Awesome bike mate. I bought mine at the beginning of last year. Great value for money and it hold its head high on the track as well. Change your front brake pads to SBS RST's, once bedded in they are much better than stock pads. Enjoy and be safe out there. From Australia 👍
Got a '22 model alongside my Ducati Hypermotard 950. I love my Suzuki so much. Looks awesome, amazingly smooth and so god damn fast as long as you keep it in 1st or 2nd. Honestly the bike is almost "too good". Its so clean, its like scalpel. That engine is amazing. A couple of tips based on my experience that you (or others) might find useful. (1) Change tires sooner rather than later. The Dunlops that the bike comes on are of worse quality than if you bought the same tires from a dealer. After around 10k km I bought a pair of Dunlop Sport Smart mk3 and it revolutionized the bikes handling. I mean truly night and day difference. Had I knew that from the getgo, I would literally change tires after first service. (2) After first service you will likely notice a clicking sound that comes and goes. This is the CCT (cam chain tensioner), which is automatic. The sound will come and go as it adjusts itself. Don't worry about the sound. If it really, really bothers you, the only "fix" is to install a manual CCT which you have to adjust yourself. New japanese sportbikes all have this "issue", just understand its the bike working as it should and nothing to worry about. (3) After 1-2k km, the chain (the one that connects wheel and engine) will loosen up quite a bit. Once you tighten it, it will stay tight for a long time. Just know it loosens up relatively quickly before the first tightening. You'll notice the engine response improving significantly once you tighten it back up again (It probably hasn't loosened up just yet in your case, though!)
Not sure why everyone complains about the Gsxr’s. Gotta K7 1000 and can ride it for hours, no back or wrist pain whatsoever. Pushing 40 so you young dudes shouldn’t have any problems 🤷🏾♂️
For me the issue is just why do I wanna be hunched over the bike in the streets? If I wanna do highway I'd rather just have a cruiser or something. If I want a fun fast bike for the twisties and the streets, a naked like this is just superior cause you get the comfort and handling for the streets, and plenty of front tire feel for twisties. The only thing you lose is the sweet looks of a purebred racing machine. Which of course does matter, and I totally understand people who wants their bike to have that look. But for me personally, I'd rather be slightly less cool but considerably more comfortable.
@@dasauto44 it’s an amazing bike! Seat does get uncomfortable for me after a couple of hours. I would definitely make wheelie videos, but I can’t do them lol I’ve only power wheelied maybe an inch on traction control set on 2

@@michaelmckenna2882 thank you! yes I definitely have to change those
Pennsylvania is such a beautiful state to ride in. Your new Suzuki is really good looking.
I’m going to have to come back and explore! Thank you!
I got one three weeks ago. Awesome bike!
@@MotoLopez1k yes it really is! We must’ve got them on the same week

Wow thanks for this! Yes I was worried about the clicking sound, but the dealer said it was normal.
This helps me out a lot. I’m thinking of buying one very soon. Thanks!
shid you gotta do what you gotta do to be comfortable. sad to see the zx6r is gone but looks like you got a nice replacement
@@streetdreamz8056 yeah bro I’m loving the new bike. Makes me wanna explore lol rode for 200 miles this day
Bro put in power mode A and ride the damn bike.
@@chitoloveone7565 😂 next time
Bro, Show the bike first
I sub because of nice exhaust sound of Zx6r
@@bikermc I know I miss the sound of the zx6r too
I have a 2023 zx6r and thinking 🤔 about getting a Suzuki gsx-s1000gt
That bike is sweet too!

Everyone is not as healthy as you
Yes, not everyone is as healthy as you, and certainly not so outwards in promoting that.
The s will be more comfortable than the r. Some people enjoy the added comfort

@@k1mura92 yes I agree!
Does it have wheelie control?
@@dasauto44 no it doesn’t but, traction control stops the wheel from coming up
@@JagMoto636 there is a 99% chance im getting the gsxs 1000. So dam comfortable.
Another video on wheelies and wheelie control would bring in views!!!!

@@JagMoto636 it takes time. One day you will get angry at at traffic and pull a power wheelie up the hill.
