G'day one and all,
After discussing the various options with all sorts of people, a date has finally been set.
The date is Feb 24/25. I know it's been a long time since the original post was made, but in all honesty it started to get out of control. It now seems i'm in no cortrol at all, well that's what it seems like.
We have the kind assistance of Wynns Aust. who will at no cost, chemically clean the injection of all the Busa's that turn up. A Metallurgical consultant who will discuss the finer points of how to make the most of your motor. And at this stage some other interesting people are to come on board. More on this very soon.
Numbers will have to be limited to say around the 20-25 mark, so you will have get in quick. A post on this board will secure your place for the first 20/25 in.
Look forward to the responses.
Regards Col
Very generous of you Col, though, for my way of thinking, it's a long way to go for a dyno tune when I can get it done locally, and I'm sure there are plenty of others who will jump at the chance to participate. Might be a good way to spend a weekend though. If I hadn't just had mine dyno'd today, and if I had the time for such a trip, I might have taken you up on it, but it's running spot on now anyway. Not quite 176 horses, but then I still have the stock exhaust on.
I hope the day goes well for you and all involved.
hi col,
very generous offer and should be a great day,,
unfortunately, other commitments will prevent me from attending this time, but i hope there will be more offers in the future,,
it might be an idea to try and arrange an accommodation deal with the motel at the complex next door and post the info here,,
good luck with it all, if there is anything we can do to help from here - just holler,,
cheers

So Col, put me down, plus another Busa as a very likely.
Not much of a response so far. I thought people would have jumped at the chance for a free blast on the dyno. Obviously you all seem to have enough HP already
G'day one and all,
Come on, can't you guys do better than this. I won't bleed as to the cost of putting this on, however the replys so far make me wonder.
Post before the 11th, for those who wish to attend, or tell me if your not interested. It will save me a lot of time and money.
Regards Col
I'll try to be there, going to put a leave form in at work tomorrow if it get accepted I will be there...just a busy time at work with our export orders falling behind.... But I will let you know in a couple of day if i can get there...
Count me in Col, I'm there with bells on.

WHERE: 10 TENTHS Motorcycle Performance, Unit 4A, El Toro Business Estate, Homepride
Avenue, WARWICK FARM (SYDNEY) NSW 2170.
Warwick Farm is on the northern edge of Liverpool, in the south-western area of Sydney, about 8km off the F5 Freeway from Melbourne and Canberra. From the north, We are one block north (that’s towards the City) of the Cumberland Highway (Route 7) - Hume Highway junction. Enter the El Toro Estate 100m on left past traffic lights on Homepride Ave. We’re in the middle of the front row of units facing the Hume Highway, past the motorcycle wreckers.
FACILITIES: This is a dedicated motorcycle workshop, not a luxury conference centre, so it’s
plastic chairs and concrete floor. We have toilets, coffee-making facilities and ‘frig.
There is a very good food shop at the entrance to the Estate, open from 8am-12MD on Saturday only. Sam does a full-on ‘truckies’ breakfast of eggs, bacon, sausages etc for $6.50. The El Toro Hotel-Motel is adjacent, which has the usual pub stuff, EFTPOS and some food.
ACCOMODATION: You might try the Formule One motel chain ($59 room for one, two or three
occupants) at Prospect (crnr. Cumberland & Great Western Highways) – about 30 mins ride away; the Lansvale Caravan Park (10 mins) or a couple of caravan parks further to the south, around Narellan/Leppington we believe. There are plenty of motels along the Highway ‘round Liverpool.
CONTACT NUMBERS: Phone (02)9602 9714; (0419)98 5668; fax (02)9821 1719; e-mail
tentenths@ozemail.com.au. E-mail is not necessarily checked regularly, though.
The Guts of it All…
…is an opportunity to learn more about your beloved beast and hopefully address any problems you might have with it, depending on time and numbers.
Mr Peter Shields, a specialist in fuel injection with Wynn’s Performance Products will be in attendance and speaking on Saturday 24th. Peter has been with Wynn’s for many years in very senior positions, knows a great deal about current petrol formulations and has developed a fuel-injection cleaning kit which we have trialled on a number of Suzukis. He is a long-term performance enthusiast, lover of fast cars, bikes and motor racing and a very entertaining speaker.
Mr Steve Hooker, NATA-accredited NDT metallurgist, drag bike racer and current road-race sidecar owner, will be speaking with regard to some of the engine internals of the ‘Busas. Stuff like metal strengths and compositions, gearboxes, shot-peening, piston technology. Steve also has a background in chemistry, fuels, highly modified motorcycle engines and aftermarket parts.
Colin Linney, joint owner/manager of 10 TENTHS, drag bike racer for 30 years and holder of 11 National drag racing records, will be speaking about the strengths, weaknesses and idiosyncrasies of the Hayabusa. He will be available to answer as many questions and address problems as time permits, including operating the dyno (free of charge) to correct running problems. The latter will be primarily on Sunday 25th, with preference to those who have distances to travel. Problem-solving does take time, though.
There will be no-one selling anything, the weekend is open to any Hayabusa owners of good faith and we hope to have a lot of fun. We also hope the weather is kind, so that you have a good ride and that the factory and dyno room are not too hot. If there are enough people, we may look into providing food (at a nominal charge) after the Estate’s shop closes. There may be some Streetbike magazine involvement too – their schedule is tight at the moment though.
Please let us know your intentions, right up to the date, so that we can cater as best we can with chairs, space and refreshments. We hope it will be informative and practical for you and look forward to meeting all of you. It would be preferred if there were no politics and no alcohol consumed on the premises during proceedings – make your own arrangements for Saturday night though!
RSVP by Wednesday 21st February if you can, for your own comfort.
Cheers,
JULIA LINNEY (PARTNER – Administration)
P.S. If there’s anything I’ve missed, just call and I’ll try to help. Travel safely.
