What Did I do????????

[02spool]

I would!
Not cheap but, no worries makes up for it.Never heard of this prob. after 03.
I have an 02 with the ti-sleeve and am hoping to not run into this senario!???

Commuta, always wondered if this support worked ok? I guess so.

Can I get the TI-sleeve from the dealer?

Don't see why not. They carry them for other bikes.

a weak battery can cause this king of carnage. Also if you let go of the start button before the engine starts on it's own can cause this. The older Gen 1 busa start gears were susceptible to this. 03 had a change to the start gear assembly.

Bingo

you can get the ti sleeve from some of the site sponsors and other places as well. Yes, I would suggest replacing the starter assembly with 03 or newer. Talk to Goldenchild he might have the pieces lying around or can get them at a fairly good price.

owch ,good luck with the fix, that makes me want to do the mod more so

Sorry to hear about the damage. Atleast you should have time to have it fixed by the time spring gets here. You've reminded me that I've got to do the started upgrade...I did $2500 in damage last May to my '99 when the timing chain tensioner failed, don't need any more problems.

maaaahnnnnnn....reading this post reminds me of the days i drooled for the busa but it was plagued...debugged by 03...which is what i finally bought.

I really feel for you cipher. That sucks big time.

For those worried about this (and maybe you should be with the earlier model Gen I's), suggest you look at something like this sold by Schnitz (and maybe others).

Case Protector, Starter Kickback, Suzuki Hayabusa

Ordering mine Monday...thanks to everybody for the ideas/info! I feel for you Cipher, hope the repair goes smoothly.

just to give some fyi info: https://www.hayabusa.org/forum/busa-mods/106830-ignition-cover.html

I now have the Ti sleeve (I had this already which helped prevent case damage), I added the solid pins from Brocks, and added a billet cover. The cover isn't necessary.
