Dont Rev a Sportsbike Recklessly - Hayabusa stopped due to overload.A Sportsbike is Great Power with Great Responsibility. Its a feeling of Rocket on land. So... the moral of this post is that, REVing superbikes is DIFFERENT that reving any NORMAL bike.These rocketmachines are designed to take you to SPEEEDS that just goes beyond thrill and CONTROL. And thiscalls for super sensitive accelerators.. just like power steering. So long story short, I was playingwith my friends new hayabusa (a limited edition one.. and happened to rev it too hard, which stopped the engine)// skipping the mental truma of managing to screw up a $$$$$$ machine //The problem is, the bike would behave as if its run out of battery. Needless to say, We needed help.There is a fuel pump primer controlled by a fuse which ensures that engine is running as long as things a manageable. If the ECU of the bike feels that your RECKLESS REVING is going to make thing bad then it resorts to blowing up this fuse (we call it relay fuse). Once this fuse is Blown, your Bike is safe from MAJOR MECHANICAL DAMAGE! God Bless that person of thought of this and installed that fuse in the first place, which helped us prevent a major ****.So this relay-fuse was the thing that was blown out and caused the bike not to start by cutting off the fuel supply.Replacing this fixed the bike instantly..I hope this info. helps any friend whose superbike is handled by a noob...Regards.Cheers!
