I have an 01 busa with about 14k on it. all was good until it fell over and broke the clutch lever completly off at the master cylider. I replaced the master and the line and the bike rode fine for about 2 miles and then the clutch started to slip. i replaced the slave cylinder and put in a set of track king clutches and still the same thing. after just a few minutes of riding the clutch start slipping to the point where it wont even pull the bike. ive ordered a clutch mod kit with heavy duty springs and a slave support bracket. if this doesnt fix the prob i dont know what else to do. any ideas? i need some help
clutch is still slipping

What kind of oil are you running ? Doesn't sound like a master / slave cylinder issue. Those items disengage the clutch when operated. If it was working well before the off and you haven't changed the oil, then for get my question.

How was it bleeding the clutch after all the change?
The clutches on the Busa are wet and using the wrong oil can cause this. That's why I asked. The oil is fine.
I am not certain of this...but when there is air in the line it does not fully disengage...the clutch pack will pull a bit while you pull in the clutch lever (or a broken slave cyl) Like at a traffic light
It sounds like the clutch pack is slightly lower (stack height) than needed. It may be worth the time to drain the oil and take a look inside...make sure all the parts are in there and in the correct order. The slipping sounds like burned up fibers...but since you just replaced them that should not be an issue.

I do not think so...some are thicker than others...some people just throw in the steels and fibers without following the service manual order...here is a link https://www.hayabusa.org/forum/engine-performance-mods/111239-clutch-replacement.html

Since the bike fell over and broke the clutch lever I am assuming the lever was installed improperlly and not fully disengaging the clutch making it slip.
I don't what other problems were induced if any during your complete clutch rebuild in the process.
I would throw the oem clutch pack back in and focus on the clutch lever... bushing etc.

I mentioned the brass bushing in a Pm to him, to make sure the pin of the master cylinder is lined up!
As far as the clutch pack, the last fiber plate needs to be turned one notch in the basket compared to the rest of the stack!
