Mate looked at this today....
From what I could tell...
Made 11/00
16,500k's,
Light drop on right side (light scuff to can and mirror)
but fairing seemed clean. Possible repair?
Missing the black infill panel that fits flat under headlamp on inside of fairing.
Was told the Full Yoshi system Pops/Bangs/Flames on overrun
(No commander fitted or PAIR valve mod done)
After trade in it made "HORRIBLE noise" and had a cam bearing replaced.
Seat hump butchered to keep grab rail.
Cheap after market screen.
Listed at $12,990 but that went to $13,800 ("or make me an offer") when we talked ride-away on-road price.
Whats your opinion ?
Been told of several 10 / 11 / $12,000 bikes in the past but
they seem rare now about S/E Queensland or are rough / Starship milage.
What you guys think ?
Thanks,
Tony.J.
best to get 03 or newer.Better clutch ,fuel pump,cam chain adjuster,32 bit computer etc. Glenn the Spa Man
I knew there were some upgrades between Early/Late modes but wasnt 100% on what they were.
Would I be starting up a Battle Zone if I asked whether the later model is THAT much better than an Early one, Do Early one's have real problems ?

have a look at vin number if it is
js1a1131400100776

Call Suzuki in Melbourne with the chassis no.
They may have a history on it (recalls, damage, right-off, etc...)
03 9931 0500
11.002 @ 217.39kph
Check out bikesales.com.au
There's an '03 for $13,700 in brisbane.
Thanks, Will do, but he was stretched at $12,990.

Cam bearings are not replacable! your been fed bullshit,
Cam caps and head are bored as 1 , if the cam caps could be sourced they would have to be line bored , any inaccuracy in boring would put the cams beyond adjustable range.
Cam bearings could only be damaged thru contaminated oil,lack of oil or an incompetent adjusting valve clearances.
the oil issues would most likely affect many other area's of the engine.
THANKS !
We were being fed info by a Salesman, not the Mechanic but
either way, it sounds like this might be one to walk away from.
Cheers,

There are better bikes than that around & cheaper. Keep looking .
Greg, the ball race behind the sprocket... maybe , however I doubt it very much unless it has been removed incorrectly without proper tooling.
They are a NTN brand special with groove cut for 1/2 circlip.
I wonder why the plastic section is missing
ask the salesman to have the fairings removed Tony, you'll soon see if any repairs have been done.
The Yoshi system would appear to be a Ti system from the pic with a genuine tri oval -- expensive system.
I would of said that there are not many aspects of the Busa's design that has been up graded other than the cam chain adjuster over the years. There have been many changes although they have not yielded an improvement per se'.
Your right Garry , there usually so trouble free i forgot

Dan.... Tony.... you guys should talk. The older I get, the better I was. Regards.... Rob
For me to buy a 2nd Busa, it would need to be 10 / $11k's but im not to fussed with bodywork, as I have plans for it.
Will check tomorrow what Mate can stretch to, he was hoping to haggle on the original 12,990 bike.
Guess its back to "You Get What You Pay For."
No stress, I can wait for the right bike.
