wats up fellas. I was wondering if anybody owns a gsxr. One of the homies is having a problem with his brand new 09. theres a vibrating sound around 6500 rpmin all gears and I was alos wondering why the bike is able to down shift while the throttle is close. any info would help....thanks

 

Dont know about the shifting, but i would just take it back to the dealer, thats what warranties are for.

 

Problem = it's a gixxer


Solution = sell that piece of crap!

 

Nothing wrong with GSXR*s

 

Quick question. Does the '09 gixer have a slipper clutch?

 

The 1k does for sure, not positive about the 600 or 750

 

Please enlighten me what is a slipper clutch?

 

A slipper clutch(also known as a back-torque limiter) is a specialized clutch developed for performance oriented motorcycles to mitigate the effects of engine braking when riders decelerate as they enter corners. They are designed to partially disengage or "slip" when the rear wheel tries to drive the engine faster than it would run under its own power.

Slipper clutches can also prevent a catastrophic rear wheel lockup in case of engine seizure or transmission failure. Generally, the amount of force needed to disengage the clutch is adjustable to suit the application.


Sorry too lazy to type it myself

 

I coulda used a slipper clutch this summer. Came into a corner a little hot coming off of Teton pass and almost highsided. Coulda been real ugly.
