Beautiful. I could really go for one of those ..
What did you do to your other motorcycle today ?
- Thread starter c10
- Start date
The guy at the Suzuki dealership I was at today said they can't keep them in stock and the owners who are buying them love them....
That says a lot of how good they seem to be.

Hi. Get rid of the Sprint filter and get a DNA filter much better. Check out Mike Miller he has shown how much better they are.

Wow ! The last time I rode a GT it was a 2 stroke triple, I guess I'm getting old.
How does the power compare to a
Gsx-R1000?
I bet the high rpm power isn't the same, but how about midrange, passing power, and power with a passenger?
The power is instant and is always there, but the high rush and the feeling you get from a GSXR isn’t of course that explosive. It steers fairly light-footed, feels light with a pleasant sitting position and a flawless shifting pattern with a surprisingly good quickshifter and blipper. The one thing I have to get used to is the ride by wire. I must say, such a throttle is quite sensitive.
The brakes and suspension are sufficient for everyday street use. But if you want to look up the really sporty side, yes then it is still short. If you're looking for a real touring buffalo, it's not, it's just a nice sporty-tourer, the way I like it. Only the standard Dunlops are jerk!
As for the misses, she's a lightweight, so not much difference there. For a passenger it is not a really comfortable motorcycle, that must be said.
All in all, a nice addition to the GSXR. Good value for it’s money!

It looks so futuristic. Least Suzuki-like Suzuki sporty bike I've seen.
yes, but that is something you get used to and it grows on you. in the beginning I also thought, what a futuristic ugly stupid mouth, but now the complete head fits the bike realy well.It looks so futuristic. Least Suzuki-like Suzuki sporty bike I've seen.
And you know, luckily we don't all have the same taste, we would all have the same wife.

Oh, I said it looks futuristic in the best way, how it doesn't resemble the tame Suzuki design language we're all used to. Looks like something straight out of Halo. I love it!yes, but that is something you get used to and it grows on you. in the beginning I also thought, what a futuristic ugly stupid mouth, but now the complete head fits the bike realy well.

Added the black rings around all the gauges now! Looks soo much better to me. And added the fairing spoiler, not a perfect fit but I do like the look of it and I will get it 100% just too tired to mess with it any more
Rode to Myrtle Beach yesterday to met Wilson.
Took the transmission out of the 2018 Gsxr1000R, swapped the main transmission shaft and countershaft bearings with ceramic ones.
The bearing in the transmission plate was an easy out and in with the hydraulic press.
The countershaft bearing in the engine case(in the bike) knocked out easy with a wide brass punch and big ball-peen hammer.
I used the old bearing, with a big washer, and an old seal that fits on the end of my slide hammer, placed the bearing by hand, gave it a few taps with a long 1/2" extension and a big socket, to make sure it would draw in evenly, put the slide hammer through the countershaft hole in the case, with a rag to protect the seal.
Threaded things together in the order of the picture(using the old bearing against the new one), then used a jackstand to support the slide hammer, as I'm working both sides, pulled the old bearing and slide hammer end flush, and slide hammered the new bearing in.
I put the old bearing against it and hammered, giving the solid 'seated' sound, which the bearing is also visibly on the shoulder it seats on, and can been seen through the countershaft seal.
You didn't think I was gonna beat a bearing in, did ya? lol
Even the Suzuki manual shows hammering that bearing in with a driver, as it cannot be pressed in or out unless the engine is out and apart.
Bearings are tougher than most think, I'm just not one to beat on them.
Now, to put the transmission back together, install it, the oil pump chain, the clutch, cover, and oil...and see if I've still got it/the bike works, lmao
This is my first time doing a motorcycle transmission where the engine did not have to be removed/cases split, and I have to say it's a really cool design.
The transmission needed one small awkward twist to get out, and may fight me going back in(I think it will go ok, lol), we'll see.

There is no need to remove the shift drum to swap the bearing, so in the plate it stays.
The countershafter bearing is already removed in this picture.
