I just had some work done on my '99 bus. I had a gutful of the hesitation in the bike when accelerating (through the lower gears especially)
Having numerous Hondas before buying the Bus I found the problem annoying and having spoken to several dealers the consensus seemed to be that it was a problem inherent to Suzukis and not much could be done about it.
As I found out yesterday - what a load of crap - removing a few resistors and enlarging the airbox has made a huge difference to the smoothness of the bike, increased the throttle response and improved hp at the back wheel to around 168 on the dyno. Beforehand it was around 149 - 151. As an added bonus I now get an extra two k's per litre in fuel consumption.
My bike may not now have a complete set of "emmission control fittings" but I bet the actual exhaust emmission measurements are no worse than before because the bike was running VERY rich in standard "out of the factory" form.
Anyone else had these mods done? Comments? Aside from new exhaust systems and turbos, anyone taken these mods further? Results?
