That pipe kind of reminds me of my old TLR. Looking forward to seeing the class develop more and make track duties a bit more realistic with newer equipment.
Great vid. Looks & sounds awesome. It has so much potential as a platform. Out of interest did you remap the ECU for the new exhaust &/or do any airbox mods at all?
I need help lowering the levers as well. - The spider clip on tubes you are using are 250mm, do I need to order a bracket separately for that? If so, what size bracket? - Do I need to get new forks in order to replicate this process or can I use the spider clip-ons with the standard forks? -Lastly, If i follow through with this, would I need the triple clamp? Please help me! Im new to the motorcycle community
can you add part numbers for all of the bits, especially the Bitubo and Spider parts. If the HEL brake lines were custom sizes, do you know what those lengths are? Lastly, what company did you mention for the ABS block off plugs?
Is it easy to remove the ignition lock on the GSX 8R. I can manage it mechanically, but how does it work electrically? Does the model have an immobilizer?
Nice Video ! :) Where can I buy the intermediate piece that is mounted between the exhaust and the rear frame? (the pillion pegs were previously installed there)
Very similar 0-60 numbers these Vtwins deliver power differently. Peak torque is lower 60s at 6400 rpm. Where normal sport bikes have that 100+ HP but 40-50ft lbs of torque.
@@jroc6082 Its a great bike im not arguing that fact. Im just saying I have put over 40,000 miles on 600's and I would take it over it. I also have an R1 so if I want torque ill just ride that. I guess I was being kinda a dick. Sorry about that. You cant go wrong really, GSX-8R is a cool bike. Stay safe out there.
@@JD-fd6gt no worries man. I just saw a bunch of HP comments and I think everyone just missed the point of this bike it's a 0-90 bike after that it's a dog lol I have an 8s it's fun as shit to rip around town and back roads on. Stay safe too my friend.
@@ST-kq9py , i know, so why just dont buy the R1 ? Pretty sure even 100% stock is track worthy. And the engine is on another planet compared to this suzuki.
@@Mike.4639 I think all the new twins are such a let down and basically a watered down substitute for all the real bikes before them, I have a ‘22 60th Anniversary R1 and it’s such an epic bike.
While i agree, the motor characteristics as well as ease to ride make it worth it to some people. Me personally I’d get the rs660 or r7 bc they are already set up to be track worthy.
that looks and sounds ace, I've got a feeling we will start seeing these everywhere in a year
Builds like this are cool, taking an affordable bike and turning it into a track bike!
I hope Suzuki makes a GSX-8RR version with clip ons and fully adjustable suspension some day.
I think Suxuki was too timid in designing the bike.
Pienso exactamente lo mismo, y con 4 cilindros y 15cv más
That bike looks and sounds brilliant! They should send them out of the showroom with this spec 👌🙌
What a beauty

Im interested to see how much faster. Good work!
These new Suzuki twins are so sweet!
Love this type of content !! Mods, tweaks…Good job !!
What about carbon wheels? Sure that would help with weight and turning capability. Lower bars make it look so much better, and that exhaust is awesome
Love it. Can't wait to see it in action.
Whats cost of those mods ?.
Powerslide all the way ..absolutely top boys wouldn’t use any other
I'm trying to sell my current track bike and get one of these, to do the same type of upgrades.
Top job!
Any update on this series? Is the lack of aftermarket support making it more difficult than expected.
The 270deg parallel twin concept was a winner indeed
That ‘Kieran’ guy is my dad 😂 I’m on call to my cousin and her dad my dads brother wanted to watch this so that’s why I’m watching it 😂😂
Don't forget the air box mods
Very nice m8! Did you have clearance issues with the clip ons hitting bodywork???
Looks and sounds great😊
One inch more, “that’s about 6 inches, right”. 😂

Awesome

I am building one in America and looking for some parts. Not much available here. Can you provide me with some vendors info?
Any details on the clip ons pls ? Those turn this into a beaut imo 😍
Wonder if they had to flash the ECU for the exhaust.
Whens part 3 coming out?
Could have a custom underbelly exhaust for reduced weight.
Better get that ECU flashed or you're leaving a lot of power on the table, even with the exhaust swap.

I think those ABS blocks were Bitubo

Dyno (before and after), cost and point of exercise?
What Spark exhaust model is this? Their website doesn't show anything for the GSX-8R...
Nice Video ! :)
Where can I buy the intermediate piece that is mounted between the exhaust and the rear frame? (the pillion pegs were previously installed there)
When's day 3
Good morning.
What is the name of the lowering handlebar kit please? (Vidéo 6.15)
+ steering cylinder
I don't get why you are still keeping the front indicators and the headlight in.
Bro I have this bike and the handlebars are too high. The darn things don’t come off?
Where did you get the exhaust from???
what rear suspion did you guys use?
I like the exhaust, where i can buy that? I need that exhaust pf my suzuki 8R. Please send some linlk. Thank you.
Wheres the dyno?
With new pipes, is it recommended to do a tune or flash or does it not really matter?
If you decat yes.
I would take a CBR600RR instead of this GSX-8R any day of the week. About 50 pounds lighter and 25 more hp give or take.

People overstate the importance of saving weigth, every 5kg off is the equivalent of adding 1hp, so not that big of a diference
Bike + mods = stock R1 price ...
Yep 💯. Crazy how much money it costs to make a soft sportsbike into a track capable bike.
@@ST-kq9py , i know, so why just dont buy the R1 ? Pretty sure even 100% stock is track worthy. And the engine is on another planet compared to this suzuki.

Stay away from Triumph, pure garbage
All these mods cost more than the bike itself!
Wonder why manufacturers don’t just go race shift from the outset on all bikes. It’s hardly an engineering challenge, and makes sense on the road.
Why? I don't get the obsession with reversing the shifting pattern
@@andreassakkas7234 changing up whilst cornering is much easier to push down otherwise you unweight the peg. It’s also more natural.
Normal shifting was ok for Kevin Schwantz and it works ok for me
You forgot to upgrade the most important thing: The rider
Something about these new bikes just screams cheap and ugly design.
L of a model if you ask me
you could cheat as motogp do, by adding aero wings for more downforce, hate it btw
Lmao all 70 hp at the track. That's a newbie bike. It's road junk
It's my first bike, it's good and sporty enough. It isn't supposed to beat out high revving 4 cylinder bikes m8
@lil_shrimp6404 Definitely gotcha. Get the feel then move up.
@@NoelAbbott-u6k I might next year after I fully pay it off. I think I want a v4 type of bike, I like the sporty muscle sound ducati produces
Beautyfulllllllllllllllllllll🤩
I hope Suzuki makes a GSX-8RR version with clip ons and fully adjustable suspension some day.
With a v4 or crossplane inline 4
