had my gsxr 600 k6 for about 2months now and im finding it boring :/

how can i make it abit more fun and lively,

if fitted a tre but it hasnt made much of a difference is there any outher cheap mods to give it abit more pop and make it fun

Learn to ride it properly ?

try riding different roads and riding with different people. You will find the varying circumstances you find yourself in will require different skill sets and your bike to do things that you don't normally ask it to do. This will increase your knowledge and understanding of the bike and what it can do rather than just making it go faster. Failing that try a track day or failing that just stick nitrus on it.

lmao, its just you pin the throttle and it stays on two wheels lol

it lifts with the clutch but its more fun wen its a struggle to kept it behaving :/ i mean its nice through twistys and stuff but when ure not going out to find twistys and ure just poping out for abit its so plain

you;re obviously not riding it hard enough, my mate K& is wheelie happy!

very true jim

how long have you been riding, 2months and you think a k6 gsxr is boring

if your that good a rider you should be racing or at least track daying in the fast group.

if you want to make your bike more lively you could go out and buy

full yoshimura system
yoshimura cams
yoshi head gasket (the larger thicker model )
power commander 111
yoshi loom
change the gearing, down 2 on the front and up 4 back on the back like my old k3 had

upgarde the suspension so you can really throw the bike through the twisites

ive had this bike for about two months had a ninja before that,

its got a scorpion street extreme exhaust on it with de-cat pipe and a tre thts it,

was thinking about a 1/5th trottle insert

Play around with the suspension settings,it'll feel like a different bike. Not neccessarily for the better but it will be different.
Make a note of the original settings so that you can revert back after you've had enough of riding around on a bike with shite suspension.

When you've put the suspension back to it's original settings it'll feel like a new bike again. ( providing you havn't binned it in the process).

i think youve got my mates old bike and he was fairly rapid on it

the quick action throttle is always worth thinking about as would be some rearsets with the race shift setup

its duncans from GT, i was thinking about some rearsets as i keep thinking im gunna catch them after scraping the peg and can on a roundabout loll

Yep thought it was dunc's. He was quite capable of popping the front up off the throttle without too much trouble at all

How long you been riding in general ?

Thought about going to llandow top try a different style of riding ?

Would have to agree with jimr the 600 will keep up with litre bikes in the right hands and is more than enough for the roads we have, When you say pin it and nothing happens what gear are you in

I ride a 2001 gsxr 600, during the winter i have fitted a pc111 & k&n filter (it already had an akrapovic can) this made a big difference to the bike, I also put braided lines and a gear indicator on it, its a far better bike to ride now and the front lifts in first no probs

Its not cheap but i recommend the pc111

yeah spoke to dunc about landow he said it aint a very good track to ride,

learnt to ride bikes when i was 14 and been doing it since really,

and i said to dunc about the tre he said you dont really want it poping wheelies all the time but i thought id give it ago but dusnt make much difference,
