Minimum Race Setup for an 04 GSXR 750

What mods do you guys think are the "must-dos" to race prep a stock 04 GSXR 750 -- for a novice racer?

I have a Graves (I think) fairing stay and race bodywork installed already...I rode the bike last Summer at several track days.

Thanks!

Drill and wire per the rulebook, get rid of the antifreeze (shoulda already done that), and you're set.

 

Very minimal...I like that. BTW, I still have antifreeze...they don't make us switch it out for track days around here.

case covers for sure..

then as you go get some rearsets, and clipons.

 

Ah...good call.

You mean after I bust up what I have...

Thanks.

 

yep..

or at least rearsets so you dont drag your stockers and get hung up..

 

Lets go wit the most for a SS machine

 

A friend of mine, who will be a novice this spring, just bought an '05 GSXR 600 and he's puting an additional $6000 into it. This doesn't include any engine work.

ON what

 

He's asking for it..6k in extras what's he doing to it?

 

Good question...

- full exhaust / power commander / custom map
- Ohlins steering damper
- fork revalve (he's a big guy)
- shock spring
- rearsets
- clip-ons
- case covers
- body work
- paint
- fairing stay
- tire warmers
- ?????

It's amazing how it all adds up. He's got the money...so why not? He's also puting money into schools and many track days this spring.

BTW, I just picked up some used Vortex adjustable rearsets for my 750 from the classified section of the board for a good price. Score!

Tell him to shoot some this way

 

He may have the best looking bike out there but can he ride the thing. I would save some of that money for tires and track time.

 

Tell him a chromed out frame and wheels won't make him any faster.

 

Come on, 1 square inch of chrome equals 1 horsepower

 

Where'd you hear that Everyone knows chrome makes you faster becuase the sun reflects on the chrome and heats the air around it so the air has a lower density and you have less wind resistance
