Hi guys, I just recently bought an 07 Black GSXR 600. Last night I was cleaning the bike I found something quite odd IMO. I'm not sure if the bike comes like that normally or something is wrong with it. I also did some research but found nothing, so I figured I might give you guys a try. The problem is that when I set the bike at the STRAIGHT position, the handlebar and the steering damper (I think that's a correct word for it) are not PARALLEL with each others. Is this normal for our bikes? Should I be worry? :dunno

I also have a picture below, please let me know.
Thank you.

You have got to be kidding me.... :facepalm


Remember when your teacher said there is no such thing as a stupid question? She lied. :spit

Yes..that is perfectly normal. The steering damper has no need or reason to be parrallel with your handlebar...

Yes.. I do. I didn't call him stupid. The question was stupid. He got his answer, yet you want to pick a fight over the internet about the way I responded.


I even used this smiley " :spit " in the response to tone it down a bit...so why don't you get the hell over it.

I am done responding to you as of now.

I don't think you can ask a stupid question about a vehicle that can carry you over 150mph and possibly kill you. Only stupid question is the unasked question. :thumbup:

I will have to agree with njyork42. These kind of questions are alarming! Maybe his response was a little brutal, but The agression develops knowing that these same people could be coming up behind you one day at a high rate of speed. Scares me. Just knowing that a manual would be last on the list of things to do. Riding becomes secondary. I think some of you would agree!

Where have I spoken like an uneducated person? I slip up from time to time, especially while typing fast on a forum, but my grammar isn't that bad. Please look at your response. The sentence should have been structured as follows: "You have all of those degrees, but you still type as if you were uneducated. That's sad."

I hope English is your second language. I won't even begin to correct your original post. It is beyond butchered.
