People always talk about "german engineering" this "german engineering" that, but there is nothing quite as satisfying as the way Suzuki just engineers logically to perfection on their bikes
Except the turn signals...
and maybe the headlight...
but definitely the goddamn turn signals.
Suzuki did an amazing job on this bike IMO. - Brian Van
Completely agree, it's the kind of wow-factor bike we haven't really seen much from Suzuki from in quite a while.. though there is something to be said about the K8 GSX-R1000 with the Growler from Racefit (also known as the best sounding bike in the world when it has that exhaust on).
Mainfold The Gsxr series going back to the Srad days are superb designs for simply working on them, good design done well.
I always like to add a little red rubber grease to the rubber grommets puts the plastics under much less stress during removal, fantastic videos Brian.
Those "push in the middle" fasteners under the front fairing. Thanks for that, as I couldn't figure out how to get them out! Always the simple things... ;)
By far the best video on how to remove your body work. Thanks to you I am now able to change my own oil on my 2022 GSX-R 1000R. Thank you. First oil change at 600 miles. Now it’s time for some fun, finally.
Happy to hear it was helpful and thanks for watching! - Van
I have 2024 GSXR- 1000R, and this video helped a lot
Van, can you update your videos for the 2024 GSXR-1000R
Hey Brian, Do you think you could do a video on removing the front fairing around the headlight please? There's not much available on that and you do a GREAT job of explaining and demonstrating these things!
Sorry we have converted the GSXR to track only and the street fairings are no longer on the bike. - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear I totally understand. Thank you for the response I could you help with instructions on how to do that or a reference that you could suggest?
Nice job and very nice video step by step method, thank for sharing that ;)
You are welcome and thank you for watching! - Van
Excellent !!! Always nice videos !!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I usually just put fastener right back in hole it came from to not lose track.....if it doesn't interfere
That is for sure a great way to keep track of where they came from. - Van
Thank you
You are welcome and thank you for watching! - Van
Thanks for the thorough video 👌
awesome content pal. Suzuki make some of the nicest looking bikes in the world, but also probably some of the worst looking stock indicators haha
Thanks man. I agree that the bike is beautiful but Suzuki is not going to win an OEM turn signal contest anytime soon. - Van
Great vid as always, thanks buddy
You are welcome and thank you for watching. - Van
Thank you for this video as I will get my gsxr1000r soon. I know nothing about repairing and mods. So this will definitely help me when I need to install an engine cover. Hopefully I can do it
You are welcome and thank you for watching! - Van
Nobody shows how to disassemble the front headlight fairing. can some send me a link if they have one?
Once you have all the side panels off the side fairings off the upper fairing is pretty simple IMO. There are a couple of fasteners that need to be removed from the back side of the fairing. - Van
I’ve taken all of my fairings off, about too order Hotbodies race fairings with dzus fasteners set of 6. (Not for sure how many I need. How do I remove the front headlight & led lights from the harness so that I can still have the dash screen still plugged in?
You will leave the dash installed on the upper fairing stay. For the Hotbodies kit you will need 6 Dzus. - Van
Very helpful video, thank y'all for taking the time to put this together. Side note, do you sell the cool shop style button up shirts like what you're wearing?
You are welcome and thank you for watching! Sorry, we do not sell this shirt. This is an old pit shirt from when I was racing. - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear it's a cool ole pit shirt! I'm still really enjoying the boots I purchased from you guys after watching a product overview video. 5 start company rating for Sport bike track gear all around!!
Hi thanks for the video. Can u upload the video of putting them back. Thanks.
Sorry this bike has since been converted to a race only bike and we will not be reinstalling the OEM fairings. - Van
Where is the hole video? How to remove the tank cover plastic???
This is all we removed for this video. The upper fairing is not very difficult once you have the other pieces removed. - Van
Helpful, thanks for video
You are welcome and thank you for watching! - Van
How does the front cowling come off?
Battling my arse off.
Sorry that we did not include that in this video. There are some fasteners that mount the upper to the fairing stay you can access from the back side once you have the side fairings off the bike. Once you have the fasteners out there are some locator dowels that slide into some rubber grommets so you will have to pull forward lightly to remove the fairing. - Van
Pulling forward lightly is an understatement.
Care to be taken not to damage the plastics when pulling forward off the rubber grommets.
Success thanks.
Sounds like you have it sorted out now.@@janedubourg4837
Do you have clip for removal headlight of this bike?? Thank!!!
Sorry we did not film that. - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear ok. Im did it!
Should you use blue thread locker when putting the fairings back on?
No I would no recommend you do that on the body fasteners. A good rule to follow would be if the factory fastener had thread locker on it then use thread locker again. - Van
Sportbike Track Gear ok cool. Thanks for clearing that up for me.
How about removing ram air and headlight fairing?
We have race bodywork on the bike now, no more headlight. - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear darn lol. Looking for simplest method to swap out front intake fairing. Curious of the entire front clip needs to be removed
@@eeasland1623 If you are looking to replace the ram air tubes the side and front fairing will need to be removed. It is not super difficult on this bike. - Van
nice.
awesome 650ib
"Pretty cool connector". Such a nerd, haha
Chris
*14:00 Dealer days hu? I knew it!!! I thought you looked like a coke dealer......
LOL sorry to disappoint that was from the days as a tech at the Cadillac dealer. - Van
Ughhh! I need to know how to remove the one piece u left on! The very front plastic piece that goes around the headlight. Any suggestions?
Once you have the rest off the nose should be pretty accessible and not too difficult. -Van
@@sportbiketrackgear I have everything off but that piece and I can’t figure it out. Seems like there are screws that are not accessible at all…
Suzuki's are always the easiest to work on sportsbikes, fantastic design.
Agreed, no one does this better than Suzuki does. - Van
Can you change the headlight bulb on a 2018 gsxr 1000 ?
I do not have the OEM bodywork for this bike any longer. - Van
Watching Van work on bikes really makes me want to invest into a really solid set of T-Handles.
Facts! Lol and I did exactly tht 👌
Can I make a donation towards a new man's sized shirt for you? Lol. Your shirt buttons are stressed!
Sure I will accept all donations via PayPal. Let me know when you are ready and I will send you the address for the payment. - Van
Thank you so much for this video and taking the time this has helped me a lot.
You are welcome and thank you for watching! - Van
Great work🤟
Thanks for watching! - Van

The Suzuki GSX-R1000 is the greatest sport bike EVER. You're welcome. - Van
Van what is your bike of choice for track and street? :)
Well that is a tough one for me to answer because I prefer a R3 or Ninja 400 on the street and a 1000cc bike on the track. - Van
does anyone know if a 2018 gsxr front fairing will fit a 2012 gsxr?
More work that it would be worth IMO. - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear thanks for the reply! 👍
If its a GSXR 600 all of the parts are interchangeable after 2011 to present year
@@joe.dasilva thanks for the help 👍🙏
