New bike - GSR750
Well picked up my new bike on saturday - 2012 GSR750 - not as quick as the 600RR but way more comfy - only rode it home as it isn't taxed till tuesday (start of new month) so no playing about yet.
Dissapointed with dealers so called service - clutch lever had 7-10mm of play and throttle has play, adjusted clutch but not sure how to tighten the throttle (slides side to side a bit too much), oil filter doesn't look new either so i don't think it's been changed?
Fitted some R+G swingarm bobbins (used the RR ones) and also a single seat cowl so far - ordered a rad guard, frame protectors, adj levers and a Leovince exhaust as the standard is sooooo quiet.
Hoping the parts will be here this week so they'll be fitted for next weekend
Couple of pics after a couple of hours claying, polishing, waxing, degreasing,
yes it does need a tailtidy - that's on the to do list - i don't want to do everything at once otherwise they'll be nothing to tinker with over the summer

Re: New bike - GSR750
Why does my GSXR750 have a great big huge black cat and yours has it built in so its hardly visible!! Stupid Suzuki designers!!
Looking forward to seeing it and can compare to my 750 and see what Suzuki changed on the naked bike

mines got the new improved swingarm - made in steel for improved handlingJimbob wrote:Why does my GSXR750 have a great big huge black cat and yours has it built in so its hardly visible!! Stupid Suzuki designers!!

I guess totally different everything compared to yours - the engine is supposed to be an earlier version from the GSXR but detuned?
I had a K7 GSXR750 - i liked the standard exhaust suited the bike unlike the later ones which don't flow with the lines of the bike

Re: New bike - GSR750
woo hoo - Leo arrived today and was fitted in 10 mins after work - crash bobbins also arrived but they'll be fitted tommorow along with the tailtidy which should be here
L:evers and rad guard might turn up this week as well so it's starting to tart up nicely
