Thinking about buying a GSXR 750 next summer.Are the performance/torque specs very different between the 1100 and the 750´s?I guess the 600´s need to get revved a lot to get some speed out of them...
Wow that is sexy as hell. I love all Gsxr's. I would love to have one of every generation.GV1390 said:Nice man! Stoked to see more people modifying these bikes. Don't see too many of them around.
Here is my 93' GSXR1100:

The early SACS motor 600's are a bit overweight as cases are same as 750, (so just drop a 750 top end on) later ones got thinner sections in various parts but still overweight in my opinion. (even though I have a 95 Katana 600) 600 and 750 are more or less same motor, 1100 uses same bore spacing and main bearing diameter so 'in theory1fasgsxr said:Depends on the year really. The 1100 were fast and had plenty of torque. In my opinion the 750's and the 600's live for rpm's. But I suppose that is true for any smaller displacement engine. The newer 600's will run off and hide from the older 750's. what year are you thinking of getting?
Oil jets under piston is an old dirt track trick at least since the 60'scrazypj said:Probably my most favorite engine ever. 8)
Which 1100, L, M? Still pretty twitchy on the street but ideal for racing
It does have limitations but a dead reliable 140 bhp. (more with a modified 1200 Bandit motor)
Oil cooling isn't most efficient but beats the hell out of air cooled (unless ducted fan) One thing Suzuki did introduce to motorcycle world that 'everyone' now uses - under piston oil jets squirting on bottom of piston crown.
With modern low viscosity synthetic oils, heat transfer can be improved but still needs more oil cooler surface area than a water cooled motor
I´m thinking about getting this ugly streetfighter I found not far way from my hometown and changing back the angle of the seat, repaint it and ride the ish out of it.1fasgsxr said:Depends on the year really.

May have been a dirt track trick but Suzuki were the first to use it on a production bike with oil cooling. How did the get oil jets in dirt trackers though or are you talking Chevy motors with oil feed drilled to squirt on small ends?datadavid said:Oil jets under piston is an old dirt track trick at least since the 60's
Looks like half a "bosozoku" style motorcycle. Apparently was a thing, or is a thing, in Japan (and this is a mild example)...Ryan Stecken said:I´m thinking about getting this ugly streetfighter I found not far way from my hometown and changing back the angle of the seat, repaint it and ride the ish out of it.
Really an eye-sore right now.
Its a 1100 built in 1989.What do you think?
If its been ridden like its been designed to, as in constant autobahn wheelies, dont buy it. Noone sane buys old wheelie machines with worn out gearboxes and cranks run with limited oil supply.1fasgsxr said:Yeah fix that tail pointing to the sky and any other things you don't like and ride that thing.. Looks like it is clean otherwise.
thats what I fear, checked the facebook profile of the seller and he´s the lowered VW Gti kind of guy, young and probably relentlessdatadavid said:If its been ridden like its been designed to, as in constant autobahn wheelies, dont buy it.

Hehe, good call i think. This type of bikes are worth close to nothing in swedenRyan Stecken said:thats what I fear, checked the facebook profile of the seller and he´s the lowered VW Gti kind of guy, young and probably relentless
he actually says that the machine never ran and he never had time to clean the carbs and change the battery...i call bullshit.
Interesting, never even heard of it previously even with guy's I knew 'back in the day' who raced Triumph twins with just about any mods you could think of (trying to stay 'competitive' with Suzuki/Kawasaki engined Rickman, et al framed bikes) I would think 'Y' oil-ways would be more for cylinder lube though as even a very shallow angle will not direct much to the underside of piston crown? (small end will be better lubricated from piston skirt scraping oil off cylinder walls and some will hit underneath piston.. Piston acceleration with te relatively long stroke motors would probably negate much cooling effect but I have seen many 'pretzeled' BSA/Triumph rods due to small end seizing (sen it on XS650's also)datadavid said:Rods drilled in a "Y" style, directed to spray underneath the piston. Found it in a bsa engine here in sweden and had it explained by an old dirt tracker, apparently very common.. so the japs copied that as welland those german streetfighter with the "tysk-ass", damn they dont look right..![]()
