New bike.

[Old Git Racing]

Bought a track 97 srad 600 Suzuki this week. Given it the once over, out on a Cadwell track evening Monday. Seems decent, 10k miles, White power shock, fork kit, dyno jet kit, EBC disks and pads.
Changed oil and filter, Motul 300v gave it a polish and we are ready to go.
Bright red with 98 numberboards on it, come and say hello if you are there.

Was a good evening. Got my pensioners replacement knee down, roll on the next one lol. Bike ran perfect after a few suspension adjusts. Overgeared, ordered some new sprockets.

Have you any photos mate?

As I know nothing about race bikes, but 10k to me sounds high mileage if it's lived most of those miles being caned around? Or was it likely originally road going and converted at a later stage? Genuinely interested.

Done a couple more track days on it and made some changes. Once I'd got a bit more used to it and used to riding like a track rider again the front end was too soft.

Its got '97 forks with no compression adjustment so the forks have been off, drained of what looked like ATF flushed and refilled with 12.5 wt fork oil with a smaller air gap.

On the last one it was running very hot, making it reluctant to start so a new high capacity race rad has gone on.

Also sorted some wets on wheels out (good grief wets are expensive!) so bring on the rain .

Out tomorrow (Friday 23rd) at Cadwell for a pre 97 track day, see how the mods work, fingers crossed.
