GSXR 600 SRAD 1998 Missing compression adjusters

[Guest]

Hi All

Been away for a while after selling my GS1000 I had for 20 odd years, regretted it the very same day.

I have just picked myself up what I would call a GSXR 600 SRAD 1998 in need a of a F*** load of TLC

Usual thing strip all bodywork off to check everything is ok. Cracked bits missing 20 different screws holding it  all together 

Headlight mounts are a bit knackered so headlight will be changed. No damage to frame or forks so how that happened don`t know.

The PO didn`t seem to know much about other than he road it for last 2 years with change of oil etc.

Will check forks for straightness once get dry spell

Anyway after checking adjusters on forks twiddle OK I was surprised to see my compression adjusters on the bottom of the forks have disappeared 

No where to be seen, I`m sure when I had one of these back in 98 it had adjusters on the bottom.

Can anyone confirm if it should have?

first year of SRAD 600 (1997) did not have the adjusters. So you probably have a 1997 model, or at least 1997 forks.

Cheers Captain Chaos, I think your right.  Tis an R reg bike so should be a 98 and have compression on forks. Perhaps old ones rusted up or got damaged and were replaced with these.

Didn`t pay much for the bike so not to unhappy.
