Prob be 2014 and ill end up needing upgrade the 14

Got a nasty feeling we may have to wait until 2015 for an upgrade for that and the GSXR1000 after talking to Suzuki NZ. But could be (read I hope) wrong. Long over due I feel.

Generation 2 zx1441r 2012 and 2013 is a low 9 stock. The 2013 busa also has more hp and cc.

I think you may be trolling gen1 zx14 <2011

That thing has lowered, which makes a good difference on the strip.

Ah gotcha now. Thought you meant the 2013 has more cc and power than the 2012 etc. I wish! As you were...

Which shows that it not the hp but the ability to use it. This is why the expected difference in time in the 1/4 is small but the terminal speed difference is quite a lot.
12/13 zxs are still high 9s without front straps and rear lowered.

I am taking my Gen 1 Busa
Just need a person with a Gen 2 and a ZX14R now. Settle this beef in a straight up grudge match drag hahaha.

Got a feeling that we might see factory turbos on these bikes within the next ten years. As long as still you can remove the 299kph limiter im all for it

Current bikes taken from mcn reviews.

That's the generation 1 zx14 1352cc
Generation 2 is 1441cc with 20odd extra hp and more torque plus traction control and run under 10sec even with traction control on. On this setting hp is limited to 175 in first and second gear also.

Fuck mate you make it sound like low 10's is bad or something. Top effort chap.

Hey mossy, highy recommend you check out Schnitz Racing. They would have done your ECU for 60USD. I have ordered over $2000USD worth of turbo parts from them. Highly recommend them, Ryan also runs a drag school so only stocks the best shit available.

I was looking for invoice. Cant find yet but wife says she thinks we paid 1450 for yoshis and reflash and yoshi tail tidy which means reflash including insured freight was about 450 through brock's performance. the return freight was 55usd with insurance of that price and I think the sending freight was $50nzd. I got the bike shop to do it for me before I purchaced the bike.

Got some 10 evens at Masterton but must admit once the wheel came up I didn't want to let it down again.
Wasn't very good at it. My best reaction time was .7 sec. I think terminal speed was between 230-240kph every run.

Found some of my zx12r results from 2005. Seems like I won.

Nope it was a draw. Both bikes did similar times all day. He had his best in run 2 and mine was in run 3 so they wernt even in the same run. Then I did the same time in run 4

http://www.cliffhanger.org.nz/sprints/results/2005_results.html

It looks like the last figures are a calculated average speed not a terminal speed which would mean same time equals same average also.
The flying on the 12 wasn't good as it sat on the speed limiter which 299kph indicated is 25 about true speed.

I was thinking similar - they are on a mission. If Aprilia had the desire they have v4 experience to throw at a big block arse-kicking road burner.
And if Yamaha took the V-Max engine, tweaked it and put it in a motorcycle that was actually desirable they could be on a winner.

Honda had their chance for a Blackbird 2 instead of that ugly, short range VFR 1200. I know that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder and there are some innovative features but world-wide sales haven't been at all flash. I still regard my 8 year ownership of a Blackbird with huge affection but going to the Street Triple nearly 4 years ago has brought a different sort of enjoyment for the type of riding I mainly do nowadays and still think I made the right choice in moving right away from something I'd only be drawing comparisons with..

Of course, if my wife gave permission, I could have a Street Triple AND a hyperbike. Hell will freeze over first :weep:

I do ( and you are one record on KB as stating they are highly under-rated ...) and if I had 4 x what I paid for it to spend on a motorcycle I'd not buy a new Vmax ............ or a VF1200, or a ........

But then I'm not American and they were designed for them..................

Modern motorcycle styling is going to shit. All covered up and origami styling or repetitious copies of a 100 year old style (HD clones).

I'm a visual person - if I had the good fortune to have a unlimited budget I would find it fairly slim pickings to buy a physically desirable set of ten new bikes to fill my garage.

You are stuck in a profession where you have to be careful at what you write Dave - can't upset the money cart to much by stating you think it looks like a horses arse but goes like hell. Some British reviewers do but they are far a few apart now days. Same with new cars - considering any new vehicle requires a huge tooling investment it surprises me that someone designs a boring looking cage and then a committee approves it. Or worse a good looking vehicle is designed then some group pick out the gayest colours ever to paint them in!

Mind you the Simpsons did a show where Homer designed his ultimate car ............. maybe my ultimate motorcycle would suffer the same ending!

Off topic, but Go on - I wanted to say to Al that it's not my 'profession' .

From what I've been told there are only two qualified journalists in the NZ bike press.
The Ed at KR has a degree from Otago (and a Qantas award) and Roger Moroney is also qualified, but his was probably chiseled on a tablet.
But that's hearsay.

I avoid calling myself a Journalist - other than for convenience to someone who wouldn't understand anyway.

Freelance writers like me can (see what I did there) write what we like. The Editor and the Publisher decide if it gets printed. If I wrote about anything that was dangerous or a rip, then all of mine (publishers) would run it.

But I've never encountered it. Just fitness for the vehicles' intended application. That's what it is, 1250 words of: if you like.... then this bike will be good for you because it...

That's why I don't have to be careful and there isn't any pressure. I think you have to work for a Brit tabloid to do the 'Fat Boy is a shit track bike because we tell it like it is' routine.

Ad mogul David Ogilvy had a quote: 'Does advertising corrupt editors? Yes it does, but fewer editors than you may suppose... the vast majority of editors are incorruptible.'

And it's a fair bit more "hyper" compared its rivals (V-Rod, Diavel) than a Busa or ZX14 is to half a dozen litre bikes.

And if Yamaha took the V-Max engine, tweaked it and put it in a motorcycle that was actually desirable they could be on a winner.

I never noticed any deficiencies with several units in street use - even lugging my weight around and pulling the odd stunt.

Some produce more engine buzz than others, but it was only minor.

Good value. If you can't afford/don't like a new Speed Triple - you get a lot of that vibe for the coin.

You sure it wasn't just a rooted shock?The shock and swingarm give trouble first, but push past that and things start getting interesting.

I was riding the thing WAY past it's designed purposes though. But if someone is upgrading a bike, the design brief of it got thrown out the first time a spanner went near it.

Well, it was a cheap fun bike, suspension right out of the budget bin, brakes soft etc. One of the few larger capacity bikes that learners from 250s could step up to, as it was gentle if you wanted it.

I've felt the bike flex a bit, sort of steering the two ends when you're nudging it through quicker corners, but don't push it that hard any more.

Thanks for that. Would be about $600ish plus gst. Not a bad option at all. Do have ideas towards another shock from another model.

Im looking for a decent shock that dont cost more than the bike. Done the fork and its great, back is a bit soggy.

Short pipe makes it scream though. :eek:

Depends what you want to spend. Mr Taylor can turn an average shock into a good one, and for the money ya can't do much better. It's just a matter of having something to start from. At least you've got loads of space now that the pipes aren't here.

Ive looked at an R1 shock more than once and wondered. Piggy back would punch through the rectifier so i would probably be best to move it.

Actually thats a good point Drew,betting he can do it for far less than even the price of a cheaqper unit like the Hagon.Must say i was well impressed with the Hagon damper though,i bought one of the 1st to be sent overseas and a week or so after i fitted it i got a phone call from this dude Peter Leech who worked for Hagon in England asking what i thought,nice bloke.

So it'll be sprung way wrong, but could be a not bad starting point.

I've got a pretty decent shock from the RF, which is the same as a GSXR1100 item.

Rebuild-able, adjustable, and has a remote res (for not needing to move reg/rec). Cheap to a good home if ya wanna hit up the good Dr to see if it's a viable option.

Cheers. Yes I realize valving would be out. Ive looked at GSXR but the bottom is clevis and the Hornet is an eye. Need about 290mm long.

Ive got an idea on spring rate from US guys that track them. I would go a little lower to make up for our roads. Some guys over there are using CBR600 F3 shocks and just fitting them. They seem to think they work ok but im not so sure.

There is a big spring sitting in my shed which may end up on the stock shock for a bit.

Thanks for the offer though.

Was talking about about water injection, Liquid to Air intercooling is awesome but I don't plan on running ultra long pulls at 400hp or more so its a little bit of overkill. 300hp would probably be the highest I would go on a non extended streetbike.

Water Injection sounds like it would meet my needs perfectly, just wondering on if anyone else in here had experiences with it.

Still a while off actually installing anything into the bike, still planning everything out.
Debating on weather or not its a better idea to save a bit more coin and get pistons/rods/spacer/arp studs just to give the engine a bit of extra insurance

Thats pretty good. It probably wouldn't cost that much after you strip the engine and box and deliver the parts yourself. All the busa info im getting is comming from the states, where hardly any cunt knows how to turn a spanner and prefers to pay insane amounts to have others do it for him. Pretty sure most hayabusa powered cars spit clutches like crazy and then the transmission. I even came across a photo where the output shaft had stripped out the inside of the front sprocket. INSANE

Well I have ideas of moving the rear shock mount back on the swing arm to lower forces on the rear shock. And run a longer shock like one from the R1. And cutting up a swing arm from another bike (like an R1) to get the bracing off it and weld it to a Hornet swing arm. All this along with bracing the front of the frame may help the handling a lot.

Or it all could be the dumbest idea ever. :brick: Which makes it more appealing.

$200 worth of Ohlins front springs and fresh oil make a huge difference to the Hornets front end. RT made me up a Ohlins rear shock for significantly less than that figure you mentioned for the rear.

That bike has been on trademe for around 6 months. He originally wanted 25k for it. 17k is more than reasonable in my opinion considering the amount to work which has been put into the project.
I think with that engine build it is capable of alot more though. Hes only running a .010 spacer which is quite close to stock compression, most pistons recommend a .080. The engine is bulletproof, he could easily run 20psi with the right compression settings. That thing is an absolute weapon

Mine is ready for cliffhanger sprints. Made some mirror cap off covers. Im not sure what difference the removal would make to the flying speeds if any at all.:kick:

Im wondering if I should put 50 pounds in the tires???

Im running 40 on the road now on the bridg20s which isn't normal for me as I always ran high 20s low 30s on other tyres in the past.

I've always run around 24-26psi in rear tyres, and 30 in the front. But race rubber responds to that differently than sports touring.

Stick with 40 psi for the speed runs I reckon.

mossy1200

31st August 2013, 17:26

what is the max pressure recomended by bridgestone?

42psi is the recommended pressure on the tire. Its the oem tires though and I think they have higher speed rating but less grip than the shelf items needing a factory rating of 200mph for some countries.

Even the importer can't find out what those differences are though.

I have never taken any of my vehicles to a so called service center to be seen by a so called mechanic. If you want to take the top end off, do it yourself and take it to a head shop. It won't cost you as much and they have alot more knowledge than your local indian/asian with a spanner. Im going to be rebuilding mine at 55km, with low compression pistons and a stronger top end

Barely run it in mossy. Done about 12k on mine since January, love it and cant see myself trading in anytime soon. Only taken it off the clock once when I was with another busa with a detector/jammer. Everything under 200kph down a straight seems slowish now.

The busa is a funny bike. The look does grow on you. Personally I prefer the GenI shape to the GenII. Others are the opposite.

Waiting for a letter from customs atm. Have the fuel system parts for the turbo build at the border. Stay tuned...

Its faster to call them and quote the tracking number unless your hoping they wont bill you for gst. I waited once and only when I called did I get it sorted.

At 100 zx14r is getting 20km per litre.

My Hayabusa gets about 5.5L/100km (18.2km/L) when it's left in top, doesn't make a lot of difference if you're cruising at 110 or 140. About 6.5 - 7.0 L/100km (15.4 - 14.3 km/L) on back roads using more gears.

100 is 19-22 depending on load etc and hill. Trailer is 19-20
In the flying quarters I spotted 4km per litre at one point

Not sure about speeds 120 etc as I ride with range selected most of the time and I do 100clicks <_<
On fuel usage it shows you as ride, the current usage.
On range it shows you distance left in tank by a 1min calculation of fuel being used against remaining fuel in tank. This seems to change about every min approx. If you coast down a steep hill in 6th with clutch in on a full tank you can get 999km per tank.:bleh:

My last 1000km average was 15.4 includes town, towing, the hill and open road.

Maybe not, but it's hardly going to put anyone off if it does matter to them. 17.5km/L isn't much worse than a carby 250, mine used that much on occasion.

jolly_26

18th September 2013, 08:15

Yeah 5.5L/100km isn't really that bad, my 250 will do about 3.5-4L/100km and given the performance difference that seems pretty damn reasonable. That would make them similar to if not better than many of the litre bikes I believe?

Are you running a Powercommander or a TRE/xTRE in your busa? The TRE increases my consumption, im currently running a bit rich atm. Might be a seasonal change. I will tweak the PCV map for it, seems to be at full throttle at Mid Range RPM. Slightest of lags.

If I have it on the economy reading it does an average over each past 60seconds and displays it.
Eg cruising along motorway 120 for a few minutes reads 23km per litre. flat and smooth holding speed.
On range setting it calculates fuel use over a 4min period to calculate km left inside tank etc.
Running 1/4 mile was doing about 6km per litre.
Average has been 15.6km per litre over the last 1000km with town usage and the hill etc.

Just gotta find a race track long enough to see how quick it really is.

Im getting about 8km/L atm. Been having trouble ever since I changed the filter. Had a look at my fuel table yesterday, mid range throttle is wayyy to rich. Going to reset the PCV back to a zero map and see how it it runs (probably all good)

Gen1 busas didn't have a o2 sensor so im looking at a wideband kit. Pretty expensive but good for finding problem areas in the fuel table and im going to need one eventually for when I go turbo.

Anyone else running a pipercross filter and experiencing richness? im considering going back to the stock filter

Yeah I'm going back to it ay. No point in getting it dyno'd to possibly gain 3 or 4hp. Will flick it off on trademe for $60 atleast that way I get something back from it.
Im getting good power with it on the current map but the mid range just isn't street friendly

Running a K&N on my Gen 2 and no problems, having said that I haven't noticed any improvements either over the stock filter but sticks and stones with a 'Busa. I'd suggest go back to the stock filter and start again. Nothing to lose.

The guys dyno tuning generation 2 zx14rs are getting almost 1 extra hp at the top of the rev range and losing 2 hp everywhere else.
Don't think ill change the stock unit until it needs replaced.

Not motorcycle related but interesting none the less. Shows that filters don't really do a hell of alot

The K&N Panel filter actually makes the car lose power. I will be going back to stock once I get home tonight, might keep the pipercross incase I ever decide to get a dyno tune done. Just paid my rego and now im broke, so I dont see that happening

I saw a report on a bunch of different "performance" filters for some lateish model Chev. Essentially some of them flowed better than the OE versions but because the engine designers aren't usually complete fuckwits it didn't increase HP to any measureable degree. And the engine life was significantly less. Quite a few of them flowed worse than the OE part and STILL let much larger particles through.

In fact the best performing filter of the lot was also the cheapest and the one most independent mechanics fitted: the AC Delco made OE part.

Yeah I agree man. Eye catching packaging and false promises do seem to work in the motorcycle world as well. Pretty clear that a Air Filter isn't going to give you the 8hp it promises on the box. The oils from them can even clog sensors and fuck them, not cool. Will be checking my ones tonight. It was running fine when I first put it in there, no issues at all but now its got a 1000km on it the fuel consumption is though the roof.

On a thread about hyperbikes, you guys are discussing fuel economy :facepalm:

Absofuckinlutely!!!, I couldn't care less how much fuel my Busa uses as long as I can reach the next servo!

Gen1 Busa
-Modified ignition curve in 1,2 and 3
-Disabled limiter in top
-Up 2 on the rear,
It is moderately fast I guess but.......

Not doing anything engine on it, cause the reality is, it runs around in the real world and will allways be a fuckload slower than my Superbike, I'd have time to stop at the top of the straight and roll a ciggie before a ZX14 caught up too, so, which one really IS a "hyperbike"?, a Busa?, a ZX14?, a Blackbird, or a 1 litre Superbike that is faster down the quarter, faster in the turn, faster out, stronger on the brakes, just as much top end as any of the heavy weights .

I would call my Busa a "hyper tourer" that can hang with the 600 mob in the real world tight stuff if you know how to work the thing. If I cared about fuel consumption, I would get a GN250!

Riding my bike Sunday morning after 4 mths off (winter) I thought of the quote from Jay Leno:
"Riding a 1000cc Sports Bike is like having sex with an aerobics instructor."

Re the Air intake, the biggest improvement people could make on a car was giving the car cool direct air. Putting a pod filter in a hot engine bay is always gonna make you go backwards, besides the cool intake noise. People got the impression that simply changing the filter made a huge improvement, and the filter companies capatilised on it.

Ive actually been recommended to go aftermarket on the CBR though, as apparently the paper filters clog easily.

Installed the woolich gear.
Ordered swinger stand bobbins and a rear stand.
Ordered akra headers to go with the Yoshi pipes. Like the twin pipe look.
Also ordered the woolich bench harness as I don't get net in the garage and the Brocks/Guhl code on my ecu isn't on the known list so breaking it could take 48hrs with ignition on. Easier to have the ability to do that in the house.

Got the pcV installed and fuel economy is improved also. A lot more power after first ride.

Im thinking voodoo rearsets and powercomander quick shift will be next.

Get the quickshifter. Never mind rearsets. Waste of money unless your into the anodised bling shit.
Glad too see you got the woolich harness. I need to get one I think

My bike doesn't have a shift rod. The gear lever bolts onto shift shaft. I can do a quick shift with hole and bolt and shaft onto chain cover housing but it doesn't look nice.
Rearsets mean shift shaft and then I can get shift switch shaft to replace it.
The stock pegs on my bike have thick rubber that moves around a bit and my sole gets onto mid pipe when wearing J Rebs also.

Went a bit crazy on the bench tune unit while waiting for the bench harness to arrive. Might add a camera and monitor the garage also.

Voodoo rearsets ordered. Once they arrive ill measure the link arm and order the dynojet quickshift shaft the correct length for them.

Only problem is Amazons expected arrival is December. I think Santa might be their delivery guy.

Good shit mossy. Looks like your build is comming along nicely. Funds have been a nightmare for me atm, so I haven't done alot to mine. Might have to sell my FZR1000 to free up a couple of grand for some new goodies. Will post up some pictures of my mods tonight. Keep em coming...
