got smoked by another busa and a zx-10

riironman, if you have a power commander then make sure you get it custom mapped and run it on the dyno. I have a 2002 Busa with 10,400 miles on it and it ran like a different bike after I got it mapped. The power they found was unbeleavable. I have the Yoshimura Slip ons as well.

(Greg B @ Oct. 22 2006,16:01) Yes. Having the carbs out of sync will make a world of difference.

I see the problem -- someone stole your fuel injection and put on carbs  

I thought I'd be the only one to notice...

Well, I'm not in complete agreement here with the rest of the responding board members. I agree a tune up will help, but I am willing to bet you have fuel delivery problems. My mechanic told me before I bought my Hayabusa that they are known for fuel filters only lasting about 15,000 miles and that I should be ready to change mine before that number. He even pulled the fuel filter out of my friends Busa at 8,000 miles because he didn't want any restrictions once the turbo was installed and guess what, he figured there was already a 25% restriction in fuel flow through the fuel filter.

Check the fuel filter!

The ticking noise that your are hearing is most likely the CAM chain adjuster, which btw is automatic. Some guys have swapped out the automatic with a manual cam chain adjuster....

I like the idea that it's just something bad azz about the 06. For your sake though, I hope you get things figured out. Think of it this way. If it weren't for that race you wouldn't even know you weren't at full steam. At least you have a great place to bounce ideas off of some veterans.

good point d-bol..but i knew i lost power but didnt know how much until i rode a complete stock busa.
