gsxr 600
Posted 06-30-2010 at 08:23 AM by airforce12
I just got a 2007 gsxr 600 and it seems like when I slow down to make a stop from 2nd to 1st just goes right into neutral. There is only 4700 miles on it. Also, when I am in 3rd gear cruising at a comfortable speed, the display will show 4th gear then jump back to 3rd. What's going on here? Do I need to be worried?

welcome to the world of the GSXR and its woes.
all the 06 and newer GSXRs are very finiky about their oil and it shows up in the shifting behavior. when the oil is done and needs changed you start having shifting issues like what you are describing.
here are some oils ive used and my thoughts on them.
Mobil 1 full synthetic, any weight= about 600 miles before you get shifting problems. my opinion? FUCKING GARBAGE!!! great for cars and other bikes but the GSXRs hate it.
Castrol R1 full synthetic 10w40= 1800-2000 miles. ran this for a long time. its realativly inexpensive at $10-$11 a quart.
Motorex Power Synt 4T full synthetic 10w50=3000+ miles i love this stuff! but it is kinda expensive at $18-$19 a quart.
dont even wast your time or money on synthetic blends unless you really need an oil change and it cant wait till payday.
i switched to full synthetic after 1500 miles on my bike and have never looked back. i now have 33000+ miles on my bike and it runs like a champ and i have yet to have anything but the battery and stator fail or be out of spec when it goes in for its checkupsPosted 12-21-2010 at 10:14 AM by BLIZANTHIMUM
