    Hey guys, been a while but I did promise to some that I would post pictures of the completed project.

    I now have it up for sale, but dont expect any interest through this website of course. All I can say is that its running 110%.

    Selling due to the purchase of a 2000 gsxr600.

    Post your comments <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->

    Awesome job dude! Looks very very clean.
    I particularly like the bright yellow bits - to ward of retarded drivers right.
    How much you selling it for? (I'm leaning towards a track bike... <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: --> )

    Also, when did you get the GSXR?
    We'll have to organise a decent ride again soon, now that we've all upgraded and done the big bore thing. <!-- s:roll: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_roll.gif" alt=":roll:" title="Rolling LoL" /><!-- s:roll: -->

    I got the gsxr600 about 2 weeks ago. Went with Dave (garfield) up to kinglake on the sunday) Nice ride to ease the new tyres in.

    I bought the bike with a slight grazing on the lhs. It also rattles in 4th gear. Anyone heard of that before? I gotta take the gearbox apart to investiage. Its quite loud, and random. So just gotta skip 4th when I ride.

    As for the price of the RGV, if your gonna get one for track riding, your best getting one in bad cosmetic condition, as you will save alot. RGVS are going for a fair bit these days, with an average price around $5,500 on bike sales. So id have be aiming around that considering the work thats gone into it.

    Thanks ACE <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D --> . RGV only has roughly 16k on the clocks, and the gsxr has 34k.

    <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D --> I was being abrasive... yeah i'd like a track bike but i know how much time, effort & money you've sunk into that RGV. I hope the new owner enjoys it - whoever ends up buying it.

    Never heard of GSXR's having a loud 4th, so it's most likely just a bike specific problem. Is it just noisy as buggery or rattles / vibrates aswell?

    4th is an odd gear to have issues with. Do you hear the noise on acceleration or on deceleration?

    Kinda funny.... troubleshooting a Suzuki, in a thread about an RGV on a forum for Yamahas....

    Ummm... where am I again?!?!
