Re: engine knock

try just doing an oil change w/ 20w50 and also check your cam chain tensioner, cheaper route, or even take it to the dealer and have the tech listen to it.

if you ebayed it

you can get a ton of cash parting it out.

or you can try to sell it here peice by peice.

i loved my gsxr....but it's just too dam fragile.

too many bad things happen.

desing flaws ect.

you could ebay the motor itself for some cash.. hey it runs....only tell em what ya have to about it.


sorry to hear another gsxr owner realizing the truth about the suzuki's.


buy honda.

Re: engine knock

Thats rough with the motor.. good luck finding one. ....and A little bit off topic.. Do motor mounts connected to FI cages break easily on gsxr 750s? And how would you fix em..

Re: engine knock

And get yourself a different oil pickup so you don't blow another motor.......

And there are alternatives (better) than the one everyone here craps on about.PM me if you want details
