Derestricted

Im thinking of deresticting the beast. Cost around $400. Im goin to get more power and smother response on , off throttle, but would like to know does this kill motors? Bad Fuel economy? Do i need to change filters...etc.
Any advice would be great. Has anybody done this b4?

Its a Suzuki GSX-R 1000 2003.

If you are talking about a TRE doesn't it just give you the same ignition curve as 5th for all 6 cogs? I would have thought it would give you better economy as you'll get a more efficient burn. As long as you can control your wrist

i think 5th has a leaner fuel map also so lower gears will now run slightly hotter around town but crisper response also.
use engine ice coolant if it is a problem and maybe wire switch to use thermo fan at stop/slow speeds.

its worth having a look at the osb site (OzSportsBikes) - there are a number of gixxer pilots who have all done this, they will give you all the info you need mate.

Thanks guys...
will check out osb.

umm if ur gix1000 dont have enuf power u could always get a zx10r....

you could try http://www.gixxer.com too, waaaaaaaay too many gixxer pilots on there for some reason i still can't fathom
