A guy I know has broken his gixxer subframe around 3 times already,I've seen a post where someone used diamond plate aluminum to gusset both sides of the subframe,something you might wanna try

I've got a subframe that is slightly tweaked ill sell ya for cheap...i reached back and touched 12 with it when i had the plastics off while they were getting painted, without the plastics it was more like 1 o clock.
Needless to say the end result of that one wasnt much fun...

Re: broken subframe

you might wanna try and switch to the 06-07 subframe since its two parts and use a impatech round bar. The 08 subframe is like paper and just wants to be broke. Can't hold out untill mine does lol

i got mine welded back together. he said he wouldnt feel safe reinforcing it because its a little tweaked, but if i can get one for cheap thats straight he would have no problem doing it

why do people always bash on gsxrs? Try to not slam the ******* thing into the ground and **** will not break! I have had so many along with f4i and 636 and a r6 and really they all hold up the same as long as you don't ****** through your bike down the road. No matter what bike you have it's gonna get fucked up when you learn I don't care what bike it is, Oh and NO the subframes are not same from 06 up. 06-07 is a two piece and 08-09 is one so I would change it out for the two

that wasn't for you by any means it was to the other guy saying all year gsxrs are junk. Also you pick one hell of a year to use for stunting cause they have many corks about them that I am still figuring out. Like the idle not wanting to be adjust cause the ecu wants it at 1400 and there is a sensor in the TB's that self adjusts it. Anyhow I just set my 08 to 2500 and it's smooth and not so chopy. Good luck on that beast

Re: broken subframe

IMPAKTECK IS THE BALLER SETUP FOR SUBFRAMES ON GIXXERS....but, if ur a cheap bastard like me, just get some diamond polate and rivet it directly to ur rear section of subframe...make sure the bolts to ur bar and main subframe go threw the diamond plate too...put it back together and ur good to go...i weigh 250 and spanked mine many of times....iit was broke b4 i even got it and ghettoed it up...worked perfect..
