Keeper96 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 (edited) Evening all, ive just acquired a 1999 gsx600f. I gave it a full service yesterday but found that it appears to have a different engine in. according to my data it should use cr9ek spark plugs but the ones I removed where dr8es, obviously these are a different thread size. am I right in thinking this would make it an engine from a 1988-‘97 teapot? is there an easy way to tell without stripping the fairings to look at engine numbers?

Dezza Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Welcome The problem can be easily resolved by removing the fairing and checking the engine number. It's not exactly rocket surgery to do this. Quote Link to comment

But you must have taken the fairing off to do the spark plugs, unless you have an iron like grip and hands like a baby Quote Link to comment

Keeper96 Posted December 13, 2020 Author Share Posted December 13, 2020 I’ve had a look and the engine number is different to the one on the v5, the engine fitted is N705-122796 Is anyone able to confirm the age and model of the engine with this number? thanks Quote Link to comment
Dezza Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Says GSX 600, early 90s on the first interwebs search I did, and I don't even use googles Quote Link to comment
