I Bought the Cheapest Hayabusa I could find 

I was having some issues with the audio I do apologize. **Wheels are sold

Contact the guy and ask him if he's having trouble with his ex girlfriend. Looks like sabotage to me.

Regardless of the condition that price is something you can’t pass up no joke can’t wait to see what you do with it

We need to setup a gofundme to get Vasily a truck already. Love your channel bro. Your my favorite RU-vid builder

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!!

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

No half measures with you vasily! can't wait to see what you drop it in but just be careful bud it's a beast of an engine

It’s either sand or sugar and someone didn’t like the guy…you might want to clean and strip that whole motor before you do anything with it and check every crack and crevice!!

As far as welding the machined parts bolt a stainless steel bar across the opening and weld against it till the hole is fixed it should give you a fairly flat surface for a gasket

I'm hella surprised u got that bike in a Honda Odyssey 🤣🤣

Vasily, I think you will have no problem getting the engine running once again. You have the skills!

Enjoy all your content from the scratch built from the ground up projects to your ripping around on your wicked creations. That said it’s super cool seeing you rebuild engines and this busa rebuild is going to be a lot of fun to follow. Okay keep up the good work!

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).

I hope you can get parts put it all back together and get that motor running love to see what you do with this and the frame love the channel keep up the great work

Well its up to personel taste. I think the bike looks dope with the fat rear wheel and the custom exhaust and chrome stuff. Looks really sick, but I understand what you wanna do with it. Looking forward to it.

Don't hurt yourself man your builds keep getting crazier 😂 love your videos keep em coming

this is going to be a most interesting rebuild Vasily ,will be a real treat to see where you go with this.best reguards from new zealand.

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.

Awesome video, love your stuff man. Keep em’ coming.

I'm interested in this project. I bought a new '06 'Busa too. Still have it. A fantasy has been to use the motor for something wild. Probably never will.

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.

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.

I've been working on Hayabusas since the first one made in 99, they are amazing engines. There are lots of good parts there to use or sell, but do yourself a favor and get another engine, that one is toast. Don't forget, the Buss engine has no sleeves, just coated aluminum bores. Those motors are plentiful, don't waste a bunch of time on that one. On a lighter note, I wonder how much of that bike isn't stolen? Lol

No matter what happened to that engine I have no doubt you will get it back up and running. Anxiously awaiting to see what you will build to put this engine in.

awesome vid man. good luck on your build. first bike I took down all the way to bare frame was a old school gold wing. fun times !

Homies ex girl for sure poured sand in oil fill 😂

Maybe the engine can go into a classic Mini Cooper? Good luck with it, catch you on the next one.

I was wondering if a mini van could make a bike hauler lol. That's a clean bike even if it needs work, definitely not a rust bucket! Looking forward to your builds, I subscribed!

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

This is ganna be a epic build for sure. Keep it street Vasily, we really wanna see you smoke that supra😂

You seem to know a fair bit about rebuilding engines so maybe this is a moot point but yummy noob has just finished his turbobusa‘s second rebuild because the first time they used the wrong pistons. Something about too high of compression pistons. Anyway can’t wait to see what you’re up to because just what you’ve described sounds awesome!

Bro, first time I ever seen a full size motorcycle loaded in a mini van, I subscribed just for that. Nice work and beautiful bike Sir!

nothing brings me more joy than a new vasily video, much love my man!!!

Good buy! Great content! Sick ideas bro keep them coming!

In the hands of a patient man.. It can be fixed. 🔧 Will be fun to watch.. 🏁😎👍

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

Flipped sparkplug socket and an extension works for the front axle, too

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.

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

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.

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.

HELL YEAH BROTHER!! Now THAT is going to be fun!! Its going to be interesting to see what is in the oil passages... definitely got sabotaged.. I just hope it didnt get into to the cams or the transmission! Make sure you do a Complete Teardown and clean out ALL of the oil passages to make sure you get all of the mystery rockery out... could it be sugar? Oof.. I didn't say that. Either way BAD ASS project Vasily!! Got my fingers crossed for ya!

Gotta love the plastic chrome frame guards..what a state that poor thing is in. Good to hear you're putting a stock swingarm back on it. Good luck.

That’s exactly the same way I removed the front axle on my triumph. I just used a flange nut for one of them so the socket stopped at the first nut.

God bless you sir! Love to see this busa work!!

My guess is the previous owner was bouncing off the rev limiter out of gear and the engine gave up. The filter probably caught whatever the sand like stuff is from getting into the engine.

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.

Looking forward to the epic project you’ve got planned for this monster! Drop that motor into an aluminum jet boat, and hit Cleatus up for a collab’! Keep doing what you do!

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)

Wow, that thing is thrashed! Hope you can get it running again.

That will be an awesome motor can’t wait to see what you build! There’s a guy limitless builds that is making a turbo hayabusa Willy’s jeep that might give you some ideas

Hell yeah to picking up bikes in Honda Odyssey!!! That’s my designated bike hauler as well

Vasily Builds you have came a long way since you first started keep the Bike everyone needs a Sports Bike

Ole Vasily is a busa boy now... I can't wait till he's a boosted busy boy I'll be watching closely for your next few videos!!!

Just from the title, just be safe!

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

I own a 2007 hayabusa recently got it tuned getting ready for the summer. I also have a 08 zx6r. I love riding.

Smart car with this engine. I can see it now and I know you can build it!

Chrome don’t get ya home!! Love watching the channel dude!!

I believe the first 1 minute and 20 seconds , can be translated as, Previous owner ran the crap out of it, blew it up, and now its for sale.

I would say this engine was absolutely thrashed while waiting at traffic intersections.

I am patiently waiting for a new Hayabusa upload... good luck bro!

You can make that money back just by selling the rims and tires. You have a goldmine on your hands and if you part the parts you don't need

I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a motorcycle in a minivan before 😂

1:16 - The precise moment you got ripped off.

I like the exhaust! I like big bikes they last better if you go easy on them! Everything bigger and tougher.

You got the skills bro love you’re Videos ✌🏻

Great video and looking forward to the next one.

Good job man! I’m interested to learn about motorcycle mechanics did you went to school for that?

Cr500 swap? Just gonna send it on that rebuild!! Great vids!!

Sabotage is the best theory. Ground glass, silica from a sand blaster or road junk. Any one of those foreign substances are the culprit. As long as you were going to tear it down anyway, it’s a moot point. Looks like it’s going to be an exciting build.

i bought a 2004 busa and paid 4k has no problems and runs strong and it has low miles. You won’t regret it man

I wish all the luck in the world, you might want to look at some of Allen Millyard's videos where he makes a 2 cyc bike engine into a 4 cyc engine maybe you can see how he does blocks...

I'm crossing my fingers that you'll take that long frame and turn it into your own leaning reverse trike! Good luck buddy

Sweet! This project is going to be awesome!

Some valves are hollow and filled with sodium, so maybe the sand you see came from the valves. Just an idea worth looking into.

I love how y’all got that bike in a mini van. HELL YEAH

I parted many of those 1st gens, I have the whole stock bottom end of the engine in my garage, been sitting for over 10 years 2005 model.

actually got what you paid for ,, cannot wait to see the rebuild

You have a hitch on that vehicle. U-Haul rents a motorcycle trailer for $16 and it makes bringing bikes home so much easier. I brought 2 bikes home recently and used a U-Haul trailer behind my minivan both times since it gets better mileage than my truck and I didn't need the truck since bikes are light.

Sombody dinden't like the guy 😂😂😂 great vidéo man🇺🇸🇫🇷

I know you can handle it. I can't wait to see the next episode..

Front wheel was kicking up sand off Road and threw it in the whole

This bike is some project . I am glad your bringing it back to life

I have a complete Prostreet spec low compression engine with non intercooled turbo set up. “Stage 1” would be the easiest way to say it. Made 380 on 30 psi on C16. Can provide more details if interested.

Looooove the content!!! thanks for posting.

Seeing u break down that bike with basic tools and no lift, it reminds me of myself doing the exact same thing decades ago. U have a very bright future ahead of u if you chose to continue doing this. However, it would do u good to invest in new equipment. If u can. It makes the job a lot easier. Also, at my shop…. We build engines for racing or jus simple rebuilds. I would recommend that u NOT try and weld those holes. Even though it would work for awhile. It would best to just purchase another bottom half and top half. Also, u need to measurements of ur crankshaft and connecting rods. Hope this help. Good luck to ya

Guy down the street from me has a Datsun B210 With a Turbo zx14 with over 400 H/P The thing rips. He Rally cross races it in PA.

Can't wait to see this build

Im really looking forward to this build.

I would fix it and run it as those were some mean bikes back in the day. There are crashed bikes out there with engines that still run so you should be able to find another block for it.. I remember people putting those engines in cooper minis back then. You can part it and make your money back and then some if anything. Good luck.

Hmm.....honestly, idk if this is likely, but what if that sand looking stuff is from that stuff you put in radiators to fix head gasket leaks? Maybe some of it got pulled into the combustion chamber or bottom end?

Suspect! The bike was sabotaged! What you pulled out of there looks like it wasn't there long. If you can successfully remedy that engine, you are the man. Alas, best of luck man!

Used to do a lot of track days back in early Y2ks on my 1999 Yamaha R6. Anytime I saw a chromed up bike that was going to be in the same track session, I would make sure to get out in front of them as so many of them crashed and caused other people to crash. I'd lap them after 5 or 6 laps (Summit Point, WV) but would jump in the pit for 30 seconds to stagger again as I never wanted to approach a turn with any of these non-riding chromed out stretched swing arm dummies.

19mm hex keys are pretty available and inexpensive. they may have over revved it and blew the motor...and from sitting around sand got into it...or it was laid down in a sandy area after it blew... Marine Crankshaft does great work on crank repair.

The neighbor got sick of the engine noise and slipped in a handful of sand!

6:48 "that's smaller than the other hole" LOL :)

I've heard of sand put in fuel tanks to destroy engine's, but sand added to gearboxes that's a new one. I'm thinking it would sink to the bottom of the casing and most of it would stay there with the engine running. Maybe cut open the oil filter to see if it was circulating through the engine.

I missed my bike so much I had to buy another one I can't wait until Spring / Summer

Wow! That previous owner must’ve pissed somebody off because it looks like somebody dumped something in that motor
