Going to look at one this weekend with a view to buy if its in good nic.

First GSXR, not first suzuki (i know about their finish), anything specific to look out for with these models?

Gearboxes? Brakes?

Any info appreciated.

Cheers

Check for bubble/scorching in the headlamp lens, it can melt if the wrong bulb is in there, not a massive problem but could be a not so cheap fix dependent if it bothers you. I've just left mine as it is. There were two or three like it when I was looking for mine.

Yea mine has done that bubbling thing. Though it was like it before I took ownership. Aside from that i have owned mine for 5 years now (I think) and have had zero issues with it.
Mines the k5 600 model but it's all the same. Really struggling to think of things to look out for on it.

No real problems with mine, had a little leak from a seal near the front sprocket but that's about as bad as it has been.

Front right fork leg has had a leak from the join with the black part (where the calliper mounts) and the stanchion, though this appears to be a rare thing.

Noisy cam chain tensioners to.

Just make sure that it's not Paddy's former one, and you should be OK Laughing

Prepare for clunge to throw itself at you Cool

I had an older GSXR, so not really much I can add, but get yourself clued up on the FI error codes here https://www.gsxr.com/showthread.php?t=1234

Connector needs shorting by a paperclip or equivalent.

Fairly nippy little buggers though, found mine had the handling and flickable nature of the 600 with a little more low down go go juice.

GSXR finish is generally better than any other Suzuki I've owned or ridden.

Suzuki make excellent gearboxes.

Usual sportsbike things - Fork seals, etc.
