Hi I am planning to buy the Suzuki GSX 8R! Anyone here who owns it can you give a brief review of the sales part because local Suzuki dealers have no idea of it apart from Gixxers. Where did you buy? How much was on road? And any spare parts availability issues? Hows it for Indian roads?Hows the service ? Delivery time after booking etc. Thanks in advance 😇
AI-slop image of my dream bike
I just don't like the look of any new motorcycles. Would you buy a new gsx 1400 if it was rerelased in 2026 with some minor quality of life updates?
I def would.
just picked this bike up, i need a new float and carb rebuild kit, but I cant find any info on the carb model, can anybody help me out?
Trying to fit theese to my bike, but there is a 4mm gap before I start tightening the nut, and the disc spins freely. but when i tighen it, the disc is rubbing hard against the brake calipper mount...? Both at the floating joint and the part that sticks out. Any ideas? I have had out the forks for maintenance earlier, but they ran fine with the old disks.
Just got 300 km in the brake-in period and already in love. Flying in the mountains at 67km/h lol still 700km to go, im 170cm and 72kg this little bike uses almost no gas. Almost hit a curb today doing 60 and uphill, brakes are all right! Wish me luck!
Recently got this 1988 gs450L, was supposed to be just a carb clean, but now I'm having battery issues, and the wires are getting hot. This is my first motorcycle, but those ground wires don't look right to me, and I want some input/ help if I should have to redo the wiring
Also why is it so hard to find oil filters?
Forgive my lack of knowledge, just got this bike 1 week ago and trying to learn.
The outer push rod is 4 1/2in long and goes into the casing by 2 1/4in tell it stops. I have tried adjusting the cable length and the adjustment screw but it just doesn't seem like it makes contact with the rod when I pull the clutch lever it is just completely loose. Im not sure if I'm missing something
Während einer Tagestour mit meiner Suzuki GSX S-1000 hab ich am Thiersee zufällig einen - für mich - neuen Fotospot gefunden.
I bought a Suzuki Access 125 about two months ago. I’ve already had the first service done, but I am still only getting around 33 km/L. I ride mostly in the city. Is this normal for a new engine, or is there something specific I should ask the service center to check?
Bought a gauge to display how many bars i get in fuel line. Connected it in T form tank-gauge-injectors. On idle i get 2.9bars, when driving and dont give much gas i het consistent 2.9bar when i have all gas it drops below 2-1.5bar. is this normal, should i change fuel pump, pressure regulator?
Long story short, my bike is a Suzuki gs150r, it is 16 years old and i am struggling to find parts in Hyderabad, Telangana.
It has done almost 1,00,000 kms and the engine was rebuilt couple of years ago which went bad because of neglect, so it has plenty of life left in it. I recently renewed its registration since it expires after 15 years.
I am struggling to find parts that can keep my bike on the road so it cant go bad because of sitting idle. Spent 20+k bringing almost everything back from tires to switches. I still have tons of stuff to be done to restore it to full functionality.
I need help finding parts like cables etc that are consumables and needed every now and then, and few more parts that may outlast the rest of the bike's life like foot rests, visors etc. I'd be glad if i can find a supplier for them as well, i literally want to keep my bike forever so that definitely helps. for now i treat this as a dire emergency to keep it alive at least for the next decade. I may be sad but i can either pour money in to get parts from south america or give up.
Please help finding people who own this beast and still know where to get parts.
Just hit the 70k mark on my daily commuter.
This scooter has survived 70,000 km of brutal Bangalore city traffic since January 2021 and is still delivering a solid 50 kmpl. It's been an absolute workhorse.
im picking up a 2026 gsxr 750 from dealership soon, and wanna put a pipe on it. now a short slip on will still not be as loud due to the catalytic converter still being there or whatever, i wanna know if a full system exhaust is the only way to get rid of all restrictions. how can i make it as loud as possible without straight piping it, i dont wanna throw a full system but i wanna know if maybe a slip on with a mid link pipe will get rid of the restrictins and make it louder, and if so what company is the best for this bike, thank you guys
P.S im not a dick going around revving it up everywhere i ride mostly highways and strongly beleive loud pipes save lives. people always changes lanes without looking and when you hear a loud noise/vehicle near you people always check their mirros. they dont always see you coming but if they can hear you its better. anyways any advice is greatly appreciated!

Had it for 5 months now, and I’m absolutely in love with it.
Weird question, but how hard would it be to replace the front cowl of the GSX-8TT with the headlight apparatus of the GSX-8T? I really like the black forks, red wheels, and tank colors of the TT, but I'm not a fan of the cowl and undercarriage of the TT, so I'm wondering if it would be a somewhat decent idea to replace the cowl entirely to make it look similar to the picture (ignore the bad photoshop im not very good lmao). thoughts?
Cant feel much happier to finally get hold of my childhood dream on this 2026 busa. 😍
Hey guys,
I’m looking to replace the front brake pads on my GSX-R 1000 K7 because they’re getting close to the end of their life.
The bike has 26,000 km on it and still has the OEM brake discs, which show zero noticeable signs of wear.
The main thing I’m trying to figure out is: does anyone know what compound the OEM Suzuki pads are? Are they sintered or organic?
I’d like to go with an aftermarket pad, but I really don’t want to end up replacing perfectly good OEM discs because the pads are too aggressive.
A long time ago I had EBC HH pads on another bike and it was honestly a disaster for the discs. The pads barely seemed to wear, while the discs were disappearing before my eyes 😂. So I definitely don’t want a repeat of that.
At the moment I’m looking at:
SBS 806HS
Galfer G1370
TRW MCB752SV
All three seem to be sintered, from what I can tell.
I ride fairly aggressively and at a decent pace, but I’m not doing track days and I’m not constantly doing huge emergency braking from high speeds.
So what would you guys recommend for the K7?
More specifically:
What compound are the OEM Suzuki pads?
Are the OEM discs designed to work well with sintered aftermarket pads?
Which of the three above would you choose if disc longevity is important?
Is there another pad you would recommend that gives good braking performance without eating the OEM discs?
Thanks!
