Make sure they get the bottom end off throttle well sorted up to & past 5000rpm . Back end when I road Dave's lacked enough Rebound damping , Eg run out of adjustment before I could get it to where I wanted it to be . Front felt Mint as excellent feed back even when pushed & good plush ride when in town . Gearing I dropped mine one tooth which transfomed the all ready excellent bottom end that GSXR's have into a Beast out of corner's 3rd gear power stands on throttle , that all aside tho speedo out 10k's now so would need a Speedo Healer if ya wanted to get thing's but to normal . Could get you Settings off Mates front end that I did for him if keen ? Hope all goes will ya Dyno run . Friend got his done at Garry Pendiltons ? GP Trading Very Impressive 7hp + Top end , 4 + Bottom end

Thanks man. I'll let you know how I get on.

Nice one man, you're goona love the GSXR till death do you part (long time from now that is)

[kiwifruit]

ooooh i do, i do!

its completly insane, yet perfectly sane at the same time, if that makes sence...
i will miss my old oil boiler tho *sob*

Do the TRE mod, you won't regret it. Mu ha ha ha ha! Honestly, put one on myself last night and response in first is just unreal now. I'd go as far as saying the std power delivery in first is 'soft' compared to an unrestricted version.

[loosebruce]

know what you're saying mate, i'm selling my TL now but i'm going to miss it badly, even though i've had the GSXR for a while (long enuf to kill it too) but am looking forward to getting it back on the road. But it's no TLS

sounds good onearmedbandit, however i dont think i will be doing any mods to this bike. Ian from bayride has done all that for me! Muahahahaha
yoshi cams, flowed head, full yoshi zorst etc etc 165 at the wheel im told!
far too much power for me (at this stage)

Congrats Oil Burner, that's a great buy.

I know that bike and it's a fucken weapon (175hp at the rear wheel!), belonged to Ian, one of the mechanics there and it's been well looked after.

I looked at it myself and it's a mint bike with alot of work done to it, but it was a little more than what I was wanting to spend.... please don't tell me you got it for under 12000 or I might cry, that woulda been a steal!

[emaN]

bring it out to Kawhia with us lot on Sat!!!

be a good chance to get used to some of those ponies!

[kiwifruit]

Kawhia sounds good, if this weather gets better.......
2much, i paid 10k for it (with my 90gsxr750 as well)

Ahh yeah, me and my K2 thou with end can and filter only will slink back into the shadows now. Shit, that must be a lot of fun to ride.

BTW, nice parking. Now to convince the wife that it is compulsary for GSXR owners to park their bikes inside to be admired while not being ridden.
