not so much on the stretch - How does the bike ride after? How's the handling, slow turns, fast turns, etc?


However, I do love those colors, and the integrated rear light is my fav. of any gixxers!!

Come race me at Silver Dollar and we'll see what's better.

You reply, "Well, meet me at the dragon and we'll see what's better."

But in the broad scheme of things, we both have the best for each of us. I go to the drag strip, not the mountains.

It's not for everyone, but it's a race bike replica and pretty rare, so it's not changing. I'll grab a 2nd bike and have it painted up before this one gets touched.

Pic threads are about opinions. My opinion is a 600 is made to be ridden around turns, short bursts of open road etc. That's why I never got the stretch thing.

I wanted a drag bike I'd look for a 1000 or dat bussa yo:p

I like the simple white blue scheme of the gsxr, I refer the black and silver 08 model

Ruined meaning stretch a 600 and I would have no fun riding it around town.

Personally it's too flamboyant and I feel that a 600 is made to be ridden around town and curve to curve. Stretching it takes away all the fun it was designed to have. For me at least

Woah. You didn't get the idea behind my post. Talk to me for 5 minutes about motorcycles/riding and I'll tell you over and over that I'm a beginner and just manage to keep the bike upright. Definitely skimmed over what I said and jumped to conclusions, bro.

You understand what I was getting at. My post was by no means a pissing contest. It's all preference and what we enjoy. I'm very happy you got a 600 and enjoy the nimbleness of it and use it for what it's original purpose was. I have a 600 to learn and eventually get me ready for a bigger bike that is made for straight line, not to go corner carving.

I run it open pipe on the street, but bolt the muffler on when I run at the track (since it's not exactly tuned for no muffler)

And I've been polishing it a little at a time. Came in a brushed aluminum finish.

Drag bike not so much i tryed to run a 600hp turbo s2k cause he wanted to for shits and giggles and i spun threw 5th gear feathering the gas. That bike will never see a street again unless its to flaunt it.

busa's are far from slow ....Search Halfwit on here he raped many times 08 gsxr1000 with same weight rider both weigh 140 and he raced other liter bikes from cbr1000 zx10 r1 few 07 08 gsxr 1000 .

I don't know what your thinking saying they're slow , but we have results ,facts that they're not slow!

I have owned busa,zx14 and liter bikes just can't hang stock vs stock of course

NOW I have owned and few on here can vouch that I had a 08 gsxr1000 with 179.6hp to the wheels with 86 ftlbs of torque stock suspension NO extension or swing arms . and I raped busa's .

stock vs stock busa has it

Actually on our shop dyno the earlier FI bikes ran VERY rich, and with the exhaust off they are slightly lean, but not bad enough to really do damage. That's mostly pre-04 or so and at my elevation, newer bikes no chance in hell. My R1 was leaner than I felt safe with just slip on's and a gutted cat.

That makes sense. It feels the slightest bit peppier with no muffler, but I figured it was just all in my head because the noise. Hell, it may be. Still not sure if I'd wanna ride too hard with no muffler though, lol

Then you need to calibrate that machine , I have worked and ran plenty on the dyno that shows even with newer bikes with o2 sensors it's still very lean .I am not saying it will blow the motor up in few months but over time it WILL damage that motor it's a fact !

It has NO back pressure which Bikes needs . OH btw what shop is this so I MAKE SURE I don't ask for help !

No point in arguing with someone who knows it all. Not like we haven't been in business for 15 years and are one of the most popular tuning shops in the area. Surely he would know that my elevation is alot higher, and that we tune several bikes on a daily basis.

actually i dont think he was being rude. I think just stating and opinion.

I have HEARD that running no muffler could potentially cause damage. But i have never seen it, nor have i ever tuned a bike, nor have i run my bike with no exhuast. So i will have to yield to other people with more expertise.

He was just stating that the bikes they have tuned havent really seen a condition where it would cause engine damage. he didnt say "youre full of shit and completely wrong".

Ok, here is the truth - back pressure is a requirement on 2 strokes, but not necessarily a requirement on 4 stroke engines.
The belief that back pressure is needed goes back to the old days of carbs. Modified carbed bikes and cars could not adjust because of the way that backpressure caused air to flow backwards through the carburetor after the air already got loaded down with fuel, and the air received a second load of fuel. When backpressure was reduced, the bikes no longer had a double-loading effect, and tended to burn valves because of the result - really lean.
IF you have an adequate engine management system, with proper methods of controlling air and fuel delivery to the engine, you can run without an exhaust at all, and not burn up valves. That is fact.
Now, reality is that the particular bike in question still has exhuast back pressure with the muffler removed, but that back pressure is reduced. This has potential to burnt up exhaust valves if not compensated for through tuning.

Both of you - Tech5 and 03RCode - are both right. There is no guarantee that it will hurt the bike, and at high elevations, it is less of an issue, as the air is already less dense; however, it is not a recommended practice.

I still feel ok with how I do it. Around town, soft riding = no muffler, trips or race track = muffler. If it burns valves I'll chalk it up to foolishness, if it doesn't ever burn a valve I'll sit around and wait for it to happen.

It is true that at lower rpms there is a larger window that the engine can run at safely, and at higher rpms the power output increases, and the window at which the engine can safely operate is much smaller. I would suggest that you still run some sort of muffler on the street though - without a muffler, it will just sound bad, and most experience riders will chalk you up as a squid.
Look for a used Yoshimura on Ebay, they aren't that much.

With the next few days getting cooler to and no exhaust don't take but the wrong blip of the throttle and suck that cooler air back in to cause a issue with the valves . Squids will never learn

I rode around town for about 3000 miles with just a $6.99 pipe from Autozone as an exhaust. The noise level didn't bother me at all.

funny how ppl hate stretched bikes but some ppl dont understand that some ppl ride bike for fun not to see if they are faster than the next person. personally, im 25 and have owned over 10 bikes but the one i have now (08' zx-10 with a 330) has been the funnest to drive bc of the looks i get. lay a bike down 2 or 3 times(which i have, 1x at the track) and going in the mountains just isnt as fun anymore.

You can get all mad that I'm responding and say stupid shit but the bike looks dumb. It's got the paint scheme and look for a real track but you have it chromed/polished out and stretched. It's probably "cool" south of ATL but up here in the mountain area...you know where there are corners, the bike is pretty useless. If the stretch was removed it'd look a whole lot better.

To each their own. If I cared about cornering and mountains, I'd probably live closer than 6 hours from the closest decent mountain ride and have vehicles setup for cornering. I live 30 minutes from 2 drag strips, it's completely flat and straight down here, and I grew up around drag racing. If you're not into drag racing, that's cool, man. I won't try to force my hobbies or my opinion of anyone elses hobby, onto anyone. I understand how stretching a race replica could sound fucking retarded, but I got compliment after compliment for it being different.

Like Bacon said, this bike is sold. I have an '08 GSX-R 600 with 8" extensions now. Loving the new model compared to other bikes I've ridden.

busa's are slows run a 08 gsxr 1000 or zx10r against a 08 busa (fastest year) stretch or swb and see the outcome with good riders

true. Ive owned an 08 busa, and 6+ 07/08 gsxr 1000's. busa only wins 170+ even lower highwya speeds 1000 wins., but not soo much on hte zx10,cbr,r1 for highway.
