Steve and I and n1elkyfan were talking about it the other day when they were over and only the 750 and either the 1100 or the 1000 (He couldnt remember which. Tho i suspect we could find out in the GS history on the front page...lol) switched to the TCSS design...all others remained 8v roller bearing -
Couldn't fathom a clue which one it is. If you ask me I think I'd prefer my 550 over everything else. Well maybe a 650. 750's lose the roller bearings and 850's have a five speed trans. Everything else is a liter bike. And I have no intention of getting oneOriginally posted by TheCafeKid View PostComment

Ya I know... sorry but it has VM carbs. And they sound like a B!TCH to tune. And by the time the switched over to CV they were probalby already non-roller bearingComment

Actually i think id rather tune VMs than CVs....i dont have to drill slides and crap for my jet kits :PComment

you wanna go for pinks??? LMAOComment

Lol hell no i had to wait for like 3 weeks to get my pink from the state of texas. I'd be careful if I were you though. My money pit's got a monster 49 tooth rear sprocket on it lmaoOriginally posted by TheCafeKid View PostComment

Wait you said its a FIVE speed? WTF gives? Why do 550's and 650's get six speed gear boxes then?Comment
-
I also dont have a stock 49 tooth sprocket...stock on mine was 41...That would be a good question to ask the gearheads over in the tech forum?Comment

I gotta hit the rack man...i am gonna actually get up EARLY and work on the bike tomorrow....and my jets and intake rings will be here sometime tomorrow too...WOOOHOOOComment

Oh did you mail that gauge set out today?? just curious...i took a better look at those crash bars.. you might be able to actually get them to look pretty good, but not if you leave em chrome...you wanted those the superbike bars and a set of headlight ears right??Comment

Sorry buddy I got caught up with things at college again. Damn teachers and wanting so much homework. Tomorrow is my "easy" day so for sure I'll have it at the post by morning. And yes I want them both. Superbars especially. Although I took a look at the headlight I got now and it looks like it doesn't have a way to mount with headlight ears. Its an aftermarket HELLA headlight. Any leads where I can pick up a full headlight assembly? One that's cheap but tasteful?Originally posted by TheCafeKid View PostComment

Torque curve maybe. But to keep the RPMs down I don't think so. Smaller displacement motors don't make torque OR power down low. Usually they're geared high with a 5 speed box so that when travellling at high speeds the engine is turning at a nice mid-RPM to make enough power to keep it moving. It surprised me that this bike came with a 6 speed trans. The PO told me it had a 5 speed LMAO. He apparently never took it fast enough to get that 6th gear. Plus I'd figure that the 6th gear ratio drop would be a bit to much for this bike but OH WELL. Suzuki did it for a reasonOriginally posted by TheCafeKid View PostComment
