| Accessories: I haven't bought any accesories for my bike. I wanted to keep it in the original condition I bought the bike in. I have been thinking of getting the bottom spoiler. I just can't seem to justify the money for it. | |||
| Problems: I currently have an oil weap out of the right side engine cover, and will try to fix the weap. If the new O ring doesn't fix it I guess I will have to bring it in to get machined. | |||

I love the TL, It is a great biketo ride and well worth the money.

| Problems: After 10,000 hard miles the motor has droped off to 120 hp and a 10% leakdown. Time for a new motor with more power. | |||
|
Comments:
Now making 136.5hp at the revlimiter. I think there is more power at 10,500 when I get there. Toqure is 79ft lbs. The bottom end give away very little and passes the stock motor at 5,500 rpm. The handling is so improved with the computrack nembers it feels like a different bike.

| Bikes Owned: | 7 | ||
| Accessories: Dark Tinted Screen, Headlight protector, powerbronze rear hugger, Tech2000 rear suspension units (separate spring and damping unit supplied ,fitted and set up by James Wilson Campbell at SET UP ENGINEERING | |||
| Modifications: Forks raised in yokes. Tech 2000 rear spring and damper Integral ride height adjuster) fitted. Running an extra 40mm of rear ride height. Much more compliant over bumps. Front forks re-built and set up for my riding style by SET UP ENGINEERING. M4 2-1 system....so much lighter, but bloody loud. | |||
| Problems: Fuel in oil.....slipping clutch......gearbox required rebuild.......oil leak from breather hole on left crankcase cover. I have now spotted cracks at the rear of the standard exhausts. Hoping to get these replaced under warranty, or maybe Suzuki will allow me to put the money towards a full system. The driveshaft bearing let go, chucking out oil and most recently, the crank let go BIG style, and I had to get a new engine. But that is all sorted now. | |||
|
Comments:
It is now the bike it should have been when Suzuki released it on the public. Fireblade stable, quick steering, more powerful 916 eater. Beautiful. 55 second laps on the Brands indy circuit, and eats R1s for breakfast along the short start finish straight beacause of its ability to lay power down smoothly and get drive earlier (just after turn-in usually)

Comments:
This the funnest bike I've ever owned. My last Bike was a Kawasaki ZX-7R with a highly modified ZX9 motor putting out over 160 hp at the rear tire. The bike was just the new meaning of un- balanced though. This bike here is just perfect for me though, torque of a big dirtbike and handling of an FZR.

| Problems: Stumbles, flat spot at about 4000 revs, no fuel in oil as yet, starts 1st time every time, shocking fuel consumption - but who cares ? Stumbles are getting worse since last service, going back again - Front brakes need bleeding regularly to keep feel and the brake fluid is always dirty. | |||

Comments:
Korea is a very bad place to ride this motorcycle and explore even 5% of what this machine is capable of. City streets much too dangerous. Highway system is off limits to two wheeled traffic, Mountain roads are beautiful, but full of trucks, tourists, and traffic congestion of various types (tractors, buggys, pedestrians out on a Sunday stroll. If there are any other sport bike riders out there in Korea, please email me and let me know if you have found any great sportbike roads within a few hours of Seoul.

Comments:
I've just about mastered the wheelies. My average is 3/4 of a mile but I've managed to hold a wheelie up from first through fourth at just over a mile. There was a 15 foot black mark where the front tire came down at and made a loud squell but other than that is was smooth as could be.
