Okay im sure this has been asked before and I could probably dig around for an old thread, but what is the best cage for an 05 GSXR 600? Also wondering about best 12 bar and sprocket. Whats a good size sprocket for starting out? Anyways any help would be great.

 

Powers Cage And A Fi Bar All The Way.

 

For cages...anything except for F.I. when first learning.. and if your going to put a bar reinforce the subframe...

 

i have a powers and the thing is rock solid. It has pancaked from 12 twice and took countless lowsides and get off's. If your just learning, the FI 12 bar is a good choice. Thats what i started with, now im runnning powers 12 bar because its shorter. As for sprockets 10 over stock is good for your bike once you have gotten used to balance point. I started out 1 down in the front and moved to 10 over when i got used to balance point.
and search this forum for the A-frame subframe support. Its the one i used and I havent dusted a subframe yet (knock on wood)
get braided brake lines and run dot 4 or better brake fluid.
hope this helps.

 

Running a F.I. 12 bar moved in about an 1 1/2 puts it right at 12. I have run a freestyle type cage. I would say also stay away from them until you get really good. They bend real easy. Going with a powers now and I broke a few subframes doing stoppies and scraping, just brace front rearsets to pass pegs and your prolly ok there. Make sure and mod the crankcase vent before you have an airbox full of oil, or a lot of smoke. Also they say an oil pickup is a must have item! I am running stock front sprockets and 60 in rear. Love the setup!

 

The oil pickup is a definite must have ive already smoked one motor without it. I have a 905 cage and have dropped the bike hundreds of times and its solid. the subframe is a problem though and Ive cracked the frame and had it welded 3 times

 

+1 and a stuntex oil pickup is a must have on a gixxer

 

02 750 idle screw.

 

I m SFed so I just got a piece of automotive fuel line slid over my idle screw and it rests by my sprocket cover with a bolt in the other end to make it easy to turn. Hose is really stif and does a excellent job for free!!

 

Nice!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I have FI on my gixxa however I'd personal pick SI over FI in no time.....One thing that bothers me ...How do the hell can i reinforcement subframe ?

 

I have been down that road many times after I got a 12 bar...... Even broke one doing stoppies. Just go and get some flat bar and brace from the passenger pegs to the rearsets. I haven't had a problem since I braced mine. Also make sure and locktite all your bolts and check them periodically. loose bolts will crack a subframe too.

 

i will try and get some pics of my re-inforcment up later today. It cost about 15$ for materials and i had a friend do the welding for free. I dont gorrilla scrape very often but its held up to over 100 soft scrapes/drags with no incident.

 

Thats cool , I'd love 2 take look at your picture.

 

i got a 01 750 and the only cage id ever use on any bike is tygershark its pricy but they got a life time warranty U BREAK IT THEY REPLACE YEAH!!!!

 

Thats stupid yea the will replace it but it will cost you 100 dollars to do so......could almost buy another type of cage that WONT break and you WONT need a lifetime warranty......im gonna say this agian....



TYGERSKARK SUCK!!!!:w hoopass:

 

Here is how I do it. Rock Solid!!!!!!






I do the same thing with the 06/07 subframes.

You don't need a special oil pickup, just run extra oil.

 

That looks awesome! ill post pics of my reinforcement when I get home I just took an FI 12 bar and made a skeleton around the outside of the subframe and made it tie to itself and bolt to the frame its a tad heavy but its a TANK.

I just built a r6s subframe for my friend and realized it was no harder than my brace so Im just gonna build a steel subframe in a few weeks should be pretty sick

 

Thanks!!! That's Version 1 of the method I used. Since then I've gone to a thinner material to not add too much thickness/width to the subframe. It's very strong. I slipped off the brake, gas'ed it, and it slammed back on the bar so hard it bent the bar, but did not crack the subframe.... I'm happy with it. I do my upper stays with the same kind of reinforcement.

It's much less time consuming to buy an aftermarket steel one. I just hated the way they looked. So I modified the stock one.

Version 2 has thinner plating and some added support in a couple areas that never broke, but I saw stress cracks forming. The 06+ I've done two ways. I've made a solid subframe from the three pieces after plating, and plated the three pieces, then bolted them together, like stock. Either method works great.

 

no no buddy fi powers and sick innovations suck.... and actually its only $30 bucks to send it back never had to though in 2 years i got my 300 out of it already!!!
