I'm just sitting there, minding my own business when this 2001 GSXR 750 shows up. I'm like "waaaa" and it's like "nah" and then I was like "ehhh, aight".
It's in full street attire right now. Plastics are complete but a little scratched/cracked, so no need to swap them for track duty.
Going to yank the lights and possibly grab an aftermarket nose so I don't have a huge void where the headlight used to be.
Pulled it all apart yesterday. Turns out these things are pretty easy to work on. It has about 28k miles on it. Going to do a valve adjustment, throttle body sync, oil change, air filter, plugs, steering head bearings, etc.
It has some Pilot Power 2ct's on it right now, but I think I'd goey those pigs on the track pretty quickly. I'd like to get a set of nice sticky rubber on there. I don't mind using warmers so race tires are absolutely fine if not preferred. Not sure if I'm going to stick to my preferred Dunlop or go Pirelli/Michelin for this one. I'm sure everyone who sells these brands will chime in and tell me how I should buy their's.
I took out it for a single street ride last year before putting it away. She pulled fine, ran well. Suspension, who knows. It's original fork oil. Original shock, untouched. Anyone ever do a fork fluid swap on one of these? Yes yes yes, bring it to PK, yeah, I know. That's a last resort. This is a budget build for now. I mean really, it's already 13 years old, I'm not dumping a lot into it. If I have to, fine, but in the meantime I may either run it as is for a day to shake it down or just try to do it myself.
It has sliders and a MiG exhaust. Exhaust isn't lined up properly for the rear mounting point, may have to look into that.
Anything else I should be doing with this thing? Never had a "fast" track bike before. Of course wherever I bring this thing, I'll also be bringing my SV.
