Hi
Just browsing @ a Gixxer 4 as a track bike, how hard is it to find parts for it? As hard as people say it it?

You know it's very rare that these are ever raced - got to be a good reason for that. I suspect they don't handle as well as other 400's, cos that one at BDB a couple years back was a missile in a straight line, 12.7 second 1/4 mile etc.

You can get the main parts here. Ebay is where I go for parts though.

might be worth taking a look at www.400greybike.co.uk
should be able to source a good amount of spares from there

Depends which model...

If you go for the one like mine, bloody impossible! I spent all summer chasing bits, and Dad still ended up fabricating peg hangers because we just couldn't get any to fit anywhere.

Yeah that's the same as Annabella's. GK73a right?

https://www.ridersmotorcycles.co.uk/page15.html This is the proper link then. That one I posted above was for the GK76a, which is the 1990> bike.

easy to get parts for gsxr400 gk76a's

an urban myth i reckon

Most of them take RGV parts (except for the engine of course!)

They handle well, but are mainly not raced as its cheaper and easier to get the RGV which handles a little better and is far cheaper to tune to race spec.

deffo a myth. i've never had any problems!!! Very Happy

i usually go on ebay or a place in preston called 'fastline'. they've got breakers and new parts!! Thumbs Up

and as for saying they dont handle, Shocked

you've obviously never ridden one !! like it's on rails mate!!
like dafrostyone says,probably just cheaper to get an rgv or a crappy cbr! Laughing

The 1989 is the 73a...

I struggled to get parts, really struggled, but the toil is worth it. The bike handles brilliantly, the response is fast - I find it much easier to corner due to the weight distribution.

If anyone wants some R and G crash bungs for the GK76a, put your name down in the GSXR section at www.400greybike.co.uk, thw guy organising it needs 10 to go ahead, 3 or 4 more needed I think.
