[Group] SUZUKI GSR 400/600

[yenyenpark]

frens any idea what battery is cheap and worthy for our bikes? any specific model for our bike? mine went dead after 2.5yrs of service. heard LAB selling cheap batt, is it ok for gsr4?

 

Cheap does not mean good. Would suggest you get the recommended battries stated on page 1. In the end, its your call. If you get cheap battires, do tell us what brand and how long it can lasts.

 

 

 

I think nowadays no matter how good the battery, it wont last long.. else the batter factory can close shop.. I heard if the battery can last more than 1 yr happy liao..

[Bone-Eticz]

I dun get it......

 

Dun Worry, my mistake... im Wierd...

 

ANyways...Good MOrning Hopefully tonight got nothing on, it's gonna be my turn----> Transformer - Revenge Of the Fallen....

Good batteries dun come cheap.....look at the original battery. 2.5 yrs? some 3 years with tender, love and care.

 

Cheap and good bery difficult to find. Usually Cheap will come with the word Fast. Coz fast discharge. hahahh

 

The amp-hour does play a big role. Usually the cheaper ones have lower amp-hour.

 

Do correct me if any of the above are wrong.

What is the model? Is it this? FURUKAWA FTX9-BS

This is what is recommended by Suzuki. How much you buy? so can standby money hahaha.

[desmondtan]

yes it is, exactly the same as my old stock batt.

 

any one know is there any after market rear shocks and fork for gsr? i like gsr engine a lot but was very disappointed with suzuki to put in these f.. up shocks n forks. Mine were totally disastrous, fork no damping at all, rear shock totally no rebound damping at all. how can anyone ride a fast bike without gd forks and shock. my gsr felt like pogo stick when i ride.

[Khuboy]

i thought got legal pipe? i went motoworld ask they say dont have leh..

 

legal pipe only for 600. yoshimura is 1 of them.

[Guest motofreak]

If u guys still have the old battries. Mind passing over to me. My cousin asking for old battery for school project

so long never see you around already. after boy-boy fix up your horns the other time never saw u already..

 

anyway speaking of the shocks, you might want to try bikelab. another shop is motoworld for hyperpro or HKL if you want ohlins. the front forks you can only change the internals, or you can try changing the whole front end. those inverted forks from the GSXR could fit but its a lot of job to be done..

[EJ]

and batteries. you guys can get it at Planet motorcycle. i changed mine after 2 years plus of owning the GSR. $60 bucks for the Furukawa..

Ans: Yes you are correct, This goes same theory as a car battery....But bare in mind if there's more accesories install in ya bikes the chances of gadgets, led lamps & gizmo drains certain percentage of the battery...so do be very carefully of installing of electrical items....

Oh Yeah, one more thing.... Battery more than 2years don't...i repeat DON'T top up battery water...Change it without a doubt., nowadays battery are maintance free...it means no need to top up battery water...

 

One last thing, While changing the battery....ask the mechanic to grease up the terminals before they install the battery, it will prevent further corrosion & white powderish forming on the terminals & will provide good contact point during charge + discharge.....Peace...

Ohh Yeah...any other brands avaliable for us to explore?

or u cud try the matris brand brought in by motoworld...looks quite yummy too...to install the inverted forks of the GSXR, you need to use the GSXR triple clamps(and both items doesn't come cheap) then u need to find a way to mount the bracket for the head light...its a lot of work but it sure will satisfy u wit the results...anyway, i was told the GSX1000R forks works best for our weighty GSR...

i believe so. you can try checking out the ohlins website. they do have a replacement rear shock. as for the front ones, they have spring sets. dunno about damping cartridges..

SGD$20 per PAX

Minimum amount to bring is up to u. but to me SGD$100 is enuf.

SGD$100 = RM240.

petrol is Max RM80 to and fro.

So if u bring RM240 - RM80 = RM160. should be enuf for other expenses. Food at Port Dickson is rather affordable. unless if u intended to eat seafood, bring slightly extra.

ah?? if ur talking abt speed, any bike will do... just mount a steering damper to have it stable from tank slapping. if u talk about cornerring? i find GSR stock suspensions abit SLACK. but with the stock suspensions, i manage to scrap my right footrest.

 

BUT if u talk about going Pasir Gudang and take all corners at FAST speed, ride it with the R6 or better bikes with better suspensions......

 

BUT how fast do u wanna go in SG??? as fast as losing the license????

[IvikaRazI]

I thought we agree to get any "road kill" rodent and bbq wen reach the place?
