Resistors

"The resistor mod involves removing the clutch and various bits and pieces, digging into a sealed sensor unit then removing the CORRECT resistors."

I have not heard of this one at all - I am curious. Even though you did not do it yourself (did you? the implication was that you didn't), how did you find out about it? What is the resistor - what is accomplished?

I like your highlighting of CORRECT. I probably wouldn't try a mod like this on my own, and I would still question if I had pulled the correct resistor - hey I had someone knowledgable with me when I did the pink wire mod, just to reassure me that I had the CORRECT pink wire

Anyway, if you could enlighten me further, I would appreciate it.

Richard,
As BigMac says, contact the person who did the work, Boss. Hope that helps.
P.S. Sorry to hear about your misfortune with the Busa. Hope it turns out OK.

So far, have managed to replace/fix most parts myself (external and cosmetics I am willing to attack on my own). Footpeg today, and it is rideable once more.

Among other things I have an electronics engineering backgoundand one of the first things I learned was that you don't playwith that about which you have no knowledge.

The removalof the resistors is fairly simple as far technique is concerned.The problem is that there are more than just a few of the littlesuckers in the potted module and you REALLY have to know whichones to remove. (for the uneducated - "potted" simplymeans that once the electronics are placed in the module, thewhole lot is filled with epoxy resin to keep out moisture amongother things).

Digging into this epoxy can damage associatedcircuitry, break adjacent wires etc., and, unless you know exactlywhat you are doing I suspect you run a very real risk of degradingperformance rather than enhancing it.

Think aboutit for a moment. You are removing some inputs to the ECU. Unlessthis removal is compensated for by adjusting the onboard computeryour ECU is going to be screwed up. So removing the resistorsis only step number 1. You need to remap the computer to getthe maximum benefit. To do THAT properly you need a dyno.

Pretty simple really - IF you know what you are doing,then fine. I don't in this case so I took it to one who does.Hope this clarifies matters a little

Good to hear about your bike going back on the road dude. SoI take it nothing else was damaged besides cosmetics?

No, I came through very clean, and very lucky.
