1992 GSX-R600 Resucitation

You've got your work cut out for you, but people have done alot with much worse...

Lots of valuable info on here, use the Search functions (as I'm sure you've been doing), and don't be afraid to ask when you get stuck...


Welcome... :cheers

That shock is a good choice...feels good to get rid of the stock reservoir, it really cleans things up.

Will you be running an airbox or pods?

I picked up a set of Goodridge lines from eBay UK a while back...80 bucks, couldn't be happier...

Might want to get a K&L master cylinder rebuild kit while you're at it, they're around $20, mine was nasty...

For whatever reason, I cannot find the part number for that washer on any fiche... :scratch

If I were you, I would look around the house at anything that uses small screws, like electronic devices, etc. Maybe you'll get lucky... :dunno

Good choice on replacing those bolts with allen heads...it makes it possible to remove the black slide caps to do needle adjustments with the carbs mounted. Doesn't work so well with Phillips...

... but also did the rack mounts because every single one of them stripped first try, it's like they make carb screws out of butter.

Apparently that's because they use JIS screws, not Phillips:

Mine stripped too, I cranked them off with vice grips and replaced with hex heads, just like yours.

If I ever meet the guy who decided Phillips was a good choice for automotive applications... :bitchslap :lol

Looks great, I love the blue & white colour scheme...reminds me of an old '89 Hurricane I has once.
