First let me start by saying: THANK YOU Cali_Rider for the hookup! John told me about this bike last weekend, I went to check it out earlier this week, and we are picking it up tomorrow evening (Friday)! :cheer:
It's a black & white '05 GSXR 600, with 20k miles on it. It was never laid down, looks great, and has a new set of tires on it, some flush mount turn signals in the front, an FE kit and LED custom taillight... of course I don't care about all that since the bike will be prepped for the track and not registered...
I just settled the deal on the phone to $1900 (he wanted $2k, I asked for $1800)!!!! Stoked!!
The work I need to do to it:
- re-build the front brake (right now the master cylinder is empty lol), and probably put new pads in there
- oil & filter (it hasn't been changed in over a year, and the bike's been sitting in his garage for about 6months).
- thourough cleaning (maybe even swap if necessary) of the chain and sprockets... it looks like he was not a champion of maintenance...
- troubleshoot some turn signal electrical issues he's been having (even though I won't use the turn signals, I still want to find out where the problem comes from).
- valve adjustment: does anyone know the valve adjustment interval on a gixxer6? I have not had the time to check on that yet...
- re-tighten all bolts on the bike and clean everything thoroughly...
Any other recommendations?
Pics to follow tomorrow... I am excited! :rockon:
