Dyno tuning a Busa

[trevor]

Today Nancy (Member here) invited me to watch her get her bike Dyno tuned. Very cool! And speaking of cool..Nancy just turned 60 and this is her 2000 busa. She also has a 2008 busa!! Coolest woman I know!!





Here is Nancy's supermodel/with the fan shot...lol

dyno's are great fun. it can be very daunting sometimes watching a really powerful bike revving its nuts off and doing 100+MPH standing still

She said the speedo indicated 280kms in fourth at redline (11000rpm).

Nancy has not one, but two 'Busa's?? She totally rocks!! I think I'm in love!! Is she married or has a steady biker-boyfriend??

Was she happy with the 161.6 hp?
A shop near me is offering a dyno run for $40.00 for the local Vintage Club. Usual cost is $80.00. With my '81 CBX i am hoping for about half what the Busa did.

That was before tuning. I had to leave and I have not heard yet what the final number was. She did say that it smoothed out a flat spot and that she is very happy.

BUSA Tune

Very Awesome... she runs like a dream. I've had it dyno'd a couple of times over the years, but never had to ride it on the dyno myself. Hey, Trev... thank YOU, for getting the bike on this (basically non bike friendly dyno), and for you and the boys to stand outside... while they said "helmet" and hopefully spinal protection. Ok.
They pointed out the holes in the ceiling that had come off a drag bike tire.
Well, what ever. Anyroad, you guys couldn't be there. Left me with running the Busa in 4th from 2 g to redline, multiple times. Er, that's 11g and in 4th, (and apparently true miles), 280KPM. That was pretty cool. My dear old beastie is everything you'd want in a weird old bike that is probably the most civil and delightful beastie to ride... EVER. And I do keep telling folks that... that you have to have a Hayabusa. Ask Trevor... he rode my 08, and it's close, just not the 2000. :-)

Final number...

165.7 at around 9500rpm. Very sweet. And yes, indeed, Chris got rid of some of its ugly spots. I am a very HAPPY biker, and totally recommend 5252 Motorsports.
Amen.

I could say you may want one, but after you ride one, YOU WILL WANT ONE, unless you are Tevor (just kidding... I know he wants one). There is only one.

Yup!! I had one, a blue and black '02, it was AWESOME!! But I was weak and had a very hard time resisting it's temptations. That bike was constantly urging me to do illegal things and it made it ridiculously easy to do them. It was like riding around with the devil on your shoulder saying "go a little faster" and I had a hard time saying "no". I had to sell it before I got myself into really big trouble with it.

I thought my 1166 sounded like a rocket ship on the dyno. Bet the busa made some sweet music.
