Sorry if it looks like I'm ignoring advice, he's told me it might or might not be a problem, but it thinks there is one, it's not catastrophic, and so I asked how you do the dealermode thing

Is that a normal flat spot between acceleration?

And before I do something stupid - I know that it's a performance bike, and I know the harder you ride it the less time between tunes or rebuilts and posible breakdowns, but are you suposed to use the entire gage for riding hard?

I hope wbks doesn't get offended... but I carefully read the first post, read it to my boss, we're both laughing our arses off, and I would like to nominate the thread as best of '09.

You knew nothing about 600's, but bought the Suzuki, then seem to ignore the advice of those that have been through all this years ago?

You're also asking about riding hard? What have you upgraded from?

Follow 98tls's link to the gixxer forums, and start reading...

i know its not "riding hard" but by that I mean 250+. Not fast, but i wudnt call it easy on the bike. was just wondering what the done thing is, but sorry for not impressing your boss...

**AllanB** · 5th June 2009, 20:26

I might keep an eye on this thread..

**wbks** · 5th June 2009, 20:30

Fuckit, found the problem, and it's fixed, but feel free to entertain yourselves

**Taz** · 5th June 2009, 20:31

So elaborate on the problem and the fix so others can use this post in the future.

Talked to the guy I bought it off and it's just a powercomander he left in it by accident which apparently makes it give that readout. Now it's just take it out and give it back to the dude next time I see him or what ever...

Any other tips? Thanks

Quite normal I think to have flat spots in acceleration...though you'd think the PC would've sorted that...My R6 is gutles till about 9 grand (like riding a "normal bike) then starts pulling like...? till about 12, then goes ballistic till 14500.....revs more than that, but its dropping off the torque curve.
70 degrees sounds about normal operating temp,& dont worry if it gets hotter as a fan will come on. Mines been up over a hundy in town..
Its a sports bike Bro & dey luv a good thrashin...its wot they be made for.
It'll rev high cause thats wot they do, but no use in taking it in to the red.
Mine'll rev to 16500, though I dont do it often as like I said earlier , its past its peak power then. Funny thing is , the more you ride it the more you'll get used to higher revs, & the more often youll be up there 'cause that where it gets interesting.
Get the manual Bro,& find the right Forum on the net...you'll learn heaps.

Cough cough... Are you kidding? That dude has taken the time and expense to install a power commander! It involved dyno tuning the bike, at least it should have. It should make your bike run better than standard. You should be a lot better off KEEPING the power commander and ignoring the error code rather than giving it back to the dude...

The R6 pootles around up to about 8k. Then it picks up speed. From 10k onward it rips a hole into the time space continuum.

Out of interest i wondered about when unplugging a power commander does the ecu need to be 0d?Ive a Yosh box which you can do such a thing on ie my TL but have no idea on whats required with the power commander.
