    Coolant issues

    What was the air temperature where you were riding? Roughly. There are a few things this could be, ambient temperature would be useful as 108 in 40 degree city heat would not be a surprise. If it reaching that temp at current UK temperatures you have at least one issue with the system...

    Is a GSXR 600 too much for a beginning bike?

    The bike won't be an issue at all, it'll be your ego that will allow you to get hurt. Provided you do not lose sight of the fact you are new to this and accept it will take years to become good, you'll be fine. If you find yourself trying to keep up with other sports bikes that are getting a...

    Steering issue

    Similar problems? In 35 years of riding and racing - no. Start looking at tyre condition, pressures, head and wheel bearings in that order. Plenty of online guides to show how to check them all. I'll be surprised if the fault isn't one or more of those issues, all easily remedied and...

A can alone will only make a difference to the look and sound, virtually nothing to performance and you will want to get the bike's...

    A light rattling sound when cold but perfect when hot - cam chain tensioner?

    I have recently bought a SRAD 750 that had been stored for 16 years. I have stuck a 1000 miles on it and it is very good, it's great to be back on a 750 SRAD.:cool: That said, I notice when cold there is a light rattling sound which disappears when up to temperature. It sounds perfect when...

    Rough Castings Refinishing

    Hi, I've recently returned to the fold of GSX-R's, I bought a brand new SRAD in 97 and another in 98. After searching for ages I have finally found a very low mileage (4200 at purchase) SRAD identical to my preferred 98 one. This bike though had been stored for 16 years, I quickly...
