If you check the dates you'll see that this problem has been verrrrry ongoing. Basically from the day I bought the bike nearly 3 years ago.
So I've finally done it. Chucked the internal filter and torn out the screen from inside the fuel pump, and replaced with a $6 inline filter between the tank and pump, and a tiny mesh filter between pump and fuel rail. Test rode to work today(100km) all seems great. First time in 6months with absolutely no hesitation between gears or spluttering on deceleration. So now will hopefully never have to open the pump again. Total cost(not counting $55 o-ring kit for pump - they couldn't sell me 1) was $12. Both filters are clear for easy viewing/checking and can be swaped in a couple of minutes. I will let you know as time goes by how it all goes! <i></i>

I agree with Poh.
All our Busa's owners, are recommended to steer clear of Optimax. When Optimax was first released we had alot of guys comming back with fuel pump and filter problems. This sometimes occurs with BP's high octane aswell. When running other fuels, the problems no longer occured. Jason <i></i>

MattC. Everytime I've called Suzuki Australia they have talked shit. It's a disgrace the crap they come out with, and quite insulting. Whoever I get the phone doesn't even seem to know that there is a bike called a Hayabusa around. Ignore them, honestly.
A stock bike needs bog standard unleaded fuel. Generally, I would say Optimax isn't a good idea. If you own a '99, try and get it up to '00 spec around the fuel clogging problem or get a '00. A '99 is for those you know what they're doing or have a big wallet. <i></i>

Hi Jes,
It's been over 15,000 km since I changed the filters to the external ones and all has been good. It's just starting to surge a bit now, so I'll change the filters this w'end and check/clean the return screen. Since losing the internal screen and filter, the bike has never let me down - nice change from the old days of it just dying on the freeway or in traffic. It should take me about 10 minutes to change, cost under $3 and I won't need to split that bloody fuel pump and fuss with those o-rings. It's definitely worth doing. PS. plod caught me yesterday. . . again!!! Gore Hill expressway in the breakdown lane. It's gone up to $127 . . . bugger! cheers, WARD <i></i> |
