GS Power, andis ther any ? Rode the GS for the first time today, and as  opened the throttle up and waited for something to happen, I found that nothing did, lol.
Now should I begetting a surge of power at a certain rpm /
Or is the GS a bit like ridding the old Honda CB 400 ?

You want the rpm to be set to GSXR 750 for power.
Cool.

No no that was the California models - they had to have the reduce rpm set up due to emissions laws. If you've got a non cali model you need the rpms set to hooligan hyabusa. You should feel a surge from about 3krpm all the way up to 14,000 odd rpm. And be getting wheelies in 1st 2nd and 3rd

Its a 20 year old 4-stroke twin.........what were you expecting?

Sound like somebody installed their powerband backwards. turn your powerband around that should fix the problem, otherwise buy a timing retard eliminator for a gixxer and install that. 

My Cali crapped up 2001 can set me down in the seat pretty good with a little crank of the wrist, so what the pros up there said...

Fit a power commander, you could maybe glue it to the side of the carbs and hope for more power lol.

A photoshoped image of a GS with a power commander duct taped onto the side and the wires poked in through the side of the carbs would really fit here but i don't have the skill lol, id love to see a gs with a power commander on it haha.

just in case this is at all a serious question, I find the power comes on around 5-6k. Below 5k, the motor sounds a bit different too. Must be when the vtec kicks in? 

you were doing 50mph and on 5th gear prolly

Hey ... weren't you on WWF raw
I swear I saw you ... didn't that Chyna female give you a wedgie right with your biker pants
Seriously, its rideable, usually you'd not be run over much, but you'd not be out running anything either unless its one of them accordion busses ... whose bright idea was it to let one of those stupid things run on highways ever been inside it I can use that bouncing to clean some carbs etc ... dry.
Cool.

Dude put in some NGK sparkplugs... they have to be worth at least another 10HP!!!

[...]Rode the GS for the first time today, and as  opened the throttle up and waited for something to happen, I found that nothing did, lol.[...]

and then you woke up and realized it was just a bad dream 

for me 6 seconds to 100kph is really plenty of power (untill I the day I'll be bored of life  )

Hey up again, GS Power! No I don't expect, arm wrenching power, and wheelies in every gear, but I would like, a little more get up and go, than your average mountain bike, lol.
Right this is what I get -:
As I move away in first gear, then shift into second, I hold the gas open, and it seems to bee screaming for another gear, but the road speed is not that great, and as I don't want to blow the motor, I just change up, and so on, what I need to know is, will the power come in and the motor change tone if I just hold the gas open a little longer?
Always had 4 cylinder motors before, and even with an old 400 Kawasaki GPX you got a little power serge at various RPM's, so why not the GS ?

in my exp, 5000rpm is not screaming for another gear. Maybe 8500rpm is. In fact, regardless of the gear I am in or the speed I am travelling, I need to have around 5500rpm in order to have instante response.

maybe you are not telling us that you weight 280 pounds 

Yea 4 valve GPZ kawi's were suprisingly gutsy.
A 4 stroke is all about the head. The GS has a pathetic one. EOM.
Cool.
Srinath.

Lol, I weigh around 200 pounds, thanx dude !, I don't have a standard RPM gauge on the Suzuki, so not sure how many RPM's I have been using, I will take it out again in the morning and wring its neck, (what do they red line at, dude ?)
