What a fun project and an amazing video. Very informative and good fun. I couldn't stop laughing. I love your choice of bike, gsxr 750cc which are iconic and an all rounder. Welcome to the Gixxer 750cc club as i have a k1 gsxr 750cc and love it to bits although i must admit i bought a pig but now runs like a thoroughbred :) I shall be watching very closely. Goodluck
I suggest looking into salvage auctions if they're available where you're at. I just bought a 2022 ZX6R with 250 miles on it for only 32% of the new price. What was wrong with it? It had a dented fuel tank, bent subframe and some broken plastics. A replacement tank and subframe cost $800, broken plastics don't matter as I'm using track fairings. I sold the new street tires and a few other parts I won't use. It left me with plenty to spend like your goal here. I'll be interested to see what choices you make and why for suspension, brakes, quick shifter?
Brake pads, stainless lines, suspension setup for rider, tires, if you still have a budget then I would get track fairings (remove all the street stuff). As long as it stops and has good suspension, it’s a perfect track bike. Also a big sticker of a cute puppy wouldn’t hurt.
Rcs19 or similar ,the full track package,fairings ,suspension,brakes,kr slicks,exhaust,520 race transmission,rearsets,short throttle and a ecu flash.What a great video!!!Bravo
Great choice of bike. I think these bikes are great, just stripped back on their own. So the first thing that would make huge difference is Trackday rubber. But after the end of your video. It needs the oil leak fixing 😂😮
This is going to be a good watch! ❤ Used to track my road K8 750. Got fed up with switching the fairings all the time. Build me a K8 600 track bike a few years back and still love it. - Fairing - Rear set - Brakes (used brembo calipers are not that expensive) - Chain and sprockets - Suspension (piston kit and shock) - Exhaust - powercommander+quickshifter? (original ECU can be tuned but pretty rudimental) - lose some weight (you can chop half the rear frame) Do this and I know you will be really quick 👌🏻👍🏻
I reckon Sticky tyres, Full Exhaust system and tune, Get suspension setup for the rider, rear sets, race discs and pads on the front at least. Maybe a rear shock if budget allows.
Top choices that Taylor 👍🏻👍🏻 erm, basics first, a good once over nut and bolt check, service with quality filters, plugs and oil, fresh brake fluid, decent brake pads, some quality rubber ( I've got a thing for continental race attack, really rate them) and then set up ergonomics where poss (levers, clip ons etc ..) and finally get the suspension set up/overhauled if needed. That way you can decide after, where to start spending as you find it's shortfalls. Ace to see you back mate 🙂🏍️👍🏻
Trip to Maxton first, some crash protection, braided hoses, sintered pads, rear sets, clip ons, maybe some spares, new oils, probably K&N, power commander and new silencer for a bit of weight saving, finally a bit of body work, probably not a lot left of the 4.5K 😢oh nearly forgot new booties! You could sell some of the road kit to boost your budget, say another grand!
With the budget I’d go for…RCS19 master with hel lines and Yamaha R6 Calipers / Pipewerx full system high level can / 520 chain and sprocket / Renthal clip ons / CRC fairings / Ktech rear shock - Front springs and adjusters / Gilles rear sets / k&n air filter / ECU Flash / HM quick shifter lite
Suspension resprung for your weight and serviced, possibly valve kit or cartridge if budget allowes Caliper service and decent pads New master cylinder Braided lines Full service Ecu flashed on dyno Quickshifter That's enough just enjoy the bike
great bike (I've raced a 04 and 07 gsxr600, a 08 gsxr750 and a 08 gsx1000). I'd do steel braided brake lines, race compound brake pads, track tires, suspension, rear sets/clip ons, gearing/520 chain, exhaust and tune, race fairings and a windscreen. pretty much any sport bike is more then capable on track, any mods are to make the bike fit you better and you riding style.
Rear shock Front springs and valve kit.. cheaper than cartridges and ur on budget.. good set front pads sbs and brake line Strip it Race bodywork Exhaust and flash Slicks!!
As a complete novice I’d go: Tyres Suspension setup/rebuild Bushing and bearings Disk and pads Service and chain See what’s left after that for maybe a air filter and a 2nd hand exhaust of something ? Maybe I’m dreaming about that much for a couple grand not to sure ??
Must see top Taylor tip @ 3:48 - loved it. Looking forward to how this mini series rolls out. First and easy change for me are the tyres, then suspension, brakes. Obviously lights, indicators, reg plate removal goes without saying.
Get some track day CRC fairings, forks and rear shock out and off to Colin at 100% for some TLC. Junk the cat and put an air filter, exhaust/power commander and marry this up to a quick shifter. Don’t forget some crash protection and brake guard. Put on some decent track rubber and go have fun. Then book your overseas TD. 3 days in Spain, Portugal or wider a field like Brno cannot be bettered.
Ktec suspension, brembo master cylinder/hel hoses , SBS race pads as some road ones overheat on track. Tyres, CRC race fairings and a titanium exhaust race system. If you can get some BST carbon wheels (second hand) would be nice. Hit up James Whitam as he seems to have contacts for Suzuki stuff👍
I love the GSXR750, I agree all around to where the 1000 wont leave you and still have the chassis to keep up with the 600's. They do lack electronics, but thats what makes them great track bikes. Slicks, brake pads, race fairings and youre ready to rock
This is exactly what I did. Though mine is an 08 GSXR 600. I uploaded a few videos on here when I first built it. After going through this exact same thing, doing a season of track days and then a season of racing on it last year I would prioritize: The basics (Track fairing, electronics removal, case covers, sticky tires etc.) New master cylinder, pads and braided lines (I found on the hard way about this gens MC and have an RCS going on for this season) Rear shock refresh/Aftermarket unit depending on budget Fork internals/Dropping the forks as low in the clamps as possible Full exhaust and remap Hopefully it treats you well! (though after seeing the preview for the next episode that may not be the case...)
I've got a CBR400RR from '89 that would probably be a good candidate for becoming a track bike. It's not got any original fairings, but the engine is great. With a set of Tyga fairings on it, it would look the part, too.
I think that's a great bike for learning to ride on track. My first track was ridden on a FZR400. I'm interested in the new ZXR400RR that's apparently coming to the UK, even though I've got a 'Blade and a 748. The ZXR is probably going to be a killer bike with just a few mods.
Service the thing - engines oil, fork and shock service, braking fluid, coolant, clutch wire, throttle wire. Slicks, braided brake lines - bare minimum to ride. Add Brake pads, rearsets and clipons, swingarm spools - to get a Gentlemen's package. You are now comfortable to ride and have enourmous potential laptime wise, brake pads and tires are the 80% of your success. Add chain (don't go for the pricy 520 kit conv kit, if 525 is way cheaper, it really is barely a noticeable difference) + sprockets kit (at least -1 +2, but also depends on where and how you ride) to get an easy, but noticeable change in dynamics. If you have extra money (and want to keep it that way in case of crashing) - fairings. Additional steps would be to get engine case covers, maybe frame covers, but they mostly protect from scratches, if you get a strong enough impact they will do basically nothing. Next you will get to the point where it is actually uncomfortable to twist the throttle, because you are now the boss and hitting those straights like a pro, this is the time to get a quick action throttle. If you want some bling-bling then Brembo master cylinder - a little easier to brake hard, a lot easier to lock up your wheel if you grab the brakes too suddenly without loading the tire. Now is the time when you can actually care about getting faster - AIM Solo or other kind of independent lap timer with telemetry to analyze. If you have much more extra money then a Woolich Racing (or FT-ECU) flash with a Leovince Muffler (or Scorpion or whatever is cheap enough and not Chinese, Akropovic is just a waste of money, as well as the weight savings of going Titanium instead of Stainless) + De-cat pipe. You probably won't notice much of a performance difference but the flashed maps usually just run better, especially at lower speeds like when you are is a slow 180 corner and getting on the throttle in 1st gear, stock mapping might be bogging on you, aftermarket evens that out 9/10 times When you get more serious and start to swap out the tires regularly - captive wheel spacers, chain adjuster and rear brake mount that doesn't fall the hell out when you install the rear wheel. Slap an Up/Down shifter with your flash (Woolich or FT-ECU whatever you got), they are a nice luxury that frees your mind a bit. I wouldn't bother with changing the shock or fork pistons on this bike. Too much money for almost no gain if you aren't a high level rider, instead adjust what you have for your own weight, maybe change springs, K-Tech has you covered for most of the stock suspension parts out there. If you are now the top dog on your local trackdays, time to swap out those brake calipers for sweet Brembos to get an extra edge in those braking zones. Cheers from Ukraine. Your dealerships look like a dream, I wish we had such a big place with a nice stock of used bikes to choose from :D Also would love to visit Silverstone someday.
Cracking stuff. You're back to your best, Taylor (this beats watching you fall off trials bikes 😂). I'll be interested to see how this pans out. Over the winter I was going to convert my zx6 for the track but bottled it and bought a race-ready r6 instead. Hope you know where to start, because I certainly didn't! Have fun.
Great donor bike ! Track fairings, sort suspension, new front brake master cylinder, pads & fluid, race exhaust & tune, track tyres & done for about £3K ! 👍
Had one 2009 exact model. Short Yoshi pipe and remove the butterfly in the pipe.. It struggles to get over 290 in 6th so change the sprockets . Drop two at the back and one up in front to run 295 in 5th. My little bit.
Brakes I did an accassato martin Cardenas used at the Daytona 200 on my gsxr 600 pads and Goodyear braided line but if I had to do it all over again I'd do the heads and try carbon wheels just to see if there is a difference
The brakes need to be change for sure use calipers+ master cylinder r6 or R1 05-09 Front suspension msxron internals, nitro rear shock, take cat lextek exhaust, bmc air filter remap, you should have still money for a tank 😅 Enjoy the bike
Great to have you back Taylor 👍 Fantastic bike, rework forks, quality shock, update the brakes, jettison the cat/fit exhaust (fuelling might need tweaking).....put it on a diet and frazzle some tyres 😎 Love this series !
Hey, Im not a fan of this bike, the Yam R6 is far better on every count, but with £5k to throw at it and the most important box ticks being, shedding weight by removing all that road furniture, suspension setting up with fork internals (K-tech or RaceLabs etc) adjustable rearsets, Renthal/Harris clip-ons, braided hoses and track pads (if not already fitted) chain/sprockets and some good trackday tyres, full titanium exhaust system and with the change out of the £5k, a couple of cups of hot coffee and a packet of biscuits for the trackside garages. There'll be a lot of folk here that'll benefit from watching this build.
Fantastic bike for this project. I've had a couple of 750s ('05 and '12). An almost perfect sport bike. Race fairings 1-2 up in rear w/ a 520 conversion. May want to go 1 down up front too... cat delete exhaust. I cut the cat off (2012 model), found a mid-pipe, and added a slip-on race air filter Power Commander was always sufficient in my experience; both model years new brake pads. Calipers and master cylinder were adequate. If not up to par, maybe a new master cylinder first; cheaper Steel braided brake lines (front for sure) new forks or fork internals; new shock clip-ons are always a nice add for the track rearsets for adjustability corsa style windscreen to get behind Lithium ion battery remove any extra weight possible, e.g. exhaust servo motor, emissions crap, etc. slicks w/ 190 rear If it's in the budget, new wheels :) Have fun with your build!
If you have the cash, get the suspension sorted first. I'd get the handling fixed so you can deal with power increases. Then an exhaust, then engine mods, looks last.
Sell everything on the bike you don’t need even the tank you can always buy a cheap tank later when getting track body work wait a minute you’re a old man’s is Scottish he’ll know how to save a pound 😆😆😆🏴👍
1.Fork Cartridges 2.Rear Shock 3.Front Master cylinder and braided lines 4.Quickshifter 5.Steering damper 6.Exhaust System 7.Change sprockets 8.Track fairings 9.Crash protection 10. Rearsets 11.Clip ons 12.Put loads of shitty random stickers on it
Great Stuff @Ruroc getting involved in some awesome projects like this. Absolutely love what they are doing as a company a brand and as a culture. Keep it up!
If I was going to build a Suzuki GSXR600 or 750.. I would get a Thorsten Durbahn self supporting seat unit. Full carbon and saves a good chunk of weight too. K Tech Cartridge kit for the forks and just get the rear shock serviced and sprung for your weight. A full exhaust system and either remapped or a power commander. Decent brake pads and finally get a Pro Fibre faring from Rich who is also local to you. Job done. My little 600 was a little more extreme than that but it did then break the Nurburgring Lap record once it was done. th-cam.com/video/26BrckmIQkI/w-d-xo.html
Shocking what was found on the next episode unbelievable shops are selling machines in this condition.
What a fun project and an amazing video. Very informative and good fun. I couldn't stop laughing.
I love your choice of bike, gsxr 750cc which are iconic and an all rounder.
Welcome to the Gixxer 750cc club as i have a k1 gsxr 750cc and love it to bits although i must admit i bought a pig but now runs like a thoroughbred :)
I shall be watching very closely.
Goodluck
Nice to see James there from Hinckley. Top bloke and the best dealership by a mile! Can't see me ever getting a bike from anywhere else

PUMPED for this build series . Ill be building my cbr 600rr along the way
Rear Shock, fork service, master cylinder, braided lines, pads, endcan and map.. track fairings, decals.. sell the fairing, lights ect.. spare wheels, tyres
Great choice of bike. I think these bikes are great, just stripped back on their own. So the first thing that would make huge difference is Trackday rubber. But after the end of your video. It needs the oil leak fixing 😂😮
Fork kit, shock, RCS master cylinder and really good pads, translogic quickshifter, and engine case protectors
New Hel callipers, pads, master cylinder. K Tech shock and fork internals. Track tyres. Quickshifter. Rearsets. Then the rest on bodywork/clipons etc.
Alongside this could you please give MAD MARK some cash and see what he could come up with. £500 budget and could see him making a moto1 bike!
This is going to be a good watch! ❤ Used to track my road K8 750. Got fed up with switching the fairings all the time. Build me a K8 600 track bike a few years back and still love it.
- Fairing

- Chain and sprockets
- Suspension (piston kit and shock)
- Exhaust
- powercommander+quickshifter? (original ECU can be tuned but pretty rudimental)
- lose some weight (you can chop half the rear frame)
Do this and I know you will be really quick 👌🏻👍🏻
Rcs19, suspension, bodywork, tune, fluid refresh, gaskets refresh, rubber parts refresh, safety wire.
On a budget..
1. Ktech stiffer spring kit front n rear
2. Race pegs
3. Airfilter
4. Dynojet afr adjuster
5. Used race fairings / new ones
Strip n rebuild suspension both ends , brake pads , decent tyres. Track bodywork 👌
A good thrashing on track
I reckon Sticky tyres, Full Exhaust system and tune, Get suspension setup for the rider, rear sets, race discs and pads on the front at least. Maybe a rear shock if budget allows.
Suspension (shock + valving), master cylinder, pads, slipper clutch, quick shifter, cat removal, ecu map.
Oh yeah, and sticky tyres.
Top choices that Taylor 👍🏻👍🏻 erm, basics first, a good once over nut and bolt check, service with quality filters, plugs and oil, fresh brake fluid, decent brake pads, some quality rubber ( I've got a thing for continental race attack, really rate them) and then set up ergonomics where poss (levers, clip ons etc ..) and finally get the suspension set up/overhauled if needed.

Ace to see you back mate 🙂🏍️👍🏻
Race Fairings, race exhaust, suspension front and rear. Fresh rubber. Strip off all you dont need at the track.
Rear shock, fork internals , let it breath--exhaust, make it stop--brakes, lightweight faring!! Check finances 👌👍
Love the content. Look forward to the next.
Trip to Maxton first, some crash protection, braided hoses, sintered pads, rear sets, clip ons, maybe some spares, new oils, probably K&N, power commander and new silencer for a bit of weight saving, finally a bit of body work, probably not a lot left of the 4.5K 😢oh nearly forgot new booties!

Front pads, fork springs, rear shock, full exhaust, crash protection and race fairings 🎉
Suspension resprung for your weight and serviced, possibly valve kit or cartridge if budget allowes
Caliper service and decent pads
New master cylinder
Braided lines
Full service
Ecu flashed on dyno
Quickshifter
That's enough just enjoy the bike
Looking forward to this little series
Nice bike 😎🙌😉
Mint that your back kiddy 👍
Good to hear about your championship 🤷♂️😉😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
great bike (I've raced a 04 and 07 gsxr600, a 08 gsxr750 and a 08 gsx1000).

Rear shock
Front springs and valve kit.. cheaper than cartridges and ur on budget.. good set front pads sbs and brake line
Strip it
Race bodywork
Exhaust and flash
Slicks!!
The perfect track bike, I loved mine. Fork cartridges, a shock, a pipes and a change of pads and you’re good to go 👍
As a complete novice I’d go:
Tyres
Suspension setup/rebuild
Bushing and bearings
Disk and pads
Service and chain
See what’s left after that for maybe a air filter and a 2nd hand exhaust of something ? Maybe I’m dreaming about that much for a couple grand not to sure ??
Think Mad Mark is ashamed of your bartering skills mate lol
Great idea Taylor. Looking forward to watching the series👍
Must see top Taylor tip @ 3:48 - loved it. Looking forward to how this mini series rolls out. First and easy change for me are the tyres, then suspension, brakes. Obviously lights, indicators, reg plate removal goes without saying.
Best thing to do with a GSXR is change the master cylinder, some pads and lines.. Mega bike mate.
Get some track day CRC fairings, forks and rear shock out and off to Colin at 100% for some TLC. Junk the cat and put an air filter, exhaust/power commander and marry this up to a quick shifter. Don’t forget some crash protection and brake guard. Put on some decent track rubber and go have fun. Then book your overseas TD. 3 days in Spain, Portugal or wider a field like Brno cannot be bettered.
Track fairings, SUSPENSION......good to go
And a master cylinder
Sounds like a plan to me 😎
Change levers to adjustable ones.
Some suspensions.
Dump the catalytic convertor, adjust gearing.
Good to go
Ktec suspension, brembo master cylinder/hel hoses , SBS race pads as some road ones overheat on track. Tyres, CRC race fairings and a titanium exhaust race system. If you can get some BST carbon wheels (second hand) would be nice. Hit up James Whitam as he seems to have contacts for Suzuki stuff👍
3:00 I'm sure I recognise that couch from somewhere! Can't quite put my finger on it.....

where the 1000 wont leave you - yes, they will.
@@prozeza I raced a 750, im talking about 1000 of the same era. These new Duc v4 bmw 1000rr the 750 doesnt stand a chance.
❤😂🎉😳 thanks bro
I like the idea of this
This is exactly what I did. Though mine is an 08 GSXR 600. I uploaded a few videos on here when I first built it.
After going through this exact same thing, doing a season of track days and then a season of racing on it last year I would prioritize:

New master cylinder, pads and braided lines (I found on the hard way about this gens MC and have an RCS going on for this season)
Rear shock refresh/Aftermarket unit depending on budget
Fork internals/Dropping the forks as low in the clamps as possible
Full exhaust and remap
Hopefully it treats you well! (though after seeing the preview for the next episode that may not be the case...)
Brembo master cylinder or similar with upgraded pads, track fairings. Exhaust, just end can if on budget. Suspension. Tyres
H&M quick shifter, I had one on my Gixer 600 track bike, amazing keep it up loving this series your doing. 👍🏻🤙🏻
Brake pads/Master Cylinder, gearing, suspension, and lastly fairings👍
I've got a CBR400RR from '89 that would probably be a good candidate for becoming a track bike. It's not got any original fairings, but the engine is great. With a set of Tyga fairings on it, it would look the part, too.

Brakes !! Brembo Master Cylinder, HPK discs, Race pads
Good choice love a 750
Cracking stuff. You're back to your best, Taylor (this beats watching you fall off trials bikes 😂). I'll be interested to see how this pans out. Over the winter I was going to convert my zx6 for the track but bottled it and bought a race-ready r6 instead. Hope you know where to start, because I certainly didn't! Have fun.

Suspension fork cartridge kit with fork extenders, aftermarket shock and slipon with cat delete
The brakes need to be change for sure use calipers+ master cylinder r6 or R1 05-09
Front suspension msxron internals, nitro rear shock, take cat lextek exhaust, bmc air filter remap, you should have still money for a tank 😅
Enjoy the bike
Full exhaust plus remap.👍
Great to have you back Taylor 👍 Fantastic bike, rework forks, quality shock, update the brakes, jettison the cat/fit exhaust (fuelling might need tweaking).....put it on a diet and frazzle some tyres 😎 Love this series !
Coloured rim tape, anodised levers and bolts, LEDs inset in fairing.
Engine tune & uprated brakes for starters 👍🏻
That sofa seems familiar
Can’t wait for the next episode
Awesome bud 👍🏻
Great bike!
Great bike ❤
Hey, Im not a fan of this bike, the Yam R6 is far better on every count, but with £5k to throw at it and the most important box ticks being, shedding weight by removing all that road furniture, suspension setting up with fork internals (K-tech or RaceLabs etc) adjustable rearsets, Renthal/Harris clip-ons, braided hoses and track pads (if not already fitted) chain/sprockets and some good trackday tyres, full titanium exhaust system and with the change out of the £5k, a couple of cups of hot coffee and a packet of biscuits for the trackside garages. There'll be a lot of folk here that'll benefit from watching this build.
Steel braided brake lines...all the best.
First things I would do is Full race exhaust and a good quality rear shock 😎
More of this!!!
Fantastic bike for this project. I've had a couple of 750s ('05 and '12). An almost perfect sport bike.
Race fairings
1-2 up in rear w/ a 520 conversion. May want to go 1 down up front too...
cat delete exhaust. I cut the cat off (2012 model), found a mid-pipe, and added a slip-on
race air filter
Power Commander was always sufficient in my experience; both model years
new brake pads. Calipers and master cylinder were adequate. If not up to par, maybe a new master cylinder first; cheaper
Steel braided brake lines (front for sure)
new forks or fork internals; new shock
clip-ons are always a nice add for the track
rearsets for adjustability
corsa style windscreen to get behind
Lithium ion battery
remove any extra weight possible, e.g. exhaust servo motor, emissions crap, etc.
slicks w/ 190 rear
If it's in the budget, new wheels :)
Have fun with your build!
Fairings, suspension, front master cylinder, rear sets and a quick shifter 👀
Looks mint 👌
In order
Pads
fluid
stainless lines
revalve the forks
new rear shock
tires
Call Stathem and Perkens down at 44T and challenge them to a track battle.
Wish I'd never sold my 750k6.....great bike.
I loved my dads 750. ❤
KTECH suspension, semi slicks, full system exhaust, lighter rims.
If you have the cash, get the suspension sorted first. I'd get the handling fixed so you can deal with power increases. Then an exhaust, then engine mods, looks last.
Who would you recommend for race bodywork regarding fitment and quality thanks?
Sell everything on the bike you don’t need even the tank you can always buy a cheap tank later when getting track body work wait a minute you’re a old man’s is Scottish he’ll know how to save a pound 😆😆😆🏴👍
Mar 29 Glad to hear it 😱👍🇺🇸
Sell the fairing and road clutter. Should get 1.5k back towards upgrades. After the test ride obviously 👍
I’d set static sag and rider sag. That would tell me if I need to sort suspension
Fairings , tyres , suspension, power commander etc
That WD40 clip, fire 🤣🤣
Ahh the 750, best bang for your buck there is
1.Fork Cartridges
2.Rear Shock
3.Front Master cylinder and braided lines
4.Quickshifter
5.Steering damper
6.Exhaust System
7.Change sprockets
8.Track fairings
9.Crash protection
10. Rearsets
11.Clip ons
12.Put loads of shitty random stickers on it
Taylor: Be careful!
Also Taylor: Buys a bike with mint road fairing and tell-tale soft Renthal grips. Money on that bike having been a trackbike.
ABS off, pipe (that meets dB requirements, forks and shock!
Maybe some RGV 250 type graphics, that’s the bike that made me love Suzuki
Needs a fluffy seat, pink levers and the tyre tread painting
Great Stuff @Ruroc getting involved in some awesome projects like this. Absolutely love what they are doing as a company a brand and as a culture. Keep it up!
If I was going to build a Suzuki GSXR600 or 750.. I would get a Thorsten Durbahn self supporting seat unit. Full carbon and saves a good chunk of weight too. K Tech Cartridge kit for the forks and just get the rear shock serviced and sprung for your weight. A full exhaust system and either remapped or a power commander. Decent brake pads and finally get a Pro Fibre faring from Rich who is also local to you. Job done.
My little 600 was a little more extreme than that but it did then break the Nurburgring Lap record once it was done.
