G'day one and all,
Richard, As for the flapper valve, I suppose what Suzuki was trying to do was a simple form of the current dual throttle valve used on the 600/750/1000.
What it is supposed to do is increase the air speed at low throttle positions, and by doing this in effect creates a better responce from the motor.
However in the case of the Busa, the motor can deal with large amounts of air easily, due mainly to the efficency of the the whole package of cam timing, compression and head flow.
So in essence the more you let it breathe (to an extent) the better the result will be.
As with other mods, like the BTL, Suzuki really stuffed up. You see it only on two models, the TL1000R and the Busa. If it was so good would you not see it on the 1000 as well? To date there have only been glowing reports when the BTL mod has been done and that's even if it's a TLR or a Busa.
Regards Col
