Paul,
I know that you are new to the Hayabusa so there are some things that you should know about the 99/00 models.
1.
They came out with an automatic cam chain tensioner that did not work because it was not lubricated sufficiently.
Suzuki did three recalls on the tensioner to get it to work properly.
The last of the recalls was to run an oil line to the rear of the tensioner housing to supply oil under pressure to the tensioner.
If this recall was done, there should be no further problems.
EXCEPT, that when the tensioner is moving between set points, you get a bit of a rattle for a short time till it adjusts.
2. If you had a rider handbook you could read that you must warm the Hayabusa up at between 2000 and 3000 revs before riding it for 30 seconds to build up the oil pressure within the engine.
Even though you can fire it up and ride away from idle, there may not be sufficient oil throughout the engine to lubricate it properly.
3. The external fuel pump on the 99/00 busa is subject to a lot of issues that are covered in other discussions in the Technical thread and are too complex to explain again here.
I suggest you spend a lot of time browsing through all the technical threads to find out what is not "NORMAL" about the mighty BUSA.
There are many other special "FEATURES" of a Hayabusa that makes owning one "UNIQUE" in motorcycling.
