However, if you are in this situation, it’s essential to stay calm and safely pull over to assess the issue. It could be a simple fix or require professional assistance, but the key is not to panic and worsen the situation.
TTS Performance
And that’s what happened to Team and TTS. In any case, is precisely what just occurred to the TTS Performance team.
They invited Chris Northover from Bike World to test the SuperBusa on a drag strip and see its capabilities. The video begins with footage from two angles showing the precise moment the bike lost control.

It can be a frustrating experience when a vehicle breaks down unexpectedly, especially during a test run or when trying to set speed records.
More information makes it easier to determine what went wrong with the bike. However, it’s not uncommon for high-performance vehicles to experience technical difficulties during extreme use.
Mechanical failure
It’s possible the bike experienced a mechanical failure, such as a blown engine or transmission issue.
In any case, it’s fortunate that Northover could safely bring the bike back to the pit area without any injuries or accidents.
The team at TTS Performance will be able to diagnose and repair the issue to continue their testing and performance improvements in the future.
The problem in this scenario is related to the exhaust system on the Hayabusa needing to be designed for use with a supercharger. The modifications made by TTS Performance allowed the supercharger system to work on the Hayabusa, but the exhaust system could not handle the supercharged engine’s increased power output.
Exhaust
Specifically, the exhaust system was designed with a naturally aspirated Hayabusa, which typically produces less power than the TTS SuperBusa with its 372 horsepower output.
As a result, the exhaust system could not efficiently remove exhaust gases from the engine at higher power levels, which likely caused a decrease in performance or other issues.
To solve this problem, TTS Performance may need to modify or replace the exhaust system on the Hayabusa better to handle the increased power output of the supercharger system. This could involve designing and installing a custom exhaust system or sourcing a pre-made one intended for use with a supercharged Hayabusa.

They will be back
TTS Performance experienced some setbacks during their testing but is committed to fixing any issues and getting the SuperBusa back on track. It’s great to hear they are willing to invite Bike World back for another look once the bike is ready.
For those in the UK interested in seeing the SuperBusa in person, the MCN Festival of Motorcycling in Peterborough on May 13 and 14, 2023, is a great opportunity. We will include the event link in our sources for easy access.
