If you are interested in Flashing your ECU (things that can be done without the Dyno removing the timing retard speed limiters , making small adjustment to the maps) Boost by Smith sells a ECO flash Kit for $200. I just bought one for the B King. Dyno can get expensive, they Guy I use wants $80 and hour, since the king is mostly stock I am just going to de-restrict 5th and 6th and 2nd as soon atthe software allows.

guy locally posted up a dyno tune from johnny cheese for like $300, so for $100 more i could it mapped profesionally. wish more dealers would get into this, but it's less profit then a PC and dyno tuning.

Power is adequate.

Mine was 168hp stock with about 600 miles on it.

thought i finished off the remaining bolts, but the more you do the more you see you wanna paint.

so tom. i wanna paint the outer silver ring of the gas cap and maybe take off the brake bolts and ft axle bolts, also saw a bolt holding the rear brake line down that could use painting.......

ended up painting the 4 main fairing bolts, 2 on the ft fender i had missed, the riser spacers and the huge riser bolt heads.

Yeah I am taking the Busa down to Dracut Ma to DAC on friday It is using the PC and the Hahn MAP controled fuel rail. I have an estimate of between 300 and 400. I have to be Honest, Unless you have made some Major changes Dyno time is awfully pricey for a rigg that has an O2 Sensor.
Love what you have done with your Gen 2 BTW

right, thats why i;m having a hard time justifying a flash let alone a PC an tune, all for what 7-8hp and a "smoother" delivery. i dunno about you but stock the busa accelerates like a jet....

thanks, to cloudy and rainy to do any tinkering today.

Link?

Looks great! I really like that color scheme.

Amazing how much blacking-out the bits & pieces 'cleans up' the look of a bike.

You're a safety instructor, yet you removed the reflectors?
