: 98 problems?
Mach9 04-08-2002, 04:23 AM I've been looking into buying a 98 750, though I've heard some people say the 98 has quirks with the FI. Just wondering if anyones had problems with the FI system or anything else I should be aware of on a 98 before I jump into anything uneducated. Since I'm obviously new here, let me say the site and forums are great.
I have owned a 98 750 for 5 months & have covered
nearly 7,000kms in this time.
I havn't experienced any probs in this time. It has been used in town & at high speed, I would recomend these bikes to any one who likes a bit of speed & knee scraping.
Kennedy 04-08-2002, 07:08 AM The only complaint I have is sometimes the FI is on / off at lower revs. The power doesn't come on real smooth, instead it snaps a little. This isn't a big problem, but it is something that you have to be aware of. Other than that, no problems.
kidphc 04-08-2002, 07:38 AM Mine was a little hurky jerky in the first 1/4 throttle. Especially, in traffic. A quick remap of the FI solved that one. I will never go back to a non FI bike again.
Now the only problem with my bike is the idiot on the seat. graemlins/bash.gif
the TRE mod really smoothed things out for me, i made it switchable so making the same low speed U-turn with it on then off see's a huge difference!
i loe it! dont seem to be having any probs here either!...touch wood!

Get a Manual CCT for it.

Mach9 04-08-2002, 04:11 PM Sounds good thanks for the quick responses. I'll have to see what kind of deal I can get now. Suxs being a student.
spongebob 04-08-2002, 09:11 PM i have a 98, the fi is no problem, but the tre was very worth the $14 i paid..
Hammer 4 04-08-2002, 11:37 PM Ditto..remapped, and did a TRE..very smooth on the low end.... images/icons/grin.gif
kirei78 04-09-2002, 02:53 AM I had no probs with mine except that i changed the cct and cam chain once.the tre mod smoothed things out.
To gsxr freak,can the stodk ECU be remapped?

khack750 04-09-2002, 06:22 PM I had a problem with mine when I first got it. After only 150 miles on it, whenever I started it up, the RPM's would shoot above 10,000. I got a whole new FI system and since have been racing it for the past 3 yrs and not a single problem.

But you should still look into a manual CCT, and if you race, it is that much more reason to get one.

Marty moose 04-09-2002, 08:29 PM Sorry guys shit I hate that. Now for the QU What is the TRE mod you all talk about.
GSXR-Freak 04-09-2002, 10:44 PM TRE = Timming Retard Eliminator.
Zuk put a retard on the first 3 gears below like 6000 RPM... Seems it was for smog crap... You can put a 15Kohm resistor on the Gear Position sensor, makes the bike think it is in 6th gear all the time...
