K6 GSXR750 won't idle.
~27k miles.
Owned for 20 years.
Never laid down.
This morning I started the bike and it idled for a few seconds and then died.
Gave it some throttle and it would start and seemed to rev OK, but as soon as I let off the throttle, it would die. To get it to start again, had to give it at least 1/4 twist.
I thought air filter might be plugged (happened once before), but that wasn't it. Even with no air filter, still struggles.
I filled the tank earlier this week and have put about 35 miles since. I was originally thinking bad gas, but maybe not. I'll probably drain the tank anyway and try some fresh fuel.
It smells rich, or at least very stinky.
I checked battery voltage when it was running at about 4k rpm, it was sitting a little above 14v.
A few times this summer, when cold starting, it seemed inconsistent. Sometimes it would idle a little low, but never died.
No FI light.
I haven't had a chance to look at it too much other than the air filter and voltage.
We're getting towards end of riding season in MN, but would like to figure it out before winter storage.
Some things I plan to check.
Fresh fuel as mentioned.
Fuel flow test
Vacuum hoses.
Plugs (only about 7k miles on them)
Thoughts?

Suzuki Bandit 650 2016 (non-ABS)
Hey guys!
I recently bought this 2016 Suzuki Bandit 650 (non-ABS) and I just wanted to know more information about this bike because I found out that the info on this year model is pretty scarce.
I’d like to know the following:
- What K engine is this? (K5, K6, K7)
- What motorcycle does it share parts with? (Especially oil filters, fork seals, etc)
- Are there any available digital owner’s manual for this bike specifically?
- Other helpful information
- Owner experiences
Excited to know more about this bike!
Cheers 🍻

What am I buying?
Any SP or DR nerds on here? I found this that I'm viewing in a couple days to buy but I'm confused what I'm looking at. I thought it was an SP370, but the side panels say DR. From research that was an off-road only variant but, this has lights, Speedo and mountings for pillion pegs? Even has the controls for indicators but has no indicators. also can't find anything with this colour scheme for either
bike online
So wondering if anyone recognises this spec, paint scheme etc and can shed light on what it might be!
To add to the confusion, it has a GN400 engine swap, so maybe the lights and look are from that?

今夜3台偶然が重なったからyoutubeの雑絵をしたよ。
近くで事件があったみたいでパトカーと救急車が行ったり来たりしていたので、撮り直しになるかもだけど、、、
この写真だけでも充分だろう？

GSX-R600 K6 rectifier issue
I just bought a 2006 GSXR600 and after only a few hundred km I had it die mid ride with the dash speedometer dropping to zero and losing power before eventually cutting off and not starting back up. I replaced the battery on the spot with a new one which died 30 minutes later, same issue while riding.
I read online that this model is known for a failing rectifier which causes this issue, previous owner said he replaced the rectifier but did not mention a new stator, how likely is it that the stator was bad which causes the premature failure of the rectifier and quickly draining any battery I put in? Is there anything else that could cause this issue that I could be missing?
I’ve already ordered a new rectifier with MOSFET technology and plan on relocating to the side of the bike for better air flow and lower temperatures.
Does anybody have any recommendations for a stator or am I best off ordering OEM (€400) vs aftermarket (€200).
This seller is claiming to be selling OEM directly from Japan for much cheaper than other sites which are mostly coming from United States.
