Had the GSXR11 for a while now and have done 3000km, it had an oil and filter change when I got it.
Did a change today and found something that looks cool.

I am thinking this is not standard... is just a new fancy cover being cool that no one will see or does it mean more?
had the bike for a while, usually like to do yearly changes but this slipped away but its been 3000km since I purchased it.
Now brought a book for each bike so I know what has been done and when.

Also worked out NEVER ask what oil to use, its like asking what tyres are best or who's a better root, fat or thin.
There will be no clear answer.

Always (In all such cases) ... ask yourself if you believe you are getting value ... for money spent ... ;)
The answer WILL be clear ... :innocent:

What a great post.. agree.
Me are thinking, average oil, changed frequently and better than when the bike was made.

As a teenager, I was lead to believe that women from the east had boxes that went horizontal not vertical, oh to be a apprentice again. Cost $120 to find out that was wrong.
Many years ago just in case you asking.

Buy a hospital bed and convert it, much cheaper than a lift bench

Aaron you should be getting all the trick bits coated by HPC in Mahia rd, should make the bike at least 10kph faster when sitting still.

Busted the oil filler cap and ordered a new one, dam thing was black not the same colour as the original engine.
Looks like I may have trouble finding the right colour cap.
Mind you I could paint the new one.
Moral of the story here is don't use an adjustable spanner when undoing a tight oil filler cap...

Certainly plan to HPC coat the exhaust as the coating is getting thin / old / corroded, don't want to try and buy a new exhaust. No rust yet!
Have to say I love this bike, goes great.

Time to get the Yoshi exhaust re coated.
Gone with ceramic coating from pro coat, waiting for it to be finished.
The muffler had bugger all packing left inside, need to find some new stuff.
Any ideas?

and after some hammer use and a weeee bit of grinding.
297945
297946
not seen these on an exhaust before.
297947
297948
and this what was left of the muffler packing.... no wonder it was loud.

The bits you haven't seen before are quite common, balances the pulses between the exhaust headers for some technowizardry reason.
Usually done a bit tidier than that, maybe someones home job...
Measure end can length in inches then search the online bike stores for exhaust repack kits, go for a pillow one, so much easier.
Yoshi side covers available as commonly as the exhausts.

Ive seen them like that on stock bikes of that era, held on with little springs.

those little cans are what makes a Yoshi duplex exhaust system so good in the mid range as well as the top end range.
Have you found the rest of the baffle tube?
