K6 Suzuki GSX-R 600

I've been out of the DSM scene for a while now and left it when I traded my last dsm for an 07' R6r. I choose to sell that when my DD died on me and wanted to replace it with something nicer and no loan. Well I've regretted selling my R6 from the get go and wanted to get another bike. I finally picked up a 2006 GSX-R 600 track bike at the end of January. The bike is definitely a project but I knew that going into it. I got some history on the bike and it was bought new from Suzuki as an AMA race bike and was raced by the original owner for some years and then made it through the hands of two other racers before I bought it. The bike finished 1st overall in the novice class for 2012 and 2010. My plan is to clean the bike up, put a new motor in it, make it street legal again, and since it is a race bike prolly take her to the track.

Mods:
-Ohlins Front Forks
-Penske Triple Clicker Rear Shock
-Leo vince Full Exhaust
-Vortex Rearsets
-Woodcraft engine covers
-Woodcraft frame sliders
-Woodcraft clip ons
-Dyno jet PC3
-Dyno jet ignition Module
-Dyno jet quickshifter
-Vesrah Racing Clutch
-GPR V4 Stabilizer
and more...

Here is the bike from last race season:

Re: K6 Suzuki GSX-R 600

Looks like an awesome bike with a lot of goodies on it!

Re: K6 Suzuki GSX-R 600

Looks like a heck of a project! I had a k7. The k6 and k7 gsxrs are probably my favorites!

Re: K6 Suzuki GSX-R 600

Fun project for sure!

Re: K6 Suzuki GSX-R 600

Looks like a crazy 600 to me.

Re: K6 Suzuki GSX-R 600

w00t! Another gixxer around! Biggest thing with an ex track bike is to make sure everything is straight. They tend to get banged up on a regular basis. My track bike had a slightly bent swingarm and I didn't know it (was from the previous owner) and caused some handling quirks.

Re: K6 Suzuki GSX-R 600

Leo's South FTW! I just went in and had a very large order of mostly misc bolts that I priced out online and ordering the parts through Leo's saved me $25 and that's not including what I saved by not having to pay shipping. This should be the very last parts order for whats needed to put the bike back to street legal.

Re: K6 Suzuki GSX-R 600

I bought my first gixxer from Leo's, nice place. I deal with Larson's in Cambridge now that I am on the north side. Now the wait for the nice weather begins...

Re: K6 Suzuki GSX-R 600

LCR FTW. I know a lot of people that have worked there/work there.

Re: K6 Suzuki GSX-R 600

Here are current pics, finally finished, finally titled, and plated.

Took off the slicks and mounted street tires.

Friday was a big day for me after running around trying to get a title and plate for this, after trying multiple DMV's with the original certificate of origin on the bike from 2006 I finally found one that would issue me a title and plate for the bike. Up until this point it has been a very expensive track bike converted back to street legal that couldn't legally be ridden on the streets.

New clip-on tubes, grips, reservoir, and controls.

4,1xx miles, that's 300 miles on her since Friday but actually less due to gearing -1 front +2 rear.

Finished pics of the bike with very poor lighting in my garage. Will get better ones later.

Re: K6 Suzuki GSX-R 600

Wow that looks amazing. You should come out riding soon. I am going out today after work.

Re: K6 Suzuki GSX-R 600

I love white bikes, so nice looking!

Re: K6 Suzuki GSX-R 600

Thanks for all the compliments!

We should definitely meet up and ride one of these days, I had to work this evening and of course everyone else was out riding. Working retail blows because it always happens that everyone wants to ride so conveniently when I have to work.

Re: K6 Suzuki GSX-R 600

Wow, nice work on the wrap! No way in hell would I ever have the patience for that!

Re: K6 Suzuki GSX-R 600

Oh yea that reminds me, how much would you charge to wrap my car? :D
Excellent workmanship on the vinyl.

Thanks for the compliments, wrapping a car I would assume to be easier because they don't have the small aggressive compound curves the bike has. But no I will not wrap your Lotus Andrew! haha

Well since its been rainy and I cant really ride the bike I tore her down today to try and get rid of a problem I've had with the bike. Anything more than 12k rpm's and it has been stumbling and just falling on its face when it should be continuing to pull harder. So I pulled the fuel pump out, cleaned the fuel filter, swapped in my extra set of coils, and swapped my extra extra set of throttle bodies with injectors. From what I can tell with the couple pulls I was able to get in between it raining this evening is that the hesitation is gone. Although now my quick shifter doesn't want to let me clutch-less upshift in the high r's now (prolly just hafta play with the settings on the laptop) and the slightest roll off the throttle to decel cuts all power (hopefully just need to calibrate the tps after swapping throttle bodies) but I'm calling it a night.

Nasty fuel filter before:

That's some icky looking shit there. Your vinyl wrap looks awesome! I've never really liked GSX-R's before, but I REALLY like the way yours looks.

Re: K6 Suzuki GSX-R 600

Dam that filter is dirty. How the hell did it get that dirty?

Re: K6 Suzuki GSX-R 600

I have no idea considering the bike only had 3800 re-geared racetrack miles on it. but its a common issue with these bikes I guess.
