Original thread by 'BusaSamurai ' on the Hayabusa.org website.

I got peeved off having to lift the tank on my bike to adjust the idle every now and again, so reading the above topic last week decided to order the bits. Picked them up today and 5 mins later fitted, makes adjustment a breeze now Why the hell Suzuki don't fit these as standard is beyound me, Oh thats right it might cost them a few more $$'s to manufacture

Quote by ''BusaSamurai ' in the original thread:

Problems with idle not staying adjusted here is the Right way to do it with out glue ,silicone or another nut..
Go to the Stealer ship and ask for part #13270 And #13279 it is the adjusting screw and extension and bracket from a 2000 Busa it will bring the adjustment screw out beside the right side fairing and you can adjust while sitting at a red light without tools . but since i have done mine and set it . It has not moved i guess the longer screw and spring keep it tight. For some reason they changed the Design after 2000 ..

Heres some pics.. More at bottom of posts. The brackets bolts to a factory hole that is for this application . For somreason they did away with the extension but still drill and tap hole for it..


Pics below:





Worth it for me, but make your own mind up.

All the REAL busas already have one.

So a K6 Busa ain't a 'real' one ?

Lay off the turps for a while

[GDYUP]

Mine was set when dyno tuned. Never needed to adjust it? Ever?

<i></i>

[Maggot1300]

my K6 has never needed the idle adjusted. got it done at first service and never had a problem with it. Maby yours was a bit dodgy [<i></i>

[BUSGO]

Sorry Tim, only joking..

Of course every GSX1300R is a REAL busa.
They just softened them a bit after the first 2 years.

They were removed so people wouldn't fiddle and change BASE IDLE SPEED which is a reference point the ECU requires

So what does the ECU do when you do adjust it? Threads I've read just say it's the same as holding the throttle open a little bit.

I've found bike is better if idle is set a little higher than the manual says, - some guys put it as high as 1400, saying the tacho and speedo are both inaccurate. <i></i>

[Timj]

I'm not talking about a huge difference in idle speeds here guys. I dunno maybe tis just me but if it drops a little below 1k rpm it feel and sounds terrible. 1000rpm or a tiny bit above the idle seems to be a lot smoother. I only posted the info in case someone was finding the same.

Perhaps now I have the K&N filter fitted I sould give DynoTime a call and get her booked in for a tune. I will give Kevin a call and see when he can fit me it. the bike has 9000km on it now and save for the gearbox shitting itself at 6 weeks / 2400kms it is just starting to loosen up.

Apart from the filter I also picked up a GI-pro/TRE and thats all since buying new.

So.................the plan is to retrofit ( put back) something that Suzuki took off to keep you tinkerers from tinkering


TINKERING WITH ZE BASE IDLE SPEED IS VERBOTTEN !!

[Throwdown]

This goes against loads of threads that say it's no different to holding the throttle open a bit.

I do remember some engineer guy saying he thought suzuki put this on the 99 and 00s because of something that kept throwing the idle out, unlike the ZX12, so maybe the post 00s don't need it. <i></i>

[BUSGO]

I sometimes suffer the same symptoms that TimJ is getting.
I do have the stock adjuster and have had to use it about 3 times in 2 years.
His description is accurate. If the idle drops below 1000 RPM, the bike does not run as smooth across the rev range.
I have noticed that if you take a prolonged run above 200kph, sometimes the idle does not return to what it was set as previously.

[Timj]

Ahh, 200km/h over long period, you got 4 more gears to go Bugso

I guess the same can be said for everyone thats fitted a TRE too,retro-fitting I mean

<i></i>

[BUSGO]

AHHH! Six gears, yes I've used them all.

Somehow I find myself above 200kph nearly every day.

Don't get many chances to cruise there for long though.


Don't you wish you lived near here.
