A guy thats been welding for 40 yeard told me it woudlnt take heat it woudl just blow up

KF_Chris

not true, not even close to being true actually. you have to be a little careful not to burn holes in it but other than that....not too bad.

YellowGixxer

so your telling me i can take my upper stay bracket and weld it with amig welder if the heat is low enough.. then grind it smooth and lay plates on the sides weld those on and it will hold???
:YEAH

KF_Chris

I'm saying that someone who has welded on thin bike parts could help you out....maybe

D. STUNTER

i love my gixxer, but i am worried about the motor i have a stuntex in mine and pray that the motor will hold up i never do rev limiter anything so i hope itll hold for a while i love the looks of a gixxer over any honda and its unique not alot of people are stunting gixxers...im tired of seeing a bazillion f4is

does anyone kno about the oil pickup i have heard it can be bad and good..

jowalskiMO

if you are gonna weld a piece of aluminum, anything other than tig welding it is gonna be crap....... tig welding is alot different than mig as far as heat control etc etc goes....
as far as the motors, i rev lim the **** outta my f4i motor all the time, and my old motor i beat the **** out of.... only reason i swapped motors=harness issues... I treated my old harness shitty and let it get mangled and started blowing fuses alot.... and the clutch finally started slipping after learning on that motor for 2 years or so......
good deal on a new one was the main reason i swapped a whole motor....

Thankz guys...........anyone else with suzuki horror stories post up.......jeez,maybe i should buy an old RR for a "back up" bike lol

whos next

Is a gix a piece of **** or what ?

KF_Chris

I love mine, but the subframe is always in the back of my mind. and I thrashed the front upper support and haven't fixed it...so I always have my headlight bouncing around

nsaneobsession

i started on gixxer and its like everything they heve there ups and downs.the subs are junk and watch out for the frame up front where the neck is the break there all the time the guy that works for me has never even rode a whellie and his cracked all tha way up he bought the bike brand new.as for the oil pick ups . i run a longer hose out the crankcase breather and do away with the emisssions shi.t and run the oil almost a full quart over ive never blown a motor and ill hold my shi,t on the rev limiter for minutes im on the f4i now and i still do it but Ryan was right its the GOD of stoppie bikes if you ask me

Scott982

deathwishriders

naww just kidddin its not my car, it belongs to a stunt spectator who likes to park in the middle of the action...........I dont think he parks there anymore tho....

Im likin the gixx, if she holds together........---d

skillz954

That's funny man, I wouldn't park there either!! LOL

I've been rockin my 01 GSXR 1000 for about 2 years now, only probs, are 1 of the subframe mounts broke and 2 of the lower subframe mount points broke. Other than that this things money.

i had a '02 1000 and it was alright. Only issues i had is subframe tabs, subframes, heavy bike, clutch was waaaaay to hard to pull in, and exhaust valve going out. All those problems started after i was doing slow stuff. Before that, it was a badass bike to have to kill the highways on. I never blew the motor and i sold it with more than 15,000 miles on it and the frame never cracked.

Jessica Maine

i absolutely love eric's gixxer.... i couldn't do half the **** i can do on it on my R6, granted.. working on it.. is rather annoying... buuuuut.. i love the way it rides. (stunting) not streets.. :YEAH

Division1 Ryan

You should have stuck with the Rsizzle.

Jessica Maine

and i'm going to kick you in the nuts!

hey... once I learn my **** on the gixxer.. I'm planning on moving back to the R6...

its just a lot harder to learn on the R6... my baby's too sensitive and fragile.... and well... mine!!

Division1 Ryan

NOOOOO.....I could rock the hell out of stock R6. Easier than a stock gixxer.

Its all in your mind, 2d 7up on the R6 and your good.

YOu better come to Stuntwars this year with more than handstands and power whoolies. I just learned them so its on!

Mo Fo - I've had tabs that hold the upper stay and the top frame tabs that hold the subframe welded. Deep penetrating clean welds that hold up better now than before I broke them. He said it would blow up - he prob just don't have sic aluminum welding skills and didn't want to eff your shiet up.
