I Bought the Cheapest Hayabusa I could find

I bought one of the cheapest suzuki hayabusa 1300cc sports bike for a project. What parts can we save from it and how bad is it? Did i get screwed/scammed?

[@cnote3492]

neighbors got sick of him doing burnouts in his driveway and rev bombing them every day so they took care of the problem.

[@MrArcticPOWER]

Doesn't make any sense. The gas tank is locked and there's no way this much sand or undissolved sugar would go pass through the fuel filter. Unless the guy stole the bike, disassemble the tank/air box/throttle bodies, poor the sand/sugar directly into the engine, assembled everything back then brought it back, your story doesn't make much sense.

[@MrArcticPOWER]

More probable story: The engine blew for whatever reason, then the bike got pushed or towed and the front wheel threw some sand into the hole.

[@joejones2272]

I definitely think the tiny hole happened first and it still ran. dude said fuck it and kept riding it till it got to much road debris and threw a rod. cant wait to see what you do with it tho!!

[@eyeballengineering7007]

The hole has to come from somewhere. When shit goes bad enough inside an engine where it starts poking out the case, it's not likely to keep running.

[@BenaresDarkness]

@@eyeballengineering7007 Yeah I agree it definitely would not be running still.

[@holdernewtshesrearin5471]

Dude said it was making "pumping sounds". Maybe a minor low side allowed a rock etc to bust the case but think that's unlikely. The holes were in line as if a rod suddenly decided it needed fresh air. It's possible to injest road debris in a crash so maybe the bike blew and then went down or atleast off the road at speed causing the foreign matter intrusion. Idk. It's very suspect but if it was introduced into a working motor there would be signs of it everywhere, not just in the pan.

[@mw5673]

Definitely sabotaged...good luck with the rebuild on the Busa! Can't wait to see the follow-up on it! :)

Very interesting episode Vasily I reckon almost definitely sabotage. Hopefully sand not able to get through oil pick-up. Price was honest though... Just have to get bearing clearances data regardless of matching halves. Lining up crank bearing caps, you should see if anything looks off when you take head off engine(looking through).

my theory is they blew a hole in the block but the engine still ran so they said fuck it and kept riding, dirt got in the engine through the hole and eventually the 2nd hole happened

[@McKluskie]

if the hole was underneath it could simply be sand / dirt of the road which was blown into the whole, he will have driven it a fair distance before it completely tanked. It not sugar though as it not sitll be crysalised. I guess there is a chance its sabotage but I think my first guess is more likely.

[@jewboy761]

Hole

[@peterbarnes2845]

Id guess the bike slid down the road, wore a hole in the engine cover picking up sand and other road junk. Travis swapped out the engine cover with the hole in it with a new one and didnt bother to clean the debris out first.

Great and Motivating to hear!

[@Stefano_B.]

you can cut the oil filter and see if there is more sand or whatever

[@eyeballengineering7007]

That's almost a guarantee. I would probably replace the oil pump too. It has to have been thrashed. Hopefully, the filter caught everything and the bearing journals aren't absolutely wasted everywhere. It should have. But, there is a bypass on almost all oil filters after they get plugged up to bypass the filter guts and make sure the bearings don't starve. I've never cut a sport bike filter apart for some reason though.

[@Stefano_B.]

@@eyeballengineering7007 yes of course, I was just curious to see how much sand was trapped inside the filter

[@supertedogpriken]

you are 100% correct. Somebody put a handful of sand into that engine. Probably somebody that did not like those short muflers and was sick of all the rev bombig and shiny chrome from that bike. Good luck rebuilding the engine. Cant wait to see a "big" turbo on that engine.

[@nickbowers6144]

I don’t know if anyone has said this already but a good way to tell if it’s actually sand in the engine is if there is actually an air filter in the filter box.

[@njmxjunkie3128]

The whole thing with case half’s being machined together as matching pairs is mostly a myth. I’ve ordered case half’s many many MANY times on eBay individually and only had an issue once and still was able to make it work with some gentle machine work…. Castings these days especially from Japan are done to such tight tolerances and so many are made the quality is unreal. The likelihood of you having an issue with buying a spare half is slim. Also I think the engine either threw a wrist pin, or they where beating the balls of it doing burnouts with a crazy hot engine and the big end just let loose. It’s more than likely dropped a valve and ruined a head aswell.

[@philopinoladyboy1576]

Sport bikes cases are nothing like dirtbike cases.there cast as a matching set due to clearance reasons. Just like you can’t replace cam caps with other cam caps off another bike cam caps are clearanced to the head it came with from the factory . Blow that bogus advice up some one else as’s. A dirtbike case can interchange on every brand but Kawasaki. Kawasaki is the only one that cast matches them as a pair. Has to be a matching set with Kawasaki. Honda ,ktm, Yamaha, Suzuki sells both engine sides separately so obviously they don’t cast match

[@karlvanboxel561]

With all your experience can I ask u have u ever had an issue with out of round or tapered main bearing bores I’ve measured up three sets of cases if FZ 750 Yamaha ones and they all have the same prob ( no brg shells in ) any recommendations on fixing the prob besides binning the cases btw all the engines were runners Can I ask how u plastigage your brgs and crank do u measure two sides at once or one.

IF that is sand in there and the bike was purposely sabotaged - Oil pump will be scored, MOST of the bearings will be gone, the HEAD will be trashed where the cams ride in the head- basically, all junk

[@MrGsxrme]

Toss the entire engine and find a new donor engine. You're going to have debris everywhere in the oil journals and possibly all the way up to the heads damaging those cams. It is absolutely not worth your time and money to restore that engine

[@Majxsticc]

[@Laurentzyu2001]

usually on suzukis, you can see if the crankcases are matching numbers by removing the left engine cover and then the flywheel, the codes are right there; and as far as I know, motorcycle crankshafts can't be repaired as they run on very low tolerances(less than 0.004mm, that's like 0.00015 inches)

[@RDEnduro]

Oh yea you can rebuild cranks, you need a press and good measurements like you said and more but people do it. clearances will be different for different models and manufacturers but I would guess you measure it before you take it apart and see what it is.

[@siraff4461]

Be very careful if you rebuild that engine. If thats sand, glass or whatever its going to have gone through everything. Getting it all out will be almost impossible (especially from coolers/etc) and even the smallest piece left will destroy it again. Not something you want happening when you've got something capable of 200mph+. Get another engine and sell the good parts from this one - it will pretty much fund it, save you a heap of time and you're less likely to die.

[@nickbaddorf2673]

Sweet! This project is going to be awesome!

[@Crewsy]

If Suzuki builds engines like the ones I build at work the lower block has its own number possibly from an outside supplier and once it’s mated to an upper block that has its own number it will receive a new number for the machining tracking. So it’s not surprising to have multiple different numbers stamped/punched/etched into the various castings. A numbers matching engine just means the numbers match the build sheet, not each other. You are correct about the parts being machined as a set. You might get away with replacing one component but chances are it won’t work without getting a shop to line bore the journal’s.
