yo is it me or are more people out there sick of bustin sub frames/frames on the gsxr 1000...i am either going to take the bar of and bus tails or sell this bad girl and get a 929 or some 600..what your take on this fellas?

Peyton

Yea, just go with A Honda

nunu

is it really that much better on the honda's..it's not even like i slam em on the bar its like wen you go to drag the tail even after putting it down soft it will just break something...if i get the honda and throw a bar on it will i not break it too

FLAK600RR

Hey nunu its your boy flako if you dont want your gsxr no more i'll trade you my 929rr 2001 with 2 sets of plastics for it.

BunaRocket

I'll do that trade, lol, and throw in an engine, lol.
Honda's are much better on subframe strength. I'm tired of breaking mine too, I've gone through 3 so far, and am on the 4th one

Put braces on the subframe.....beef it up.

GSE Mike

beef it up or ...don't slam ur subframe

Spark~R.O.C.

no joke....................................ease it down.....dont try to put a hole in the ground.

nunu

yo flako i am getting a new paint job right now hopefully i will be back up by thurs...so we can do a test ride..i know you now the 1000 but i never rode a 929...yo R.O.C I set it down nice and easy but when you try to scrape for any distance..it just pops the subframe..if you miss a little on a coaster then its over for the subframe...thats why i am thinking of not running a bar,,just the cage

AdrenalneJnky

id say control it a little more, i know alot of people with gsxr, have no prob so.....

just dont slam it down so hard really.....

I have broken three on my '01 750. The first one was when I was learning 12's, and the other two happened when I learned to park tank wheelies and seat standers. I have been lucky lately, but Lou Brakant made some kick *** supports for the GSX-R's. They bolt behind the rider rearsets and up to the lower subframe mount. Haven't had any problems since. It also helped when I ran a longer bolt in the lower mounts with a nut on the back to stiffen it up where they were breaking. (the left side lower mounting hole). If you want a set of nice braces cheap, send Lou a pm.

beef that **** up, i got some support braces on mine and it's fine now. i know several people gettin sick w/ stock sub's. jason britton's subframe is unmodified and he does all sorts of bar stuff including scraping highchairs. he doesn't have any problems

nunu

allright then i will check into that support bracket deal...so i guess the question now is what would most of you like to stunt....the 1000 or the 929...i never rode the 929...stunted on a 01 gsxr600 and it felt like i could do anything on it compared to the 1000...creeping 12v's with the stock gearing...the 1000 got -1,+4 and it cuts out on me when i get too slow.

I broke 3 subframes and a frame, the last subby I broke I was easing it down, and it still broke where it mounts to the frame.

So I took the bar off, and blow out tailights, it looks kind of cool :YEAH

Pat-trick

i am sick of breaking sub frames too.

i dont do very many bar tricks any more. and i rarley slame it down on the bar.

i went through 18 sub frames last year. i am on my second one this year.

i can figure it out. ????????????????????????????

i am affraid to build one out of steel cause it might break the ears off the frame.


any suggestions.

JAY-SOI

03 gixxer 1k doesnt have that prob

Jay Carnes

Prozak has a steel subframe for his 929 & he's never had any problems. He broke a stock subframe & went right to the steel one. Frames still ok.
But 18 subframes, holy ****! eBay must love you.

naturalborn

yeah get a honda, but make supports, we have made steel braces , look at darius's bike, he made some sort of supports himself

daCrunk1

I strapped mine up like thishttp[COLOR=Red[U]]://www.stuntlife.com/forums/showthread.php?t=51311&page=3 [/COLOR[/U]]been riding it for awhile now like this but I suggest you have a str8 subframe before you put'em on works a hell of alot better

GreggV

I have been running this setup for almost 8 months no problems with it.........
