Needs a bellypan to cover up the exhaust gubbins, but otherwise a nice looking bike

Nice bike you have there! Nice Arrow pipe too

Keep an eye on the EXCV valve in the exhaust. On my GSXR it kept on sticking even after a new set of headers was fitted. I ended up ripping mine out. Just had to pull a wire from the ECU to stop the FI light thinking its a fault but the bike is much better now.

+1...had to rip mine out when one of the cables basically snapped.

Makes no difference to performance and most gsxr riders rip it all out straight away.

Getting mine at the end of the month. Already ordered a Tail tidy. How did you find the exhaust? I am really struggling to find any info on this subject (GSR Specific). I was thinking: http://www.wemoto.com/bikes/suzuki/g...er_-_e-marked/ - anyone had any experience with these (French Devil Exhaust Company seems to have gone bust in 2007 and are still so - but loads of big retailers still selling - which is odd!)

Wow, wires snapping on such a new bike?

the Z750 has a silly valve in its exhaust, which is easily disabled, Scorpion can provide a part that fools the bike into thinking the cables are still attached.

Or if you get a bit hamfisted while investigating this function, by taking the servo apart and rotating the large geared wheel on the inside 180 degrees the bike doesnt complain about the missing valve, all without having to butcher the ECU connections.

When I first got the bike it was a pain to find a compatible end can as the GSR750 had been out for only a few weeks however I think most companies do one now. Compared with the standard can the Arrow one is louder and deeper however it only makes a big difference in terms of sound once the exhaust valve opens up around 6000rpm. Its also a fair big lighter than the standard can not that it will make much of a difference with me sat on it.
