mikkee

...and those glitches would be????

deathwishriders

could you be more vauge? hahha ok i know what you are sayin,thankz--d

Oil starvation, long term durability, cracking frames, weak fairing stays.... All can be circumvented but they are still problems. Dont get me wrong, I love my GSXR and wouldnt get rid of it but I feel that it has more issues than the Honda.

I just got rid of my 01 GSX-R and got a 02 F4i. The F4i's are so much easier to ride seems like the gsx-r throttle response is too violent I can feather the F4i much better. Also the frames on the GSXR's are junk and they just feel huge compared to an F4i. I don't think I'll ever stunt anything other than a Honda for now on!

I just picked one up and I like it thus far. Went from a 00R6 to a 01 GSXR600.

deathwishriders

it sounds like our bikes should come with a spare motor and frame...lol

now come on..is a gixxer the "harley" of sportbikes?

jowalskiMO

yep. i know a guy whos bike has been in the shop more than he has rode it for motor blowage issues.... oil pickups only prolong the problem...... subframes suck....

my buddy rides as hard as i do...he blew his motor and mine is workin perfectly fine..thats my only reason to dislike suzuki so thats why i voted they suck.

YellowGixxer

I know i've had my gixxer like 1 month and 3 weeks and the upper stay bracket broke in half. i know they need to stregthen those BAD and when it breaks you cant weld it or nuttin cuz its that gay *** pop metal taht cant take any Heat. and whats this about gixxer motors being shitty???

mikkee

I know 2 guys with F4i's - One has been through 3 motors this year already and he only rides the lot.. Another who has had his for 6mo and just went through a motor. I've had my 00 750 for a year and a half now. Had oil pick-up since day one motor still strong and smooth. Re-enforced sub fr. 905 no breaky or twisty. MXD track cage on gixxer = no hit upper - unless of course you nose dive tat shiet then any stay factory or custom steel stays will bend to shiet. Anyway that's my exp...

mikkee

Good tig welders have no prob with fixin broken or cracked cast alum.

Lotensin22

I like mine. Granted I'm not rocking spreaders of any really crazy **** yet, but I've had it 4 years, never had a single problem with the bike. Even after dumping a stoppie a long time ago, picked it up and rode it home, aside from hanging lights and ****, I'd have never thought it just went sliding.

DoodleF4i

crap..known lots of people blowing motors,cracking frames...their good bikes but not for stunting.

f4stunna

its a gixxer...... enough said

Division1 Ryan

I rocked my 750 for 3yrs, its a good bike but frames are garbage, subframe tabs, kinda heavy. Good endo bikes though. But if your coming off a 900rr, the gixxer has to be better.

deathwishriders

Cool, your opinion means alot.... thankz bro.

aight whos next?

is a gixxer a piece or what?

Gixxers arent that bad. They damn sure arent a honda but they arent the worst. I ran through 9 motors in my 750 back in the day. The main reason I think I went through that many motors was because the gixxers have always been the track bike to have. Club racers would buy a year old streetbike, flog it on the track and sell it on ebay with "2500 miles" and then some poor stunter would buy it and it would blow within a couple months. If you throw an oil pickup in a motor that isnt already about to blow up it will run for a long long time (as long as you dont do revlimiter anything, hah).

The motors arent bad, they just arent.. well.. good. If you have ever been inside a gixxer and a honda engine you will understand the difference right off the bat.
