Hey!

I am parting out a MINT 01 gixer @ work. What can I take from it and put on the gs?

NiceGuysFinishLast · March 13, 2007, 02:38:31 PM

shock, front end

scottpA_GS · March 13, 2007, 06:37:00 PM

ok.. the rear shock I thought was cool.. I saw a post of someones who needed to use the rear linkage as well w/ that. Right???

Is the front end a direct fit? anymods to it? can I use the gixer forks/clipons and GS spedo ad tac? What about using the whole front wheel w/ brakes too? maybee even the speedo and tac? can I use that?

Any ideas on the sub frame? can I use the rear of this gixer on the GS w/ little modification? I love the split seat look...

anyone who wants parts from this bike PM me.. I will be parting out the whole thing engine, plastics, frame and all.....

Is it a stock muffler or after market? Would It sound decent on a gs? I might be interested in it, I would like to put my name on it if I CAN. (get it.. lol)

scottpA_GS · March 14, 2007, 06:09:57 AM

....

I use GSXR linkages since the springs are larger in diameter. It provides clearance at the swingarm.

Not completely sure about the 01 gix6 stem but it is probably a little longer. Swapping stems may be possible but from my experience, aluminum stems have been slightly smaller in diameter then steel by about .25-.5mm. Swapping bearings will be required. Turning the stem to fit is always an option. Just do some rough measurements of the head length to see what you are getting into.

Along with the forks and triples...you will need the wheel, rotors, calipers, master cylinder, fender, clip-ons....and some kind mounts for the headlight.

Steering stops will need to be moddified.

The Gix wheel does not a place for the GS mechanical speed pick-up, they use a magnetic sensor at the front sprocket.

You can use the Gix gauges if you want to figure out where and how to get a speed signal to it. The tach and rest of the lights are easy to connect.

Not a problem.

Hey! Thanks DG

The front end sounds like too much work for me but the rear sounds fairly simple... Do you think its a worth wile upgrade? Will I be able to get much more height out of it? how much? I have always wanted to get the rear end up a few inches

Thanks again DG!

the can is factory.. it is in A1 condition... this bike has 8 miles on it

I dont know what it would sound like on the GS... but PM me an offer on it if you like

I also have some TL1000 cans and a few other factory ones as well if you are interested

The forks may be envolved but it is well worth it.

The shock is a little under 13", close to 12-7/8"...tough to measure on the bike. Either way it is less than the SV. I have a '02 gix6 on my 97 but I made a new upper mount to utilize the ride height adjustability.

8 miles and parting? WTF happened?

I work at a suzuki dealer.. this bike was bought new back in 92 and when they tried to register it Suzuki said that the VIN did not exist.. We have the MSO but they still say its not a Suzuki

its a strange situation but the bike is legit.. never left this dealership. But it cant be registered and it looks as if parting it out will bring almost $5,000 where selling it we might not get that much... soo

I get to strip down a perfectly good bike and get paid for it

I also get commission on the parts so I cant wait

Here is a pic before I start rippin...

dgyver · March 15, 2007, 08:07:30 AM

PM me a price for the front wheel.....please be kind.

scottpA_GS · March 15, 2007, 08:45:33 AM

No problem... *sent*

I cant be too easy on the prices as my boss wants top dollar for everything we sell

and I happen to like my new job
