Bro the suzuki engine is made from respectable gsxr's engine,tell me why should they stop producing them?,funny so far it's not the ride but it's the riders habit that makes it problematic.aniwae,as you can see there are alot of gsrs on the road,so far thereis no issue regarding the bike thaat can cause a recall in the manufactor's line.........

Dear GSR friend, i tot of buying 400 c c bike, cb400vtec or gsr400. i dun want to compare the so and so of this 2 bike. just only want to get a advice of the friendly GSR Friend here of the 400cc gsr engine. i know gsr600 is GSXR engine wat bout gsr400 engine? i concent is the engine durable and reliable as S4? mean dun give problem by itself when normal riding.. Hope for advice. pls dun ask me look back to old forum as i can't be click page by page to search.. ths for all GSR friends and GSR is a very smart and garang look bike.

 

Its the same GSXR engine with a smaller diameter piston and perhaps a shorter stroke.

This was confirmed by a rider here who had to have a major top overhaul which involved stripping the top part till the piston is visible.

 

As Motofreak said, any engine that's maintained within the manufacturer's spec will be reliable.

I had this stigmatic problem with my TLR.

People see my bike and ask me, "Why you buy that bike? Not problematic, meh?" In my 3 years I rode it, the only serious damage I had with it was a blown fuel pump, which was my fault as I tend to ride with reserve fuel quite often.

Same with the GSR. Just because its a new model (at that time) people always think its problematic and unreliable.

The question comes into mind is, how come everyone says that the S4 is super-reliable even though it has a known major history: the famous rectifier issue.

Where its acknowleged that the rectifier will burn out quite often, even under normal use.

That S4 riders had to change batteries more often than any other model (understand about once a year) and, check this part out, some old-timers recommend replacing the Honda OEM rectifier with.... a Suzuki Bandit400 one.

The oldest 400cc inline fours on the roads are the bandit 400's. The oldest i've seen is an FL plate.

ehem...it have the same piston diameter, and the same stroke length.. the only difference between gsxr600 wif bore x stroke [2.63x1.7 in (67 X 42.5 mm)] and gsr600 wif bore x stroke[67.0 x 42.5 mm (2.6 x 1.7 inches)] are the gears...... ayr ago, i checked it out already from the maufacturer's service manual and parts manual..

Dey, we talking about GSR400 difference from GSR600 la.

 

I know K6 - present GSR600 differences from a K4-K5 GSXR600.

Mostly gearbox and the TB / injector size diff (GSR is 38mm vs a GSXR 40-60+ mm which I cannot remember exact figure but I know its bigger).

 

BTW, K6-K7 GSXR 600 onwards is a new design. Totally different gearbox, slipper clutch system, etc.

Even a K5 GSXR600 cannot be compared to it.

No la.

I'm not being sarcastic.

In case you miss.

 

Coz ever happened to me before.

 

I "know" about that. But its up to you all.

I'm ok with jokes and humorous sarcasam, as motofreak just did one over me on Saturday.

 

[Dzal]

well, tau takpe... when everyone is being nice, be nice......anyone can play the sarcastic games when sarcasms are thrown at them..

[WildCard]

I do be nice.

Do a search of my last, say 20 posts, in this thread and see the tone, attitude and content of my post.

 

Has my posts been informative and in the spirit of helping and advicing or simply being a narcissistic idiot?

 

I ask the rest to decide.

 

I've already apologized for the picnic discussion argument and I still turned up and contributed as much as I can for the event.

 

When asked to, I'm all go and all show.

 

I may have a funny view of life at times and it may not fit the image of any normal street joe but when it comes to doing and I say I'm supporting, I'm there.

 

Like I said, I ask the rest to decide.

[Guest motofreak]

No la bro.

If no one is being sarcastic, I'm not being sarcastic.

Want to joke with me, I'm fine.

We've sat through a few kopi sessions together and you have yourself have cracked a few jokes at my expense. Did I go overboard or anything?

 

Did I mention anyone being sarcastic to me?

 

I know la, you guys gather more than me. I understand I missed quite a number of regular outings and all. I have other priorities to commit to and I apologize for that.

 

Like I said, I post here mostly with informational stuff.

Some here have PMed me seeking advice directly and I'm happy to oblige and most have come away being happy and grins on their face.

 

That's all I can do at this point.
