Nice bike!

Any pics of the process?

**THE SRADIATOR** · 02-23-2008, 09:51 AM

Why was it a "mare" ?
The srad 750 mototr bolts directly into a srad 600 frame with No drama what so ever!
Did you use a new gen motor in a srad frame or vice versa?

info on the tail swap

**TheRig** · 02-23-2008, 12:46 PM

it was a mare due to.

1. i used the existing 600 bits to run the 750 engine, coils,ecu etc, it ran like shite.
2. The clutch was foobard, also the rings were shot, hassles of buying a 2nd hand lump i guess, so had to strip it all (twice, 1st time i did the cam chain and clutch at the same time and slipped a tooth so had to re-alaighn,then found out the rings were shot so had to totally strip it again.
3.had to source all the 750 auxilleries,coils,ecu loom etc etc.

The 750 lump fits easy enough, but gettin it runnin right is another matter

so thats why it was a mare really, bad luck and a mix of bad mechanics/long days/tired etc.

The back end is from a k4 1000.

used exisitng SRAD rear subframe and cut to suit.

will post up some pics of the process/bits

cheers

when i stubbied it

**bensexcessbikes** · 02-23-2008, 01:29 PM

Nice job. Like the tail. Looks like the angle is a little high though?

What kind of exhaust mid-pipe is that? With the high-mount Akrapovic can?

**StrtVln1000** · 02-23-2008, 01:55 PM

what kind is that small exhaust? my wife wants one, she thinks its cute...

im serious, what brands are like that so i can look into getting one (or cutting something up). nothing too loud though.

**TheRig** · 02-23-2008, 06:03 PM

the stubby can was just a cut down of another can i had.

**TheRig** · 02-23-2008, 06:04 PM

the hi level pipe is a stainless steel akrapovic one

**pasta847** · 02-24-2008, 01:15 AM

the tail doesnt really flow with the rest of the bike, maybe im just drunk but otherwise that shit tight.id like to do the 750 swap to mine.

hey where did you buy the rear tail frame @ ?? what year is that off of ??

did you have to modify/cut/anything to it to fit on the SRAD?? I have a 2000 GSXR 600 srad .... and think it looks great!

I'm thinking of swapping over to a 750 too .... how much in all did it cost you to swap?? did you take apart and re-build the 750 motor or was it plug and play??

thanks for the info bro!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

why dont you read the thread instead of bringing it back from the dead to ask questions already answered

**BigBadWalster** · 01-29-2009, 10:44 AM

Nice SRAD .. I'm thinking of doing a 750 engine change on my 600 .. just want to know . Did you use the inj model engine or the early carb model engine ? Did you change the fuel pump?
Thanks .......

**TheRig** · 01-29-2009, 12:55 PM

Fitted a 750 SRAD Carb`d engine and stuck with original fuel pump

**BigBadWalster** · 01-29-2009, 04:25 PM

Hi again .. You said you had to fit the 750 ecu and leads.. would it not run on the 600 leads and coil packs?? . which ign parts did you fit ??
just so i know wot i have to get Cheers

**TheRig** · 02-06-2009, 01:55 PM

it will run with the 600 ecu/coil sticks but it wont run to its full potential,so really you`ll still have the 600 map etc so will lack some power.

TDC Is 1 degree different too so it was a bit lumpy at idle

to get the 750 engine runnin right

engine
coils x2
headlight loom
main loom
750 airbox
ecu
carbs

**nitrous36** · 02-06-2009, 01:58 PM

Nice! Like the tail swap too.

**PHiBRELiNX** · 03-07-2009, 06:47 AM

Anymore photos of the rear, maybe without the rear cowl.
Also front angle photos.

Thanks.

I'm thinking of getting an SRAD for track use, but I'm not liking the rear section.
(I've had one before.. crashed it a long time ago.)

thanks.
