Duel Throttle Calibration

[Suz#5]

Forgive me If this has already been covered in another forum, I had a good look and could not find anything.

I am almost up to 12000k`s on my K8 and was looking at my service book.

Can anyone tell me what is involved with calibrating the duel throttle body as I am worried about who to let put there grubby little fingers on the Beast.

Many thanks in advance for your time and knowledge.

Just my opinion but a 1 year old bike used for a roadie shouldn't be needing any balancing unless you are having problems or are after some power enhancements, extra smoothness etc.

(Unless of course, someone has been playing around with it).

Well Ray i saw 1st hand the other day that they can be out.
The Manual says check balance at 12K mine was at 14K & not yet a year old & no sign of running poorly BUT they were out of sync.
Now that the gen2 computer has more control simple jobs are no longer able to be performed by the owner or non Suzuki shop unless they have the SDS(they wont sell you 1 & its like $1400) tool which lets you over ride the system.

So be warned if you go screwing round with anything you may end up with more problems than when you started.

Granted that they can be out of Sync of course but a little out of sync is not a big issue.
I guarantee that most riders would not notice any difference unless they were going from very bad to spot on.

Yes a little out of sync is not harmfull nor noticeable ( not all bikes from factory would be spot on either) BUT the whole point of doing a service on them by the book is to get them spot on why settle for less.

Theres a lot of riders dont notice a lot more than just out of sync TB's

Are we to rely on the vendors on this site to be the only people who should have an opinion?
As valuable as they are, there is sometimes an alternative.

Everyone knows that if they want the best out of their bike, they go to the best available service centre and this forum is a good place to ask questions and find the people they are looking for.

Over servicing a busa is a waste of money in a lot of cases. They will run fine for many years and stay in top condition without any real big bucks thrown at them for work other than is really required.

Generally as far as a hayabusa is concerned, if it ain't broke, you don't need to fix it.

The go faster crowd will of course always be looking for more. There is nothing wrong with that.

No there not the only ones to have opinion Ray & yes there is sometimes an alternative & guys are free to listen to whom ever they want BUT in this case when they have the current info/ facts/tools/ knowledge & exsperience Id go with what they have to say.
Hey Im no one but ive had a few busa's & worked on others & i learnt something new After seeing the new SDS tool in action 1st hand on my bike the bottom line is you cant do a lot of jobs yourself now as the bike detects if your trying to chance things/ problems & over rides your adjustments.
I had fault codes in the bike which i didnt know were there
The idiol speed wasnt within spec ( no other way to alter unless through the sds tool )

Yes servicing gets results out of a machine, Yes they dont always require it & will run for years but isnt thats what general maintenance is all about.

Knowing how suzuki like to get out of things the biggest problem i see is the whole warranty factor if your NEWBIKE isnt serviced by an authorised dearler/ workshop & a problem occurs you'll have a hard time trying to get it sorted.

This isnt a pissing match Ray or about pumping up any 1 vendor over another its about just trying to inform the members with correct information

No pissing contest here Shane. I've made a couple of simple statements that are quite correct.

I'm sure that you and Oh Dear know a shitload more than I do about the tuning of a busa.
You said yourself that you didn't think that you had an issue untill you were shown that they were out of sync.

That in itself justifies my opinion.

If people are lucky enough to find a good service centre with all the right tools that are used as they should be, they should support them as you are.
Unfortunately they are few and far between for most of us.

I think Busgo should start up a tune shop....

Ray this is exactly why I pushed to have transparency with moderators on this site. Your opinion is valued and 99 times out of 100 is correct helpfull/informative and exactly what people want/need to hear. The one time out of 100 that you are not correct you kick and fight to defend the indefensible. Mate when you are wrong just say Im wrong.

Getting a bike set up to the best of its potential, setup right so that everything is spot on and running as designed is hardly only needed by the go faster/drag/track crowd. EVERYONE wants their bike to run at its best be they a weekend potter or a trackday junkie. Right is right and close enough is just that.
