So in a couple of hours I’m buying this 2005 GSXR-600 with 29k miles and I need to know what to look for, in the video the bike was running and it sounded pretty smooth. He has it up for 3,500 but I feel like I can get him to 3k. And it has a clean title. This would be my first time buying a bike so I’m not 100% sure what to look at
Hello,
I’ve been riding my GSX-R750 for about a year, and the front brakes have always felt weak. They’ve been usable on the street, but never what I’d consider good.
So far I’ve:
Swapped the calipers with another GSX-R750
Rebuilt the master cylinder
Installed braided brake lines
Had the master cylinder recall performed
The recall helped a little, but the braking performance is still far from where it should be.
I recently took the bike to a track day, and it failed tech inspection because of the brakes. I’m planning to get back on track in a couple of weeks and am looking at my options.
Before I spend around $400 on a Brembo master cylinder, I’d like to know if anyone has successfully done a direct bolt-on swap of both the master cylinder and calipers from a newer GSX-R model. I’m trying to determine whether there’s a more cost-effective OEM upgrade path before throwing money at a Brembo setup when the master cylinder may not even be the root cause.
Any suggestions or experience would be appreciated.
First thing I had to do was remove the 20 year old oem tires!
Recently bought a 2006 gsxr 600 and the first ride the dash turned off and on 3-4 times. Not all the way off but the needle rest along with all the gauges like it would upon initially starting bike. The bike itself stayed running through my entire 15 minute ride but as soon as I turned the bike off it fully died. Tried to turn to key to on position and there was absolutely NOTHING. I just replaced the stator and rectifier together yesterday 6/29 and this problem arose today 7/1. Really really confused where to go next.
See attached video of my idle, not to sure what’s going on, boots and vacuum hoses seems to be okay, used carb cleaner to try find a leak. What’s done to it is a tune, exhaust, I’ve done spark plugs and just cleaned the air filter and I’ve done the timing chain tensioner and new oem clutch. Has great throttle response and ride ability. But I can’t get it to stop bouncing on the idle and when I hard break and clutch in to come to a stop the bike will some times die. It has no problem cranking right back up but I have no idea what it could be. Bike is tuned for 93 and has only had 93 gone through 4 tanks of gas and it’s still like this. Also decent amount of back fire(could be the tune), idk who tuned it IPS is set correctly as well and I have 0 F1 lights. This is a colder start. But took a second to crank, runs better when warm and starts faster. Any Ideas, this bike has a kickstand by pass btw so that doesn’t effect me in gear unsure if that matters.
Worked just fine last night on my way to work. Dafuq?
So here’s the story never posted or anything before just at a loss for what’s going on here.
I usually ride with music however one day I decided to ride without music and heard a noise from my bike that I didn’t like, (I have my redseal for automotive not currently in automotive as I now switched trades) I’ll post a video of the noise, at idle it sounds fine, no weird noises then around 2500 and higher you get a ticking noise, my best guess is that it sounds like something with the valve train I looked online before this and everyone was saying chain tensioner which I thought was basically impossible with such low kms.. but I put one in just because, I put a manual one in however didn’t do anything. I checked head bolts and flanges, it doesn’t change when the clutch is engaged. I thought maybe possible injector knock but got shut down quick as I put my stethoscope on the injectors and it sounds fine I drained the oil and filter everything looks good there’s no shavings or anything out of the ordinary, I thought maybe a broken clutch basket or plate however the noise sounds like the centre of the engine.. could be up top next step is likely to pull the valve cover and check clearances.. ( I’m not particularly easy on this bike I do ride it hard and there is clutch up wheelies involved however it gets serviced very often ) any input is appreciated.
Could anyone please help me figure out what this piece is?? When I bought my bike it ran like shit. I swapped throttle bodies with my cousin and it ran like a raped date. I bought a used throttle body last night but I want to replace the things I can ( injectors stva tps ect ) but I don’t know what this is and it’s driving me literally insane. Google is no help and chat gpt is no help!! Any help is appreciated
I wrecked my bike a few months ago, car came into my lane, road was wet and tires weren’t great, I went outside on a curve (speeding definitely played into how bad the bike is) hit the paint and ate straight curb. Bike and I were airborne then slid about 40-50ft? Mainly grass. Is this thing salvageable? Bike ran fine, turned off since it went sideways, and since the stator case cover and clutch cover were shaved open oil has since slowly drained but hasn’t been turned on. I put the keys in and miraculously the rear light turned on. 2006 GSXR 750, 17k miles (photo at end shows how she sat)
2023 gsxr 750
for context i got into a accident and got metal shavings into my oil pan so im trying to remove it to clean it out, in the process i came across two bolts that are super hard to get to, ita getting covered by my kickstand and the surrounding area(gonna put pictures) does anyone have any idea how i can get those off without having to take apart the whole bike. Thanks! Also i used a flat wrench, a flexible socket extension, and a regular ratchet.any help would be appreciated
Developed this knock yesterday after a ride. Only had the bike for a month. I onow theres a leak in the exhaust. You can hear it clearly at the end. Any ideas i’m pretty concerned.
