    I gotta agree with you on carbureted vintage bikes vs FI, computer chipped bikes. Late '70's to early 2000's bikes are the most soulful. Love your ZR1100! What a beauty.

    Bike is gorgeous. I have to agree, the slightly older 1990's early 200'0's bikes were the golden epoch before everything became digitalised. I don't think Ive ever owned a full injected bike, cant say if they are soulless, but I can believe its true.

    Every action has an equal and opposite reaction! I get the idea of altering the gearing, but what you gain in one area you lose in another. If it's happy on the inclines in 4th then just leave it on 4th perhaps? Rather than pushing the revs up in a higher gear, increasing fuel consumption everywhere and your Speedo running untrue..gears simply match power to speed under load and not sure that Yamaha spent millions in development costs that they didn't take into account u might need to stay in 4th to keep in the power. Possibly the increased torque ( 8-10% perhaps) might also undermine the drive bearings and put an extra load on components and of course don't forget to inform the insurance company or they may void a claim after an accident due to not having recommended parts.. or not identifying what is effectively a performance upgrade..just my thoughts & each to their own tho 🤣

    Thanks for the Great Overview. The B3/B4 Models (1996/1997) are known to have the head gasket fixed...the factory did a silent update i guess. I like my B4 from 1997...its like a mini Hayabusa..insanely stable at high speed...never feel the need for a steering damper. only model with a fuel gauge... nice to have.

    What are the stock jet sizes ? I suspect mine may have been done, but I'd like to check it at some stage. Mine has the K&N Filter and Yoshimura full system so I have a feeling it may have a kit fitted. The bike is a beast and definitely feels more alive than others I've sampled. Possibly has a cam too.

  • @tonymontana897

    Some friendly advice to everyone. If you are a DIY type who tinkers on their Jap bikes, get yourselves some JIS screw drivers. (Japanese Industry Standard) screw drivers are a must, especially when doing carby work so you don't ruin the screws. The screws are made for JIS screw drivers for best mechanical fit and purchase of the screw itself.

    I suspect that dirty coolingwater is making problems for myself. Going to flush the system and change it. I thought it might be the battery but after I saw my cooling water I suspect that this device isn't working properly. I bought the bike used last year. I guess the previous owner either changed the cooling water with the wrong one or topped it off with the wrong one. Going to check if the pin moves freely.

    We were talking about this today, that you NEVER see sports bikes on the road anymore. I worked as a technician for Honda back in early 2000's and the market was booming. A lot of it comes down to price where you could pick up a brand new 600 with disposable income (in cash), today you've no chance.... £24,000 for a 30th anniversary Fireblade!? Standard Repsol Blades used to leave our place at £8000

    My 04 now 29k, got her at 18k. Only issue was the strting relay. If it fails pay the money and get the upgraded one from a kaw dealer. Not the net. I did and it lasted 20 miles The new one 9k miles and still going. Did a 1000 mile round trip last summer. Loved it. Smooth, silky, and down right fast if needed.

    Sorry to bother you. As an experienced (older) rider the GSR600 is a bike that really appeals to me but quite a view reviewers go on about the "jerky throttle" by which, I presume, they mean 'fueling'. Some also talk about the TPS (Throttle Position Sensor) being at fault. Do you have any experience regarding this supposed problem with the GSR600 or do you think that's all down to a bad riding technique eg. throttle control ? Many thanks.

    • @mcycle24
      @mcycle24 3 місяці тому

      Not had any problems with mine It’s nice and smooth, ECU can be re mapped at any dyno centre these days for smoother throttle if required but mine is fine as it is.
