Wait until you get to page 2, you will not believe what this guy has done to his 1 year old GSXR.

I pm'd him to find out if he got it running, he replied saying that he had to replace the throttle bodies and the fuel pump. The engine required stripping and piston rings replaced as they were coaed in sugar

Surely that's a wind up.
Right, I'm off to stick some red bull in the blade to pep it up a bit.

Yep, more I reflect, more I see a wind up

I have read this 2 or 3 times, and its hard to call if it is a wind up or further proof of Darwin theory.
Sadly I think he was that stupid..........they are out there!
1 more comment............reading the gixer forum really makes me realise what a close knit , frendly & supportive group the Firestorm site is. Those guys were ripping into him right from the start.
Now that must be an invitation to bombard me with "bugger off, who invited you to reply" posts:lol:

You are absolutely right mate. Whilst awaiting the arrival of my new toy i dipped back into the Gixerjunkies webpage. On the homepage there is a link to this guy who took a 2006 GSXR 600, spent £18500 on it and made it the lap record holder for the Nurburging on 2 wheels. You would have thought that such efforts would draw praise, but no! 10 pages in and there is someone having a go at him over the lack of warranty on all fot he extra he has fitted, juggler!
That is why, 4 years after getting rid of my storm and 3 years after getting rid of my SP1, i still spend most of my 'forum time' on here rather than anywhere else. Hope you enjoy the site mate!

Of course not!!!
Your response was well thought out, grammatically correct and a pleasure to read.
I'm not to sure if I agree with the generalisation about "they are out there!" but I'm not going to bust your balls or call you names just because we have a difference of opinion.

We'll do that behind your back when you're not about :wink2
