    Gsx600f front end swap

    in Oil Cooled

    Posted

    I got a first type swinger with 5.5J with 170 tyre, 180 would be tricky with tyre standard offset sprockets. A b600/rf600 etc have 4.5J for 160 tyre and fit original sprocket carrier. I have one for my gsx6/11f.

    1100f powerscreen 17” wheels?

    Most use 1100r wheels, rear almost plug and play, front no rocket science. 1100r discs need adapterplates, 298? Mm 600/750f, rf600, b600 etc discs just 9? mm spacers.

     

    I used rf900 wheels, rear little more work than 1100r but I am not an enormous technician or so and with a little help got it done:

     

    Better brakes and sticky tyres with a 170 rear on a 5J wheel (standard for rf900 and more space for chain)

    Only one ? ? ? - I'm sure they are more popular than that ! xD

    Let me phrase that a little different: I ve seen a short video on youtube with a gsx600f with a busa engine 

    GSX1100F rear shock

    Its a long shock with a long fork beneath. I couldnt find one so bought a brandnew expensive hyperpro (Dutch brand) shock 10 longer than standard.

     

    So ironic: the 10 mm extra length together with a little shorter fork on the expensive shock... shock did not fit xD

     

    Had to take a mm or something like that of the uperside of the link the shock is mounted on (y)

    More HP (oomph)! For GSX600F

    I have a 600f with an 1100f engine, would almost say "if I could do it..."

    You have to consider also other exhaust and chainsprocket ratio. Your original brakes wont do the job the way they should en your original frontend is also not overrated :D

    Afternoon Rupe, welcome to the madhouse.

    Im currently in the process of rebuilding my 600 teapot and i'll be fitting a 1100f swinger with a kindly donated 4.5" slingy wheel.

    Im not sure what year yours is but from my own opinion the 4.5" wheel is bloody tight inside the mk1 standard swinger.

    Nooo, a 5.5J is tight in original swinger, verry narrow fit 

    A 4.5 is almost plug and play (y)

    Gsx-f >98 swinger in gsx-f model 88/96 for 180 tyre

    Hi all :D

     

    In my gsx750f  '90 I have a 5.5J wheel with 170 tyre in original swinger; narrow fit. 

     

    In my gsx6/11f I also like bigger wheel and read somewhere overhere that a newer type swinger is an easier way and even can handle a 180 tyre.

     

    My question is: what are all parts that have to be changed besides wheel, swinger, calliper etc.?

     

    Dogbones first model wont fit for example but which wishbone for example?

     

    I didnt make much kilometers with original parts, all new, revised (new bearings,  seals, etc) etc but a bigger wheel keeps comming back in my mind :banana:

    I think the early models has different size tyres in than the latter 3 spoke wheels.

    Not 100% but I'd think yours should be front 110/70/17 rear 150/70/17 

    You could get a 160 rear on but your stuck with the front size without so front end modifiing.

    First type has small wheel, 140 normally, 150 max they told me, 3.5J?
