  1. Just recieved my s1000rr rear shock today 8.5kg/mm  and have ordered some k-tech front springs 1kg/mm

     

    racetech calculator says i need a 9.7 kg/mm shock spring and .99kg/mm fork springs, for my weight, i know the bmw shock is closer to what i need but would it be worth getting a 9.5kg/mm spring for it ?

     

    The forks will be rebuilt with anything needed supplied by the local mechanic.

    Has anyone a similar setup ? or care to chip in with some advice

  2. Was out today and I don't think the bike could run much better , had a few runs with a 03 cbr600rr and we were very similar his should make 117 bhp from factory and I'm probably 25kg heavier never mind the bikes weight . I'll get a K&N see how it goes as I probably do need a filter anyway. I have a s1000rr shock ordered though as my shocks acting funny 

  3. My bikes in gettin a valet and once over at the mechanics, he says it's running slightly rich and the floats need to be adjusted. The exhaust tip has some black soot on it but the plugs I pulled when I converted to coil on plug last week were perfect.

     

    i bought the bike standard and have added a 4-2-1 Sebring exhaust system and converted to coil on plug. The bike runs strong and smooth apart from a slight flat spot around 4500-5500 I think , revs out perfect starts easily every time hot or cold.

    I don't want to go through the expense of a carb service on a bike that runs just fine at the moment.

    I think I will fit a high flow air filter instead which should lean it out a bit for now and get the carbs serviced in the winter if I still think it needs it 

    Does anyone have any opinion/experience of similar ? And what is better for the gsxr K&N or a pipercross foam

  4. Gsxr 1000 coils in , new plugs , started first touch no choke and sounding sweet only ran for a few seconds on the fuel in the bowls. Having issues refitting the tank petrol lines are a pain

  5. So I was at tandragee road racing today and it rained pretty bad , bike started fine on the half choke as normal and idled fine. But a few miles out the road it started missing and dying fought with it for about 15 miles to a petrol station , stopped it but it wouldn't start until I had the choke fully open. Foughtvit for another 5-10 miles then it came back to normal as the roads dried up. I'm presuming it's water getting somewhere it shouldn't. Anyone any ideas where to start  on a fix for this on a 91M , on my old sv it was water getting up on the front plug a extended rad guard sorted it out
