Project Trizuki

[Baatfam]

Eric.

Due to the bike being in such a state, the ECU probably de-charged causing it to loose all of the presets on the map. There is a learning curve to the ECU as far as once it re-sets, you need to go out and ride it... full warm-up/full cool down, 3 times. It will then learn all of the O2 settings and such.

It sounds pretty good other than the low-end studdering, which is normal for a de-tuned ECU.

Do yourself a HUGE favor.

Download TuneECU, and get yourself a OBDII cable. Plug your bike into the computer... you can reset the TPS, modify the fuel maps, download free aftermarket fuel maps, and change your O2, Trims, and IACV (idle air control valve) settings.

Before going crazy... visit Tom Hamburg's website, you can download TuneECU for free, and all the maps...

Follow ALL the directions, and read EVERYTHING. It's pretty tricky to get started... but once you do... it's like second nature.

+1 for all of the above. Make sure the OBDII cable is usb. The old com port models don't work with TuneECU. You MUST install the com/usb driver that Tom has on his site or it won't work.

One of the coolest things about owning a Triumph is the freeware ECU mapping...

Recieved the pair of straight Triumph rotors for the front wheel yesterday...

Still undecided whether to use the Busa USD front end or not with the Triumph parts. :-k

With the help of one of the moderators and a forum member at a Triumph forum,
I found out that the Hyabusa USD forks are not only a near direct drop in replacement for the bent stock Triumph forks,
they also do a great deal to improve the front end and slightly increase the spring pressure as well.
The upper TT is from a TL model Suzuki.
So, it will become a Trizuki after all and my spare GSX1100G gets its forks returned to it.

Parts should be here in about a week. :dancing:

Update:
Fork kit is due to arrive Monday!
Wish it was sooner. I can't wait to get busy.

thats a sweet bike good job on fixing it!, its going to look awesome with the busa inverted forks too.

 

[7981GS]

Time to get back to work.

Today, I got the "Busa in the box."
Doesn't look like a five minute job but, I will get started at least!
New steering head bearings in a box to install, switch TT's, forks to switch out to another bike, etc.

First off, let me apologize if I have been doing what I hate the most about this site and making it into any other motorcycle forum on the web.
My initial intention WAS to install this engine into a GS 1100E frame.
After finding out on the Triumph site, that it was on up-grade to use the SUZUKI Hyabusa front end on it, well things change.
And the seating position, humongus (sp?)brakes and single-sided swing-arm sealed the deal!

If I knew how to make a poll, I would.

The question would be: "Do you want me to continue sharing this build on this site or should I stop now?"

If someone could do that for me, I would be thrilled.

Anyhow, with what might become my LAST post on this build, here is what I got fabed-up tonight.
I need to find longer grade 10.9 Allen-head pinch bolts for the TT's and make some spacers for the front axle ofset.
I am still waiting on the Hyabusa fender to go with this.
It kind of looks like it belongs on the Triumph and increases the front spring rate by 100 pounds.

Someone, please make a poll for me as I don't want to destroy the GS-ness that belongs on this site.

The old steering head bearings and races came out without too much difficulty with a 18" round punch and a few smashed fingers.
The installation of the new races was a piece of cake by using a 3/4" drive 1 and 3/8" deep socket to drive them in.

Keep it going Eric! Its a real blast to see the Hollander interchange of the motorcycle world unfold in real life. For me - if its got two wheels (heck even 3,4,6,8,18) bring it! Love the 'busa front.

 

[Tim Tom]

I like the thread. It's the right sort of ludicrous . Keep it going is my vote

 

[rustybronco]

Keep the thread... it's a build.

 

[chuck hahn]

Keep the thread Eric...in this far and noones biitching so stay the course.

I'd rather read about Triumphs than Gay Marriage.... :lol:

 

[Matt-Indiana]

Wicked cool build.......thanks for sharing, and please keep it up ;-)

Got another heads-up from a gentleman on the Triumph forum.
He said to use the '06-up GSXR 750 fender rather than the Hyabusa one as it looks cleaner and only requires a little mounting tab added to one of three mounting points on both sides of the fender.
Of the over 200 on Ebay for sale, I found one with a tiny scratch for $21 delivered!
It is supposed to arrive before the end of the month.

I'd rather read about Triumphs than Gay Marriage.... :lol:

I'm struggling to find a difference between gay marriage and Hinckley Triumphs....

They stopped making real Trumpets when they packed in at Meriden (though some purists might say they stopped in '51).

And fair does to Les Harris for keeping things going.

Received a '07 GSXR750 fender today to add to the mock-up situation.
I still need to get the correct length bolts for this and that including the calipers.
I need to cut part of the Hayabusa fender mounts and make adapters for the fender.
I got the wheel spacer situation under control and test fit the parts.
The axle and spacers are just in for these pic's.

That shouldn't be too hard to take care of, and it looks like it belongs there!

 

[JimmyR]

Wow. I love it when a plan comes together. I also love it when you find out that stuff from different manufacturers fits together. Cool!
