Picked up the new ride today. A nice K6 GSXR. Blue and white this time though. (Didn't like the red/black one anyway), and I can tell y'all its damn good to be back on a bike again. I cannot believe how many times I have spanked my monkey over the past 3 1/2 weeks. Damn near burst a blue vein I did. Anyway, big thanks to:

Lumley for paying up.
Lumley again for actually insuring me, again
Welly MCs for sorting out the bike and not letting any other cunt buy it while I ws fucking around with insurance forms.
Mrs Jimbo600 for putting up with my bleeting. (And self gratification V8 noises)
Mr Steinlager for a beautiful brew!

Congrats Jimbo,
Is it safe to say you have swapped the tyres for something a bit more suitable to your riding style.

Jeepers, that was quick. That's the quickest turn around from trash pile to new bike I've ever heard of.

Well done that man.

Well done on getting the replacement wheels.

Classic blue and white is good. A powder blue motogp race replica paintjob would be nice but wouldn't suit your new riding style and would clash with Deano's bike.

29th June 2006, 09:24

Awesome. Glad ya got a different colour J600. Didnt really like the black/red.

Nothing wrong with Stradas btw :psst:

I nearly suggested he get a Telephonica Moviestar (how apt) CBR600RR.

Replica's are cooool.

Now that would be nice. But I'm a shallow fucker with no imagination so blue/white GSXR it is.

That would've been you on the "Part ta newie" roundabout yesterday after lunch ???? I had been over to Greytown for breakfast . Watch the Piecock surface these mornings if it looks damp it can freeze in the shaded parts. Gaz.

1st gixxer - 1st service

Hello mate. Yeah the red one didn't last long aye. At least I can say that I am the first person in NZ to write off a K6 600. Blue/white is a much better colour anyway.

He popped round my place yesterday to give me a look see at the new bike... looks mint with that new glittered paint scheme, nice colour to the wheels, and a flash of Crescent Suzuki blue in it. Apart from the Euro bikes, that there is a pretty smart thing.

Hey jimbo have either of your models have fuel injection issues, a number in the USA are having it.

Yeah been seeing that. No issues with the either of the K6s I've had. They can be a bit choppy at very low revs but I believe this is more to do with the slipper clutch coming in and out. Apart from that no FI light issues. Must be an Ameracano thing.

Cajun

11th August 2006, 09:34

yeah could be the american model per say,

have ya got the tre on that might fix the low revs never know?

awesker

11th August 2006, 15:09

while where on the k6 buying topic, does anyone know if we get k6's in the white and silver scheme? only info Ive got points to that they're only in the states, i hope im wrong cause they are hawt!

The_Dover

11th August 2006, 15:13

Colemans have a paris hilton edition 600.

Fatjim

11th August 2006, 16:29

No issues with the either of the K6s I've had.

Maybe they need running in first.

Check out this website regarding running in an engine:
http://www.mototuneusa.com/break_in_secrets.htm

This is how we run in aircraft piston engines, mineral oil and run it HARD and change the oil in the first 20 odd kms.
