Your parts
The Hayabusa’s large-capacity engine
needs 3 litres or more of engine oil to
keep it running. The oil pan that houses
the engine oil is tted at the bottom
of the engine. As your model does not
need oil, this has become the housing
for the IR sensor, which connects the
model remotely to the base.
Tap the two circled holes in the inside of
the oil pan with either a 2.3mm screw or a
2.3mm tap. Place the IR sensor board onto the inside of
the oil pan, aligning the wires of the board
with the cut-out in the wall of the oil pan
(blue circles). Be very careful when handling
the sensor board – hold it by the edges only.

This stage is now complete. Store the oil pan and the screws until they are
needed again.
Align the holes in the IR sensor board
(circled) with the holes you tapped in
the oil pan.
Align the three mounting pins on the
sensor window with the three holes in the
outside of the oil pan.
Tighten the screw into place. Stop when it
starts to get tight.
Tighten a second 2.3 × 5mm screw into the
other side of the sensor board, then fully
tighten the rst screw to secure the board
to the oil pan.
Insert a 2.3 × 5mm screw into one of the
aligned holes, as shown.
Gently push the window pins into the holes
in the pan.

To increase the eectiveness of the
rear shock absorber, it was mounted
on a lever mechanism. This increased
its range of travel, making for a more
comfortable ride, without actually
making the shock any longer.

Place a 2.3 × 6mm self-tapping screw
(Stage 26) into one of the aligned holes.
Align the holes of the lever and shock
absorber as shown, and insert a 2.3 ×
12mm screw into them.
Hold the shock absorber lever, as shown.
There is a slight step around the circled
hole. Check the holes for any burrs and
remove them with a le.
The screw, lever and shock absorber
should now look like this.
Tighten the screw into the hole, and then
put a second 2.3 × 6mm self-tapping
screw into the other hole.
Tighten the 2.3 × 12mm screw into
the hole. When the head of the screw
touches the side of the shock absorber,
stop tightening.
Hold the shock absorber as shown in the
photo (note the orientation of the part in
the red circle). Place the non-stepped side
of the lever between the sides of the end
of the absorber.
Hold one of the shock absorber rods and
insert one of the shock absorber shafts
into the hole at one end.

The frame used for the Hayabusa
is a twin-spar aluminium frame. It
combined compact design with a high-
rigidity frame that was overwhelmingly
light, ensuring both stability and
mobility during high-speeds.

Wrap more elastic bands around the
frame assembly.
Turn the frame around to check the
positions of frame bridges A-C, making
sure they are parallel to each other.
Adjust the positions of the elastic bands so
that frame bridges A-C are parallel.
Place a 2.3 × 6mm (silver) self-tapping
