Gen 1 Suzuki Hayabusa Miss (Part 4) Magic Cam Timing?
The information in this video applies to many other machines - we are simply using a Gen 1 Suzuki Hayabusa as it's broken and readily available.
In Gen 1 Suzuki Hayabusa Miss (Part 3) Cam Timing, Brock painstakingly demonstrates his unique method of checking cam timing and documenting engine health. In this episode, he continues on with the installation of the cam chain, with the engine still in the frame, while also sharing his personal views/experience on related subjects such as manual cam chain tensioners vs. OEM. "The Best" camshaft timing/lobe center numbers and various other camshaft/cam chain-related topics.
With his Hero 8 Go Pro in hand, Brock is able to focus on the intricate details of this type of mechanical work on the mighty Hayabusa.

    I bought my first busa and it seems like we have the same problem. My busa is miss firing when I’m on the highway my bikes won’t go past 110mph it starts to choke up and won’t go any faster it seems like your a true professiona! it’s awesome I see a video m from someone who knows what they are talking about. Btw I’m definitely subscribing to ur channel. I look forward to your next projects, a little suggestion don’t over talk keep it was short as you can because alot of times ppl watching ur videos are in the middle of doing the same project and they might be frustrated and are looking at you for answers asap you help us all with fixing our own bikes and save of thousands of dollars 😅thanks again you will be hearing from me a lot lol 😂

    Alright... Went ahead and took the time to watch the entire video instead of just the short. So you spent the money and time many years ago to test exactly what I was just asking you earlier on the short. $375/day would be a good bit, especially back then. But it's also priceless info that you could apply forever more going forward. And it paid itself back many times over as now you apply that info to your business and product development, I'm sure along with the help of others as well, who've spent countless hours testing things to learn what does what. Engines are such a mysterious black art. The simple explanation is, that they're just an air pump. While true, they also require so much work to make power and make it work the best at the best rpm for what you're trying to do. Most people will just say, take these cams, put them at this and it'll make the best power. But if you ask them to explain why, and what happens if you do something different with them, they usually can't answer it... Because they honestly don't know. They just give you what worked for them with that combo and don't actually work to get better and make more power. Again, thanks for the videos. I make videos on my channel too and know how hard it is to be able to make them and edit them, and I mainly just do dyno and racing videos. Sometimes tech videos, but not many. This stuff is hard work... And you're making it harder by including multiple cameras and working one handed sometimes to try and include us in the process. So thank you and your crew for all the effort y'all put in to help us.

    Absolutely correct Brock it shifts the power from a tight set of numbers or a moderate or loose. I have a 82 gs1100 strip only and my web cams I degree them in at ex.106.5 and in.108 it works well for me.

Going to check out the TPS now thanks to you... Wow you really went deep in this bike.

    52:20 i found somebody in Berlin, Germany who changed the actualy spring of my 2001 Fireblade SC44 tensioner from standard spring rate to plus 20%, and it was alltogether just about 50 €. (I live at Nürburgring, Eifel actualy). And you are so right it makes for a clearly quieter engine/bike indeed. The two M5 of the tensioner are a little tricky to reach at the Blade. I built something custom for the job in the end. (Honda recommends to loosen/undo all engine bolts and lower the complete engine, i hadn't to that way. Time and money saved.)

    The Gen2 chain tensioner is a bit more difficult to "prep" before installing IMHO (need strong grip to "lock" it before installing it). Why did they change this from the Gen1? Probably to avoid the cam chain getting "sloppy". Excellent video Brock! Keep'em coming! 👍👍

    I remember they had some tensioner-related failures in 1999, so they quickly (and smartly!) upgraded the early units and incorporated the revised design going forward....and the Hayabusa's legendary dependability began as a result.

    shoulding the cam timing be set on all the bikes at the same position, because of stock cams, stock marks and sprockets. Im sure the stretch of the chain can influence it. Im curious..i guess you will explain more in the final episode. Cant wait!!

    I have a dumb questions about the cams. Are the intake and exhaust cams different or are they the same cam, but put in at different degrees? I couldn't tell if the cams were different or not. This was a great class. I bet my 929 needs a timing chain with 77k miles on the clock.

  • @BrockDavidson

    @BrockDavidson

    Жыл бұрын

    Great question! As a general rule...they are different. That said -- On the Gen 1 Busa, it was sizably restricted from Suzuki by reducing the exhaust cam lift and duration. A performance "trick" for these bikes is to install an OEM intake cam on the exhaust -- it netted close to 10 RWHP gain, all the way up the curve. Most bikes are about done with 77K miles, but Honda makes some amazing engines (if left alone/un modified) a quick trip to your local dyno can tell you if your performance has fallen off due to miles... or any number of other wear items.

    Yes, they are clearly marked IN or EX. That trick does not typically prove worthwhile in smaller engines as they are typically not restricted in this means. You would be far better served with a proper selection of bolt-on parts and a tune that allows the parts to work in proper harmony.

    Hey Brock, thank you for making the video. But I have to ask... As easy as it is to pull the engine, why in god's name didn't you just pull her out to do all the diag & repair? I mean the age of the bike between wiring harness and engine, wouldn't it be easier to yank it vs save some money on fluids?

    @Thomas Hock - GREAT QUESTION! It basically boiled down to time and lack of help. It was already a PITA to do it this way, one-handed...a full engine removal would not have been possible. Additionally, the last time I did it - I didn't have the problem removing the bolt or "video camera set-up" so it took me a little over an hour to do the complete job. Filming triples the time required to do anything - as these long videos show. This is not something we normally do...I hate fixing broke sh*t. If it was a Brock's Project, the engine would have been removed, repaired, and returned MUCH FASTER than it was previously. But that's not what this project was about.
