NinjaNick Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 They're not selling anymore 08 busas because of a problem with bikes shutting off at 160mph. Supposedly this is nationwide. Can anyone confirm this? Is this true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NinjaNick Posted May 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 I don't have a source. Another site I'm on a guy with a turbo busa posted it. So he's not trying to stir shit because he actually owns a busa.I just was curious if any guys here have heard anything.I guess it's an problem to where it thinks it's hitting the limiter at 160 indicated.Looks like there is something going on though from what SlowBusa just posted.

r1crusher Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Don't know if it's true but Turbo810 just had his bike dyno'd by Brian it it ran over 177MPH and didn't shut off. I'll text him to see if he's heard anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaNick Posted May 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Some '08 owner on another board said it was just being sent back because "ignition switch wire needs to be rerouted."Gawd, rumors! I want the documented truth of what is going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zerocrash Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 I just sent an email to our Suzuki rep about this, so we'll have an answer soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zerocrash Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Some '08 owner on another board said it was just being sent back because "ignition switch wire needs to be rerouted."I got an email back from our Suzuki rep and this ^ is (mostly) accurate. The wires need to be inspected, then possibly rerouted. The recall bulletin has not even been sent out yet so as of now it's not really "official" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zerocrash Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Fuck, I just got the damn recall. "the ignition switch lead wire may be improperly routed resulting in a loss of electrical power and stalling of the engine."I wouldn't actually care except another member of this board is supposed to pick up his 08 busa from us today...

Dweezel Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 I like the hump, it's stylin, plus it gives me lots of room to store shit! and, you would know this since your on a Cowie, It keeps my ass from sliding off the bike when you nail it! I like the cyclops headlight, It's a motorcycle, you want two head lights, get a car. Sorry mang, I just can't get over the snake looking, hole in the head front end, and the Ferrari gills on the side kill me too. they look like their from the 80's... along with that GIANT ass 1 piece seat.
