New bike- several issues 04 gsxr600
New bike- several issues 04 gsxr600
Just picked up an 04 gsxr600 that is in pretty rough shape- I attached 2 pics of what i think is the biggest problem now- missing cage/engine/frame mounting bolt. I'm not familiar with how these cages attach and what type of hardware I need to get to replace it. I attached 2 pics so hopefully someone would recognize who makes this and what type of bolt etc. I need to put in there.

If you want me to upload the really small file size limit of the forum i can do that too if this doesn't work, just let me know
The only other issue I have a question on is when I got the bike it was being run a quart over oil. I changed the oil and only put in 1/2 a quart over, 5-40 shell rotella T. now it seems like at certain rpm ranges the left side of the engine is really noisy- i'm thinking it is worse in 2nd gear. any thoughts? other guy running a heavier weight oil? There's no tach either- do you think that it would still have the ignition cut out at redline or can this be disabled? I'm just a little worried I might be over revving it since there's no tach.
And one of the brake caliper bolts allen stripped out trying to take it off- I'm planing on having a mechanic grind the bold head off and then putting in some stainless bolts- anyone know where to get stainless caliper mounting hardware? I was thinking of trying an EZ out myself but after reading that those can break and you have hardened steel stuck in there I thought it might be better to have someone grind it off and pipe wrench it out....?
I know it's a lot of questions, but i really appreciate any input!
Thanks,
Rg
