[Leon1987]

hi there,

my friend is selling his gixxer 1000 its a k8, he is putting it back to standard so is removing the exhaust system, its a full yoshi system,
does anyone know if this would fit on my 600 k8

cheers

ps... also can i convert my clutch to make it hydrolic instead of cable

cheers

Doesn't the GSXR1000 have twin pipes while the 600 has a single?

Plus why do you want a hydraulic clutch, out of the bikes I've ridden, I've always preferred a cable clutch.

this is what i thought but his definatly has only single pipe, he said he done a single pipe coversion :s
it was a curious question about the clutch, we was chatting bout it, i dont mind cable clutch either

Your best bet would be trying to fit it and seeing how much adjusting needs to be done. I think the 1000 downpipes are quite a bit different to the 600 ones.

Hi

While it might fit it will probably lose you a load of power. The lengths / bores of the down pipes and how they join together is VERY important for power, defining where in the rev range the engine produces its power. Hence putting a pipe design for a lower revving 1000 onto a higher revving 600 will probably lose you top end power, and a fair chance that in the mid range you won't gain anything

As to clutches, for road use I far prefer a hydraulic clutch. Less maintenance, lasts longer before anything needs replacing, doesn't get stiff from an aging cable and no chance it is going to be affected by the bars being turned. Down side is marginally slower action.

All the best
