I sent my ecu away to America for a reflash (changed program).
2012-2013 zx14r has 175hp limiter in 1st and 2nd gear.
reflash removes that and raises rev limiter another 500rpm.
It also removes the 299 speed limiter. ZX14r has traction control compairing front and rear wheel. The abs/traction control sensors tell the ecu when 299 is reached so the ecu needs reprogram to ignore the limiter. Theres no other way to get the limiter removed unless you remade the sprocket and front discs with less sensor holes. Unplug the sensors and the bike reverts to wet ride mode hp which is 150hp approx.
Theres a few other changes made also.
I think the latest busa is the same. Power commanders wont fix limiters now.
I have evolved as a KB member.Now nothing I say should be taken seriously.
The latest stuff leaves the owner wanting an older bike to tinker with.
The reason busa doesn't do well in flying quarters in the local events is the limiters haven't been removed.
Hard to say a busa got beat in the flying when the 2013 model has a 286kph limiter. So the bikes are going to run 280-295 depending on tyre tread depth, profile and pressure.

Fair enough.Only experience ive had with a Busa was over on the West coast a few years back heading to the Woostock rally,dont think he liked having an old v twin up his backside and going up and then down the staircase he would come out of some corners giving it a handful which had the rear almost smoking up,didnt increase the gap at all but well impressive to watch.![]()
Be the person your dog thinks you are...
I followed a gen1 busa to Akaroa a few weeks ago on my DR, after a lot of big talk earlier he couldn't get away from me in the twisties even with his ability to pull away on any straight, and I was on knobblies (which he felt the need to remind me of when we stopped).
Is kind of horses for courses, probably far better than a litrebike for touring but as soon as you introduce corners onto the equation the litrebike is likely to be faster. My supersport is fast enough for me, top speed 271 (indicated, probably more like 250 in reality) and quarter mile in the 11 second bracket.
