On another note- did you know that you can't or at least shouldn't just hop on a bike and go?

That the bike needs to be set up specifically for the size/weight of the rider that's riding it, so he (or she) can get the absolute best performance and handling capabilities out of the bike ? It's true!

There's so many things that you should check/adjust and set specifically to your height and weight from such things as:

foot pegs (feet position)
shift lever adjustment
clutch lever freeplay
handlebar positions
brake handle freeplay
suspension sag
proper compression of front/ rear shocks
proper rebound of front/ rear shocks
TPS (throttle position sensor) adjustment

as well as cool add-ons such as: aftermarket fuel management systems, a higher windshield for better wind protection, frame sliders, and steering dampers.


It just so happens I have a sweet ass book that explains how to do all those things for the "do it yourselfer". With hundreds of color photographs covering everything. It's an excellent book on in LIKE NEW condition. It covers all years of the SUZUKI GSX-R and was made in 2004, but it still applies to the performance bikes of today. If you would like it, I'll hook you up (I dont have a GSX-R so I dont really need it).

The retail price in Canada is $30, but u can have it for $20 and I'll even mail it for free from the USA. (as long as shipping is under $10)

LMK man, tons of good info in here.
