and parts. 02 and up are all the same electronically only thing that changed there is the 03s had the starter fix. 05 and up had the passing lamp button which is nice for nitrous activation.

oh, and are there any little quick fixes that help with reliability or little problems that tend to be common for busa's?

for example, i keep seeing aftermarket alloy oil pans....

only thing the aftermarket oil pans help with are lowering the bike  but then you have to run a sidewinder exhaust. the most common problem on the busas is 2nd gear going out you can get the transmission backcut to fix that. other than that they are pretty solid. change the oil every couple of thousand miles more if you drag race.

99-00: unrestricted. 99 copper is the collector favosrite. cam chain adjuster recall. easy fix.
99-00: aluminum subframe recall. buncha bullshit. tons of people buying and using them to race with.
01-07: requires the TRE mod to bypass OEM ECU tuning for uber speed.
02-07: steel subframe.
02: ECU upgrade to higher bit rate.
03: starter upgraded. low voltage in battery can result in kickback resulting in fractured cases. rare, but happens. there is a fix for 99-02 from schnitz et al.
03- 07: ti nitrate fork coatings. ubber bling but otherwised unnoticeable performance upgrade in a 500+lb bike.
08: new bag of tricks.
