I haven't heard of a clutch oiling mod for the Busa yet, but I know that some gsxr1000 guys are doing it. Apparently they are modifying the clutch push-piece by lightly machining a groove in it?? I read about it on www.gixxer.com Check it out.

Are you referring to the clutch mod that supposedly prevents the clutch fluid from getting dark?

The clutch mod you are talking about involves drilling more and larger holes in the stock basket. The MTC unit that you are getting already has that done. The other mod is also making a slight groove in the clutch push rod. MTC also does this if you can't.

The complete how to with demensions and all was lost in the hacking..

I had it bookmarked, I should have copied it..

But as he said more of the manufacturers are taking this into account on their parts.

Yngve, if you aren't having problems now then don't do the mod. I think some people modified their clutch "pusher" only to regret it and purchase a new one. The newer baskets have more oil holes, and the MTC definitely has enough of them. I'd stay away from modifying the clutch pusher, even if I did have clutch issues. I just don't like that mod, the extra oil supplied to the clutch has to come from somewhere. Guess where? (hint, it's not a place you want to take oil away from!)

I think the biggest problem when this mod was first started was that the groves in the pusher where way to big.I seen Tony at his MTC trailer at the Prostar race in Montgomery and looked at his pusher.The grove was very very and I mean very small,    it will give you a little more oil only when the clutch is disingaged.If Tony thinks this is a good mod thats good enough for me.

My own belief on this clutch oiling thing is the problem is synthetic everyone is using.  Now I know people are going to give me shit,  but never had a problem till I put mobil 1 in my bike then the clutch started acting up, when I pulled apart inner plates were dry,  my thoughts are the synthetic is so slick it flings off the clutch.  I put my regular oil back in and havent had problems since.   Again just my .02  I pull consistant low 1.60s and dip into the high 1.50's with the stock clutch, no mod.

I had the imfamous clutch "chatter" problem when trying to launch my busa. nothing short of replacing the entire large outter basket fixed ths problem. At the time, people thought it could be an oiling problem (the clutch plates were getting dried out), so they drilled more holes in the basket, and then moved on to cutting groves in the pusher. I started with 1 grove, then moved to 4, 1 every 90 degrees.
Bottom line was that it didn't help the chatter problem, and i personally ended up spinning a bearing in my motor. I cant say it was directly caused by the pusher mod, because oil going to the pusher is controlled by a jet in the oil pump distributer, so it can only get as much oil as that jet allowed no matter how many grooves were cut in the pusher.
_and it was a 1363 with a lot of passes on it! so who knows.
bottom line is that the BDE clutch cushion fixes the problem (unfortunately it wasnt out when i sold my busa), so it was nothing to do with oil.
my gsxr 1000 started chattering also after a few dozen passes, and the BDE clutch cushion fixed.that to-
