As far as the mount for the headlight, it comes with some rubber straps that attach to the fork tubes. I did not use these because I needed more clearance for the gauges and I wanted the lights to be aimed correctly so a made up some mounts. I will post the pics of the mounts Tuesday evening when I get home. The turnsignals are screwed into the headlight.

Re: Gsxr Help Page------------------------
awesome thread. i used 2 ear plugs for my tip over sensor,
and i bought an idle adjuster from an 00 750. works great,
as far as the coolant goes, mine really hasnt given me any trouble.
although my bike is running hot so i'm gonna have to troubleshoot that and probly just put some better coolant in it, whats the best way to drain your radiator ? i dont see a petc*ck valve anywhere like my truck used to have.

you adjust your idle up to ride slow wheelies off the idle, 2000 rpms is high if your not stunting. normal idle i think is 1200 to 1400 rpms when the bike is warm

1) Put a switch in to manually flip your cooling fan on. On the 04/05 gsxr the fan doesnt kick in untill the coolant temp is up around 215. By turning on the fan earlier you can maintain a constant flow of air over the radiator and reduce your coolant temperatures (you are more likely to burn out the fan motor but it may save life on other parts).
2) You can also install an oil cooler. While this will not directly keep coolant temperatures down it will reduce the overall temperature of the system.

Re: Gsxr Help Page------------------------
i would expect it to run hot while at the lot,
but like when i'm just cruising around town its a lot hotter than
it used to be, so something is definitely wrong.

Re: Gsxr Help Page------------------------
i love how 98% of the parts on gixxers are interchangeable.
but nah, that thing on the handlebar is more like a choke,
my buddy used to turn it up when doing tankstands, and i could see smoke blowing out the pipe, so i think that would be bad.
the real deal idle adjuster is what u need.

Re: Gsxr Help Page------------------------
under the seat just in front of the battery tray.
I have water wetter in mine and it runs hella cool. The fan comes on in the summer and when I'm really working the engine,but that's to be expected....and this is FL.

Re: Gsxr Help Page------------------------
ust pull the lines off with something under the bike to catch the fluid, that's what I did. it's pretty easy. if you leave like 6 ounces of coolant in the system it will do a great job cooling and not freeze. The whole system holds less than a gallon if I remember correctly.

Re: Gsxr Help Page------------------------
Water wetter is a good product but I would suggest Liquid performance, BETTER than ENGINE ICE and still offers freeze protection, YET unlike Engine Ice it has 0 evaptoration rate. So what about an oil sump pick-up extension for my 99' 600 SRAD? or my Buddies 96' 750 SRAD?
