Re: Gsxr 600 k1
Restriction kit ? Lol
Normal stuff like brakes, engine running, idling etc, suspension, pitted forks, leaking shock, oil leaks, condition of oil, ie, no White residue. Dunno about bike specific stuff but have a google search, amazing what stuff that throws up. |

Re: Gsxr 600 k1
Well it looks like the stabiliser wheels are in good order so I'll be ok.
Had a look elsewhere and a lot of people say they are well built. But I know a few people on here have them so thought I would ask about.

Re: Gsxr 600 k1
as specialone says, usual checks. The steering damper can get stiff and lose movement. Its cr@p new so think about getting an aftermarket one but make sure bars move smoothly. There's always a 'tappet' sound on tick-over cold but shouldn't be excessive.

Re: Buying a GSXR 600 K1?
As with any Suzuki, take a really close look at the finish in all areas, especially those areas you can't see (and hence don't get the salt cleaned off), like under the fairings, the exhaust manifold, radiator, etc

Re: Buying a GSXR 600 K1?
Here it is, it's got every chav mod available, rim tape, tiny indicators and nasty LED rear lights that don't fit properly but for what I want it for it's ideal.
The sun even came out for the ride home as well
