I think I did 5 this year, had to sit out for 2-2.5 months due to a broken hand after I crashed.
Poser! You dont need Ohlins till you've done at least 25 track days at TMP....Return the gold stuff
Yeah when I have a next batch to do Im going to toss them in for black
I wish more people spent money on suspension it's money well spent
I plan on keeping this one a while, that's why I just put the good stuff on right away.
I'll enjoy the upgades when I am riding your bike and you are following me on the 250.
I know you're not kidding but I couldn't help but laugh out loud.
LMAO. I'm sitting here giggling like a school girl
Don't GSXRs already have tonnes of ground clearance out of the box?
It's not about ground clearance, it's about changing the geometry of the bike by lowering the forks below the top triple.
The GSXR's are known to handle better when the front and rear is raised.

So your raising the front by dropping the forks through the triples ie. tilting the bike backwards a bit?
Yeah, pretty much. The rule of thumb (or so I've been told) is 5 mm in the front and 5 mm in the rear. I might take it to Ryan Gill at Pro6 after the install and have him set it up right. We'll see.
There is no problem per se, but I just want the best handling characteristics, right off the bat and this is a weak spot for the 06/07 600/750. After speaking with Dave, he suggested I go 5mm up front and 1-1.5 mm adjustment on the shock's ride height. Like I mentioned earlier, I will probably have Ryan Gill go over everything one more time before next season.
......if you don't really know why your changing things maybe leave it as is till you can tell there's a problem (put the cap extenders on though, they'll end up being useful). If the bike isn't doing somthing you like that's when you need to find an answer as opposed to just changing stuff because lots of people do it. Try the bike at stock heights and then try dropping your forks, it takes literally minutes and doing it at the track where you can try it right after the change is the best way to do it. Also just because a pro suspension guy touched the bike it isn't perfect...yet! They get it in the ballpark, it's up to you to tell them what your feeling to help them fine tune your setup which will never be perfect, there's no such thing.
LOL Love it everyone calling you out on a very popular mod for the GSXR's, in fact I have been told by more then one suspension tuner that on your generation its a must. Don't worry Mina your doing the right stuff, and Kyle really only makes the extenders for bikes that benefit from them...
