HELP PLEASE MY 2000 gen 1 Busa in pieces!!!!

[RedHerring]

Wow. Really?

 

[HRB]

Bro my bike was burnn oil a qrt a week and sometimes more depending on how I ride..

And this did not cause concern?

 

[icemansid]

Im going to guess crank, rods, pistons and block are toast.... Tough luck. Busa motors don't consume oil.... not like that.

**** happens its my 1st crotch rocket!!! and my 1st engine rebuild ill be back on the street ina few weeks mark my words with oil this time im learning

 

[swerve1]

The block is fine but yea everything else you mentioned is correct!!! And yes I was burning oil like that mostly from wheelies and blastin on the gas to here the purrrrr of the m4's. I also ride almost a 100miles a day 80 for sure on a normal!!!



I gotta question???? what type of rod bearings do I need if the code on the crankcase is

"BBBBB"
"W701 - 12124"

Suzuki Hayabusa Bearings

it depends on the rods... check out MPS - they can line you up. I know Schnitz and APE can help as well. I will have APE actually assemble mine. did you have a spun bearing? if so you really need to have the crank checked out.

 

[swerve1]

Why yes I did!!! spun the bearings took the crank n rods in to a local race mechanic, he said they was a no go, so we got sumn else cumn!!!

 

[icemansid]

new crank? the journals can be fixed - its not real cheap....

 

[SKECHE]

sorry to see this.....good luck with the find.....

 

[swerve1]

[swerve1]

Adding used same crank with rods no bearings!

 

[Poppy]

I just gotta know why you thought an engine that goes from 0 to 11000 RPM's didn't like oil. I haven't been on in a while cause I been doing my own thing with life and all but seriously, why? I can't imagine someone buying a busa as their first sportbike and letting her run without lube.......

Adding used same crank with rods no bearings!

Please take your motor to a reputable builder who has done Busa engines before. It will save you a pile of money in the long run. If the bearings spun in the rods the bearings are junk. Also did the mains spin in the cases?

 

[swerve1]

I cant help but still wonder.. the copper shavings I found wher did they come from exactly ?.... all the bearings on the crankshaft are silver!

 

[GoldenChild]

Take and shave the silver off of another stock bearing and you will see gold under it also.
