My New Tracky Build

[blackzook]

2006 GSX-R750. Repairable write off with body damage only.
Has low k's powercommander, Akapovic full system & sliders got it for a song.

Stock is 150 hp and 163kg's. Until the new model is released in Feb there have only been colour changes to date.

Wonder how light and powerful it can be :pi_tongue:





Plans are:
Raceglass
Braided lines & good discs & decent pads
Tweak the motor
Suspension upgrade

[blackzook]

Raceglass ordered will pick it up tomorrow. Ordered quick action throttle and kill switch.
Hoping to reflash and get rid of the powercommander, but development is up to Petric, if not will have to dyno with PC on. Would rather use the wideband and data logger I already have to help me set the tune by reflashing.

Still to buy super light wheels (carbon), braided lines, full floating cast iron discs & pads, cams, head work, ohlins forks and rear shock. It will happen fast, done some research before I found the bike, just need to haggle with vendors LOL.
Could get it to over 160hp at the crank and sub 140kg. Is that possible?

I wonder if it will be more fun to ride than the 100kg - 62hp RS250? - doubt it - smokers rule!

Looks like it has no scratches? Did someone just boot into it?
140kg would be fun, my 85 weighs about that now!
Good gixxer project.

Dropped at very low speed. plastics damaged along with front fairing frame bent, one lug broken off the instruments and minor scratches to the end of the swingarm. Funny how the frame and fork sliders saved major damage to the rest of the bike but the scratches to the swingarm along with plastics and instruments made it a wright off.

Ebayed new instument from a 08 for $51.00 with similar k's. New alloy fairing frame was $160.00 delivered, the plastics would have been sold off anyway.

There is no race class for the 750's I will have 2 run against 1000's but a super light bike with good suspension and brakes should make up the difference?.

A 750 with cams & headwork should be like a 2stroke & I already give the 600's a scare on my RS250.

Where did you score the bike?

I'm after a new project bike. Rep write off preferably.

[blackzook]

Picked her up on Friday and was amazed at the condition of the bike. It has braided lines, HID headlights, 24 LED's LOL and a heap of carbon parts. Someone obviously loved this bike.

I stripped her down and did a 520 chain - sprocket conversion - 1 in front -2 rear, new oil and filter, plugs, airfilter, brake pads all round and flushed the cooling system.

[blackzook]

It even has the toolkit



I tried to fit the raceglass but soon realised I had no idea what I was doing so called a mate Terry who has his own custom glass/carbon business over to help out. Thanks mate all finished, got the new fairing stay tonight and a spare set of wheels and discs for racing wets, just need Dzus fasteners and to fit the screen then it will be reary for its first run at EC next Saturday.
Photo's to follow.

Ah, I recognise this one. Did you get it off mike at adrenalin pb in melb???

Very nice bike mate, it's always nice to see the extra bits you weren't expecting.

I've bought the odd bike off him. The last being my last one, 09 cbr1000rr.

I dont think I'll go through him next time, he does make a tidy profit, which could be best spent elsewhere.

John.

Yep got it from Adrenalin it was a good buy, ws so happy till I spoke to a mate who just scored a 2010 GSXR1000 for nearly half what I paid.

Oh well shit happens Im happy with the bike I have it will be a better track bike all round for my lack of riding skill than a modern 1000.

The fact that its a 750iddy will make it that much more fun when I kick him at the track on his thou.

He's pretty good to deal with and there is a certain piece of mind knowing that someone has looked over it first.
