Buddy!! You dropped a HUGE good news Bomb here💣 Congrats to you and Mrs. Chops on the sale of your current place, that’s fantastic! The new Double Garage Workshop is well deserved!! Mavis and your Stable of beauties deserve the new spacious man cave👍🏻 Gixxer looks phenomenal! The new list of small projects should get you sorted. Next stop, 100k subscribers!!!
Thanks Michael very excited about it!! So many plans 😁😁
@@LambChopRides Hi mate. awesome channel! I have a 8K maximum budget. and after a gsxr. For that price which is the fastest gsxr?
You deserve 1 million subs mate
Great laugh,great vids and always blinding reviews.
All the best to ya Mr chops 👍
Brilliant content 👌
Thanks Michael 👍 👍
That age gixxer would get a shudder from build up on the rotor. Give them a quick sand and see how it feels.
Great update, great bike. Congrats on the move, I did it last year and once you get a double garage you never look back😃👍🏼 Cheers!
Congrats on hitting 90k subs Chopsy!!! 100k is just around the corner!!
Thanks buddy 👍👍😎
The stock MC is the source of the lack of brake feel, an RCS19 does improve it significantly, getting aftermarket callipers helps a lot too, I've put Hel Callipers and Mc and honestly the bike finally feels modern in the brakes department.
Yes, do move, and garage upgrade videos… we are all the same.. nice big garage with a ‘house of some description attached’ is how we view our homes 😂
Great vid! Congrats on the move mate! Big sheds and double garages... the stuff of dreams!
Looking forward to the upcoming videos Chops , congratulations on the new place , well done .
Great fun video, the taming of Susi . Congratulations to you both . Looking forward to the mega garage build and studio,fingers crossed all goes to plan 👍.
Always look forward to your vids. You always seem to be bubbling over with enthusiasm. Very addictive my man.
I love that bike.
These older bikes are the way to go.
Great vid Chops.
Great vid. Fingers crossed for the new gaff! Also can't wait to see how the GSXR evolves. Looks like braided lines, discs & pads are probably in order. I'm guessing you'll probably end up chucking a new rear shock on it too which is probably essential for the track. Link pipe & mapping should be a quick win & the wheels are interesting one. Dymag's would be awesome but pricey so hopefully current Gixxer thou wheels fit as you say. Could also get a lithium battery to save a few kg's too, especially if the battery's old. So many geeat options Chops, very exciting!
Congrats on the move mate! Always enjoy your content!
I have had a K7 since Jan, same arrow exhaust, no cat, K&N filter. Can't wait for more content on this bike. Almost done 2.5k miles on mine, I went to look for a 636 and came back with this flipping monster... loving it
Snap!! Great bikes arnt they :- )
Another great video chops, Not long till you hit 100,000 subs. You are one of the best.
Brembo RCS, braided lines, new pads, HM Quickshifter, decent budget rearsets (Valtermoto are good value), suspension setup and maybe some 2nd hand monobloc calipers....perfect track day tool on a budget. Except the same on a K5 of course! 😉
G'day Mr Chops. Love the GSXR and the impending mods, it's going to be exciting This was a very good video mate, lots
of interesting information and kept me wishing for more. Looking forward to the next one, eagerly. Good luck with
the house, everyone should have a double garage.
Awesome video again chops.......I hope that your house move goes through so you'll get your double garage. Love that GSXR and the plans you've got for it. I remember what you did to your previous GSXR and that bike was stunning as well and the sound of that engine when you went through the box with that quick shifter was amazing.
Great work buddy......looking forward to your future content. 👍😊
Thanks Dean
These are a wonderful bike, my advice for the brakes is a 19mm brembo master cylinder and braided lines help but not much. Also clean the slave cylinders and disc bobbins before splashing the cash. Also a sprocket change -1 and 2 up on the rear. Bazzazz used to do a cpu upgrade that would control all the injectors which you only get from a power commander if you buy the second injector
controller. You’ve got a great bike.
All good stuff, Chopsy! After you get her sorted, a Gixxer comparo with Greg's is a no brainer. Our fingers are crossed for the DOUBLE BUBBLE GARAGE!!!! 🤞🤞 Much love as always from Northern California.
❤❤
Always great content Chops, one of the best out there. Good luck with the push to 100k subs
Thanks for making my morning Chopsy 👍🙂
Welcome Nick 👍
Nice one - bike is a real looker I reckon :) Good luck with your move too !!
Thanks Dave 👍
That is one tasty bike bud, absolutely beautiful. I just got new rubber for the start of this season as well, Road 5's for the wee girl and Road 6's for the big lass. And as my big lass is a bit of a retro homage, I have decided that I am going to permanent white letter the Michelin and logo's on hers, just for something that wee bit special. I think that idea might also look great on your machine too, should really pop with that livery. Anyhoo, it's obvious that you are really enjoying the raw no nonsense man:machine experience, roll on spring and summer I say!
Great vid, love the older stuff. If your valves are tappety then they tend to be OK, it's when they aren't tappety that they need adjusting.
Agreed they tend to tighten up, especially the exhaust valves.
Yes good point!
Good one, Keep on rocking! 🤘
I think if I was to have one last sportsbike as I'm in my late 50's, it would be a ten year old Gsxr 1000.
Congratulations on house sale and hope move goes well, double garage heaven. Cheers Choppsy
Nice one…always enjoy your vids! Good luck with the move fingers crossed 🤞
Great video liked the story about the new house and double garage, my wife’s giving me sideward glances as she always says if I had my way we’ll end up in a tiny house with a huge garage, she knows me too well👍
If you haven’t fitted tires yet, the 190/55 will sort out the handling issue. My K6 loves it.
yes it much better at direction changes now
Lovely bike, super clean too 👍🏻
Congratulations on new house chops love the GSXR More room means more bikes 😂👍
They're Amazing bikes.....I'm 52 years old and I just finished rebuilding my K2 Gsxr750.....It brings a lot of memories.
huge congrats on the new house. definitely do a garage build service on here we all love a man cave. cracking video as always chops
Double garage, a bed and a oven. Perfect mans cave :) 👍 congratulations 🎊
Great stuff Chops, congrats on the move and the Sub numbers. 🍻👍
Awesome thank you!
First thing to do is check both rotor runout and thickness. Check the runout with a clamp on dial indicator. Check the thickness all the way around with good calipers. The rotor should have no differences in thickness the whole way around. Runout should be within spec, usually 0.002". Congrats
I bought my 2008 fireblade in June 2008. Still got it now and never felt the need to upgrade. Handles beautifully and the brakes are more than I'll ever need.
I don’t know why but when you wear those baggy hoodies with what I’m presuming is an armoured vest underneath bulging out, you put me in mind of Herman Munster. 😂
Loving this journey with going back old school.
Maybe consider the taller MRA screen with the 2 vents on it. Had one on my k8 thou couple of years ago. Also BMC air filter is a much better option imo. Tried various brands over the years.
You'll get there with a bit of time and money but like you said it's what it's about. Not just riding but tinkering and improving.
Look forward to seeing the progress 👍
love the idea of the garage series!!!!!
Hello :), I’ve got the same bike, have had it many years and know it inside out, In my experience, pc5 with the k&n done was the biggest power gain, i had it dynoed after and it runs a million times nicer, I also rebuilt the callipers new seals and braided lines with sbs pads and ebc discs that fixed my brakes, all semi cheap bits not to expensive, mines in daily use with over 30k and it’s never let me down
Hard to believe I've been subscribed to your channel since the TT Legends Fireblade build, how time flies! Good luck on the double garage purchase, you deserve it.
Thanks Mark appreciate your support over the years 👍 🙏
can't wait for that garage build series!
I have a jackup kit that raised the rear of my SV thou by about an inch and a quarter. Maxton resprung a standard shock for my weight and the turn in is excellent. Like yourself, not wishing to spend silly money, I have braided lines front and rear, including the clutch line, with EBC front discs and HH pads. It's pretty decent.
Great video, chops. Really interesting. I’ve just picked up a zzr600 with 7k miles from new on it, luckily it’s only suffering from being stuck in a garage for 14 years, and being used as a shelf by the look of it… tyres was a very smart move, brake hoses definitely would be a good call, try bendix pads as well. Used them on many many bikes and they’re bloody brilliant (if not a bit noisy on the road if you go for a high sinter) the shock looks like you’ve hardly any pre-load in it, so would well wise to get it set up for you first and see if it’s good enough or worth replacing out. Fork oil worth changing, too. You’ll enjoy this one, I can tell. Keep ‘em comin and see you around the local roads I hope. 👍👍👍
Good video Lamb Chop. Hope everything goes well with the New house and it will be great to see you give the garage a make over.
Thanks Lyn!! :-)
Excellent stuff 🏍🏍🏍
All the best with the house champ👍
Spring has sprung and a young man,s fancy turns to GIXXER nice one sir.
Great bike. I bought one brand new back in the day. Mental power.
Now I am interested, keep it coming😎🇨🇦
Top man chop’s great to see you out GSXR or any bike to be honest. Never a dull moment buddy and you are great fun too. I’ll be looking out for you at Cadwell so keep us posted when you are going. It’s my local track (20 miles up the road) and I’m there for all the track days. Take care buddy
There on the 12th and 13th of May 👍
Congrats with your new place Chops! I recognize many of the adjustments you want to make to the Suzuki. The Japanese motorcycles of that time had a bit of the same thing. I have a ZX-10R from 2006, first owner and a low mileage. Over the years, replace all the points that you want to replace. Including Brembo calipers and a Brembo brake pump, Spiegler brake lines, Ohlins suspension, Valtermoto brake shift kit and PCV. Because of all the adjustments decided to keep her next to the other Kawa's and it's no longer interesting to sell her.
Biggest fan Powamoto is in the house. Awesome vid Mate 👊
Good luck with the 100k! Love your videos bud 👍🏻👌🏻 I'll make sure to like every video to get the algorithm going 😁
Thanks Greg 😁👍
Good luck in your new home/garage/studio.
Won't be long before you hit the 100K :-)
Always really top reviews........
Fingers crossed buddy, garage fit out series sounds great. Exciting year for you - and us vicariously!!
Thanks Gary 👍
Double garage happy days Chops👍🏻
Bike looks great. Hope the house move works out. 👍
How sweet does that engine sound! beautifully smooth. love it.
If you accept that you're not looking to replicate the brakes of a recent S1000RR etc, and you want to keep to a reasonable budget, I would be inclined to stick to a set of EBC HH pads, disks and braided lines. That should give you great bite, power and will work well for road and occasional track days.
How many times have you heard someone say - oh stick on a master cylinder from this, the callipers from that, forks from the other, some specialist compound brake pads, sprinkle on some old racer know-how, and hey presto - you're left a grand out of pocket with a devalued bike that only stops in very specific conditions/not at all..
100k plaque is surely on it's way very soon 👍..for your new garage with convenience of having a house attached 😀
Love your content - keep it coming!
I have had 2 gsxr's now, Changed the master for a Brembo or (others are available), lines, pads, get rid of the cat, power commander, air filter and a setup. Job done......... Quickshifter if you wanna be fancy......
A Double Double Garage!!! Whoo Hoo!! Can't wait. You deserve over a million subscribers Chopsy! But let's manifest that 100 first. It is done!
Thanks buddy!
Bike looks awesome I love the older Gsxr’s . Oh a double garage I’d love a double garage you lucky sod you 🤪🏍🎉👍
Good luck with the move and that double garage 🤤👍🏻
Thanks 👍
Double Bubble Garage! Awesome mate. Get a compressor & a TIG Welder.
I met Nicky Hayden and his Dad once at a Moto Gp in Italy, they talked to me for ages like I was an old friend, he was such a nice guy , I've got a photo of the meeting framed on my wall, it was the year he became Moto Gp champion, just thought I'd share that anecdote with everyone if that's ok Chops.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🇬🇧
Just purchased a k7 gsxr1000 and this was exactly what I was looking for. Great review and I hope you hit that 100k soon. Gained a sub 👊🏻
Thanks Ashley 👍 👊
Afternoon Chopsy, great news on the house front, regarding the brakes, hel lines, hel mastercylinder and r1 gold spots and the brakes will be absolutely awesome, once you remove that cat you'll definitely notice a difference, I certainly have, the k7 thou is still an absolute weapon with the right mods and rider, absolutely love mine, had it for 5 years plus, and it won't be going anywhere soon,.if at all 😂
Thanks Tim you'res sounds awesome!
Good vid chops. I know the roads your riding pretty well from my time living in Fareham ,many moons ago I used to take the back rd to Winchester pretty often on my then new exup. Good luck with the house move. I may even make a video when I pick up my pikes peak in July.🤞. I shall check out your vid on camera set up etc. take care out there chops. 👍🇬🇧🏴
Lucky bugger Craig find myself hankering after the new Pikes Peak! 👍
Good luck with the house move!
I hope the offer is accepted, sounds like the perfect place for Chopsie's builds 😁 Just a few small changes with the Gixxer and it will be an amazing street and track bike.
Great things to come for this bike.One suggestion get a Sprint filter instead of the K&N.Highest flowing filter on the market.👍🍻
Thanks for the tip!
hey there , I love your work , also own a gsxr 1000rr , mine is supposed to be a special edition , it is black and gold , I am a aussie fan , born in england, ran away from home when i was 3 , thank you for showing me my country roads , big fan
If you have judder the only cure is new pads and disc’s. Brake lines will help with feel but new discs required for the judder. Make sure the mating surfaces are flat. And clean before torquing up the fixings. Bed in gently
Stick some SBS RS pads in there and some HEL braided hoses. That buzzing could be pad deposits on the discs from being stood. You can check the runout of the discs using a DTI.
Great video Chopsy. I can recommend the EBC Extreme pro pads (EPFA379HH), combined with braided lines they’ve made a massive difference to my K6
Nice video! I had a k7 1000 it was ace. Personally I wouldn’t bother with a power commander… they are expensive a pain to fit and can only overcome fuel and timing. I would go with a remap from moores racing or someone similar. After a full remap you will have full power in all gears, no top speed limiter and it will be cheaper than a power commander. I had a power commander on my k7 and it didn’t make much difference, slightly smoother but that was it. Also a remap video would ace too! Keep up the excellent work chopsy.
I bought the Gen3 Superduke having watched the review you posted and love it to bits very different to my s1000rr, looking forward to the Cadwell video only 20 minutes away for me.
Hi John, another great video. The forks would probably benefit from a service, this could be added to your list of diy jobs. I wouldn't be surprised if they stlll have the original oil which will be way past it's best by now, it would make an interesting vid too. ☺
Yes certainly need to get them serviced, yes I bet they do have the orginal oil
Great vid chopsy, youve got to do the garage build vlog sounds brill, hopefully mavis will help you 😄
On the brake front it's the master cylinder change it for a Brembo 19mm and some EBC HH pads.
Oooh double garage, beats my wee shed!
the brembo front lever and master cylinder upgrade is great for these bikes, made a massive difference to mine. love the videos dude
Would this fit a Tl1000r as my brakes are terrible Haha.
@@stichupman you can fit a radial MC from a 2005 onward gsxr1000, you'll need a HEL mc convertor (which allows you to keep your current braided lines, if you have them) and some 4 pot calipers from a GSXR600 SRAD or some Nissens from a Honda, should make the world of difference.
@@gixxer750rich cheers mate. Certainly something I'm looking into.
19:00 It's funny you talk of these safety nets. I've never owned a bike new enough to have them. Would love a steering damper on my VTR though
This bike is all you need in Britain. More than enough power in a well built reliable package! No need to touch it unless it's a content video maker for you.
P/s valve adjustment, it's the quiet one's you've got to worry about.
Great vid Chops.. maybe pick up some second hand Brembo M50s for the front with braided hoses :) just a thought.. congrats on the new garage.. I mean house and garage :)
I feel a build series coming on!!!
It’s worth checking that all the floating Buttons on the disc rotors are free and not seized. A light tap with a hammer using a couple of sockets either side as drifts and a little brake cleaner will free them up. I fixed a light shudder this way on my Ktm 950SM
Yes already checked all those is the previous video 👍
👍👍👌👌 nice one chops
Brill to see the Gixer out on the road Chopsy. I'm itching to get mine out once it warms up a bit :D
Good luck with the move John, am well jelly you might be getting a double garage!
Thanks Peter! We will have to get out together on the Gixers 😎😎
@@LambChopRides aye, I'll have to remember my speedo tape! 🤣
Regarding the brake juddering issue, we see you clean the brake disc bobbins with the nut and bolt trick and brake cleaner, but you only rotated them by hand. Perhaps be more aggressive with them and spin them clockwise and counter-clockwise using a pistol drill and with the use of brake cleaner. It may improve the issue greater. Worth a try before you replace the discs 👍
Budget track build here we go!!
Well if you need a plasterer for your new garage I’m only round the corner 🤣 I used to live at number one 👍🏻. Congrats on the sale and new adventures to come
Haha well yes 😁😁😁
Power commander, kn filter, velocity stacks, cat remover, tre. A lot to improve. Mine has 200 hp on the crank.
Thumbs up for a garage build series.
nice, Subscribed !
Thanks :-)
Good luck with the house / garage move and getting closer to 100K subs.
I had a K3 and a K9 (yes the one with the whale dick exhausts) Gixxer 1000s.
Thanks for taking us along.
Thanks Iain 👍
Fingers crossed your house move goes through to the new Double Chops size man cave! This bike deserves the upgrades you’ll inevitably give it..can’t beat the twist grip excitement on those roads mate..good for the soul! Atb
Thanks Alan 👍
