something is f%&ked up... replies on other thread do not show up..

Manjul's pictures from the show:


Oil Cooler (sorry its a bit blurred)



Oil Cooler Bolts from under oil filter.



Are these the bolts that make it now 4valves per cylinder?



Updated forks? I think so. looks different, feels firmer.



Throttle Position Sensor or Electric Choke? What is the Bracket on the left.







Misc Pictures:

Is this going to be my next bike?

[TheGoodGuy]

Nope. And I wouldn't use anyplace where the fairing bolts up to, as those are just welded on tabs to the frame and wouldn't be very strong for withstanding any impacts. You may have to drill the frame to attach any existing sliders for other bikes.

Babe Pics ..

Faster Babe (well i dont think so)




Now these are BABES! Well they are atleast more attractive than the ones above.

Could be.  The older generation 4-valve per cyl heads used rocker arms pivoting on shafts which look much like what your picture shows.  Keep dreaming, I guess.

I have one thing to say:  SHAVE!

[JohNLA]

Those are most definitly new fork reflectors. My 02 had rectangular ones with cheap flimsy brackets.

You noticed....

I havent shaved in a good 3 weeks.. maybe 4. Hoping to see how long i can go before it bugs the heck out of me. Though I should shave a prof told me i look "ugly" with a beard.

Oh well i dont care.

Just wanted to share the additonal color scheme we'll have in Canada, we'll not additional as we won't have the yellow.

i like how suzuki took it back and stuck the old school katana  "s" on the tank. looks real slick like that. i also would rather have it in black myself

Then again, those bolts are located where I believe they line bore the cam bearing oil galleys.  Plus, positioning appears a bit too low for rocker arm shafts.  False alarm, I guess.

You shoulda took the picture from behind (faster babe) to get the best angle.
As for the other two, get rid of the passenger.

Bob has the right idea there.

I noticed that the exhaust tip on the can is larger in diameter than my 93, not the outside circle that doesnt matter, but the inside one looks like its quite a bit bigger, or maybe the outside one is smaller , but I still think the inside one is bigger, could this mean more exhaust flow, since it may have 4 valves per cylinder, I dont know just a thought.

your right it does look bigger than stock we are used to. I will check my photo's of the rear to see what comes of it.
