Traded in my 97 gsxr 750 for a 06 1000

Left home today with the old bike and came home with a new one:dthumb: as you can see my wife was not to happy about it. I thought she would not notice since it was the same color:bash: , (kinda) but my plan failed. through in a carbon fiber Yosh TRS slipon and a powercomander on to the loan and I am all set to install after brake in. http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i118/destined4light/gixxer1000005.jpg http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i118/destined4light/gixxer1000006.jpg http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i118/destined4light/gixxer1000008.jpg http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i118/destined4light/gixxer1000004.jpg http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i118/destined4light/gixxer1000007.jpg

congrats :dthumb: nice ride

:lol: nice!

is it normal for the engine to sound a little ruff, till it is broke in? it sounds ruff and then smooths out when I get the rpms up a little. I never had a real new bike.

:idk: I really have no idea... I will wait on Gas Man, DL, Chappy, Tater... and the rest of the will informed. I have to add in Pucky because she always has good info

Not really rought but very tight feeling is very normal. Ride it hard after you warm it up, run through the gears all the way. Congerats on bike. Feel likes almost double the power

Not really rought but very tight feeling is very normal. Ride it hard! :dthumb:

I will wait on Gas Man, DL, Chappy, Tater... and the rest of the will informed. I have to add in Pucky because she always has good info oh you've got a lot more well informed people than that... OTB, Noworries, Marko, Jeeps (where's he been anyhow), Chuck, and quite a few others... man now that I think about it... there is A LOT of knowledge on this forum... :twfrox:

Yeah, every since Jul 2005 lol Best break in technique ever: http://www.mototuneusa.com/break_in_secrets.htm

Yeah, every since Jul 2005 lol Best break in technique ever: http://www.mototuneusa.com/break_in_secrets.htm SHIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTT! :lol:

Yes Marko comes to mind but i have not seen jeeps around, you are right this forum is great good info:twfrox: you all know who you are:dthumb: yeah Jeeps is MIA... I wonder :wtf: is up... gonna PM him

No, that seriously is the best. :cheers: Ive broken in 8 motors total and 3 of which were after i found out about that and had a tighter seal and more compression than the ones that were broken in "easily" (aka per manual spec).

I was talking about your comment on how long twf has rocked! I agree completely about the break'n

Good, see that a smart person right there^:cheers: Actually i was refering to the smart-ness on the forum since Jul 2005 as in reference to me lol. TWF rocked before i was a member!

I will wait on Gas Man, DL, Chappy, Tater... and the rest of the will informed. I have to add in Pucky because she always has good info Why thank ya! yeah Jeeps is MIA... I wonder :wtf: is up... gonna PM him He's around... I've talked with him. The cliff notes... he's got a new perma g/f that he's spending time with... that's the way it is I guess. First off :dthumb: on the trade. That's howt! Now dumb the reflectors, dumb OE stickers, and that shovel off the back. Running ruff? What do you mean? Are you sure its just not cammin? Could it be something to do with the exhaust valve on these newer bikes.. giving you a different idea? I know alot of these newer bikes run pretty clanky sounding. It has to do with leaning them out so much and squeeze out every available hp they can. Obviously the sound is going to change... hence one of the reasons Harley doesn't change their motors.

I went and put my 1st hundred miles on it with my bro in law he said it is the new exaust. What a change in everything compared to the 97 750:yikes:

congrats! :dthumb: don't ya just love that new bike smell? :wink: yes, I was smelling it this morning:dthumb:

You have to get use to the many new noises of any bike that is new to you. congrats! :dthumb: don't ya just love that new bike smell? :wink: The burning setting in smell of new metal... I thought he was married.. :scratch: He WAS!

sweet ride! can i borrow it? :)

sweet ride! can i borrow it? :) yes you can, just leave one of your bikes in your sig with me:dthumb:

got my full coverage thought Gieco for 100.39 a month as opposed to progressive for 198.00 a month

Holy crap thats a lot, 12 huns a year?

got my full coverage thought Gieco for 100.39 a month as opposed to progressive for 198.00 a month I agree....I left progressive it was 180 a month to geico for 91 a month...:dthumb:

Nice bike, and I like how it comes with a gear indicator.... something I need on my R1! Geeze you guys get raped in the ass with insurance rates! :yikes: When I had full coverage on the R1 I paid $572 a year! Now with liability I pay about $100 a year.

is it normal for the engine to sound a little ruff, till it is broke in? it sounds ruff and then smooths out when I get the rpms up a little. I never had a real new bike. I too have an 06 Gixxer 1000 and yes, the engine will be a little rough for a couple hundred miles. Also, expect the valves to make noise when the engine is cold after it is broken in. Mine has almost 9000 on the clock and the valves make a lot of noise while it's cold. Once it gets to about 120 or so, they quiet down. Other than that, you'll love her!

I went and put my 1st hundred miles on it with my bro in law he said it is the new exaust. What a change in everything compared to the 97 750:yikes: You have the new pipe on it before it's broke in? I would recomend you put the stock pipe back on til you reach bout 600 miles. I know you're excitement, bro.....believe me :D Just a TWFFR (TWF friendly reminder), the break in period is the most important for the life of your bike. :dthumb: As far as the noise.......(if it's not the pipe) when the K5 or K6 are at idle, the valves sound like they're clicking louder than normal. No worries, it is normal. & most of all............. CONGRATS !!!! :dthumb: :dthumb: :dthumb:

I thought he was waiting till after break in? through in a carbon fiber Yosh TRS slipon and a powercomander on to the loan and I am all set to install after brake in.

Quite right, my bad. :wink: have not put the new pipe on, Its the stock pipe, it has a exhaust valve or something in the pipe that makes a little noise. but its all good. thanks Chappy:dthumb: :cheers: One thing you're gonna love about this bike is being able to throw your weight around HARD & still feel like you're on rails! I still feel you're excitement :drool: :drool: :willy: :willy: :D

Um. Did your track day have anything to do with this?

Um. Did your track day have anything to do with this? yes, I am guilty. I have found something that I really enjoy:dthumb:

The '07's pipes iare made like that if you break down you can sleep in them until help arives.
