Because of the high speed and

overwhelming power that the

Hayabusa delivers, the performance of

the swingarm is extremely important.

Its combination of strength and

rigidity, while allowing comfortable

suspension movement and ensuring

good traction, helped to win the

Hayabusa a reputation for ease of

riding compared to other super

sports bikes.

Remove the pre-tted nut from the end of

the rear axle.

Hold the swingarm the correct way up,

with the side shown in the parts photo on

the left facing down. Test-t the axle by

inserting the end from which you removed

the nut into the hole at the end of the arm.

This stage is now complete. Make sure

that the nut is screwed back onto the end

of the axle so that the two parts don't get

separated, and store them away safely until

they are needed again.

The ats at the end of the axle match the

straight-cut sides of the hole, so to t the

axle into the hole you will need to turn it so

that these match up. When you have made

this test t, remove the axle and screw the

nut back onto the end.

Use tweezers to peel sticker A from its

backing sheet.

When the sticker’s position is correct, press

the rest of it onto the swingarm, moving

smoothly from left to right to ensure that

there are no creases. Then remove the

masking tape from under the front of the

sticker, and stick that down as well.

Sticker A received with this stage will be

placed in the blue-shaded area.

Place some masking tape in line with the

front of the blue-shaded area shown in

Step 4.

Stick only the front (left-hand) end of the

sticker onto the masking tape. Then it will

be easy to adjust the sticker’s position by

simply moving the tape.

Locate any leftover casting ash or burrs

around the holes in the swingarm, such

as the one circled, and remove them

with a le, as they may prevent proper

assembly of the parts.

Your parts

The subframe of the swingarm is

above the main part of the swingarm,

and so is less visible when all the

fairings are tted to the bike. The

subframe on the actual bike is welded

to the swingarm, to ensure strength

and rigidity. This area also houses the

coil spring and shock absorber, which

make up the rear suspension, and the

mudguard, which protects the internal

parts from mud and other road debris.

Mudguard

2.3 × 6mm self-tapping

screws × 11

Hold the mudguard and swingarm

subframe together, as shown.

Fit the two pins in the subframe into the

holes in the tabs on the mudguard.

SUZUKI GSX 1300R Hayabusa: Assembly Guide

Hold the subframe and the swingarm from the previous

stage, as shown. Identify all of the connecting points shown

in the photo above.

Match the positions of the pins on the swingarm to the

holes in the subframe.

Align the two projections at the end of the mudguard

with the two arrowed recesses, and the sides with the two

shaded areas.

Once you have aligned all of the points indicated

in the previous four steps, carefully push the subframe

onto the swingarm.

Push the mudguard onto the subframe to ensure that the

pins are fully seated in the holes.

Make sure that the two small projections at the end

of the mudguard will t into the two rectangular

recesses in the swingarm.

Loosely place 2.3 × 6mm screws into the

three remaining holes, then, following

the order shown above, tighten each one

halfway in. Following the same order as in Step12,

tighten the screws fully.

The swingarm is now complete. Make sure to save the remaining 2.3 × 6mm screws for

later use (you will need one in the next stage), in a bag labelled with the stage number.

While holding the parts together, insert a 2.3 × 6mm screw

into the hole shown.

Tighten the 2.3 × 6mm screw into the hole.Make sure the ends of both pieces have been tted

together properly.

The heart of the Hayabusa is

undoubtedly its engine, a compact

powerhouse designed specically to t

within the connes of the bike’s frame.

When the bike is covered in its fairings,

the massive 1,300cc engine is hidden

from view, demonstrating the high

level of attention to detail paid when

designing the bike. Though you won't

be assembling the crankcase just yet,

you can still appreciate its design.

Check the dierent aspects of the left

half of the crankcase, shown here, to

locate the circled screw holes.

To tap the screw holes in the crankcase, use a spare 2.3 ×

6mm screw left over from the previous stage.

Clean o any metal swarf that has been produced by the

tapping, so that the hole is clean, as shown above. Then

repeat the tapping process to thread the rest of the holes

circled in Step 1.

Insert the 2.3 × 6mm screw into one of the holes in the

crankcase, circled in Step 1. Turn it into the hole until about

two-thirds of the threaded portion is inside it, then slowly

unscrew it and remove it from the hole.

This stage is now complete. Tapping screw holes prior to

assembly can improve the way parts t together, and make

things easier later in the series.

Tap wrench

In this stage, you cut threads in the screw holes in the crankcase using a spare screw

from the previous stage. To make the cutting of threads easier, you can use a tap

wrench and taps to prepare the holes, rather than using leftover screws. For example,

you could use a 2.3mm tap in this stage instead of the 2.3 × 6mm screw.

A tap wrench and 2.3mm tap. Wrenches

and taps are available from hobby

shops, tool stores and online retailers.

Instead of using a tap wrench, you can

often use the cross wrench, which has a

hole that can be used to hold a tap.

With the tap securely held in the jaws

of the wrench, insert the cutting end of

the tap into the hole you want to thread

and slowly turn the wrench clockwise.

The tap will screw itself into the hole,

cutting a thread as it goes. Make sure

you keep the tap straight as you turn it.

The cross wrench is used in the same

way as the tap wrench: turn it clockwise

to cut the thread, and anti-clockwise to

remove it from the threaded hole.
