Close call

Let me begin by saying I’m ok, but a little shaken. I was riding this morning as I often do, early, before traffic gets heavy and kiddos are still snoozing. On my way back home, I was on a sweeping lefthand turn single lane fly-over/over pass to merge onto a major highway and some dipshit in a mustang decided to pass me on the inside of a fucking SINGLE lane on ramp. I wasn’t expecting it, got startled… I stood the bike up momentarily and by the time I collected my shit, I was in the fucking concrete guard rail. I damn near went over the side, which would’ve been a good 60+’ fall onto a busy highway. So if the fall didn’t kill me, the traffic most certainly would have. I was in full gear, which took the brunt of the hit, and I never dropped the bike, just bounced pretty hard off the wall. The fuck face never stopped and I didn’t get a look at the license plate.

At the end of the day I’m fine, just a little sore and some minor road rash on my arm where my jacket got worn through on the concrete rail. But now my confidence is a little shaken. My pants took the brunt of the impact, knee pads and hip pads totally saved the day. I’ve had close calls before but this one is fucking with me a little. Not really looking for advice or anything, maybe just more to vent and try to get this shit out of my head. I’m going to be down for a bit as I repair the side fairings and transmission case. Also, there’s a leak in the radiator somewhere that I’ve yet to be able to find. I plan to just take it to the shop and let the pros handle it. The bike was rideable back to my house which was only a couple miles away. I didn’t even notice the radiator leak until I got parked in the garage and shut down, so it’s not major but obviously needs to be addressed. Anyway, that’s all folks, ride safe and watch out for retards.

EDIT: IMPORTANT! One piece of gear I don’t have but will absolutely be investing in is a camera. Perhaps it would have captured this dickheads license plate.

What are these things attached under the rear fairing, above the exhaust. I only have hangers for this on my 1100 and didn't know what's it for.

Cylindrical, looks like a shock absorber or compressed air canister of sorts.

Dropped my bike 2 weeks ago on its left side and now when I go to turn on the bike it turns on but the gauge cluster doesn’t. Fuel pump primes neutral light is on but the rest does not light up at all. I checked the 10/15fuses under the seat but they’re all fine.

Should I get gsxr750 as first bike?

0 Upvotes

Looking to buy a new gsxr750 as my first bike and I have no riding experience and never rode but I plan to take the MSF course and practice with the gsxr after that. I know people said a liter bike is too much but I’ve heard that a 600 is fine so I’m choosing something in between and also I could keep it for longer without needing to upgrade. I have 2 friends that also got into riding a month ago together and one got a ninja 400 and the other got a Yamaha r3 but I want to get a real bike and also something that gives me that aggressive sport bike and track feel. Also I was told by my ninja friend that it would be a bad idea to get the gsxr since I’m going to only wear a helmet because it can be dangerous. But I plan to learn with it slowly like at an empty lot and then go on the freeway/street. Also I just don’t want to wear gear because it’s too much work and it looks good but I’m just fine with a helmet. My friends told me it would be better to start on something like a ninja 4/5 or r3 or mt03/7 but I just don’t want a slow bike and also naked bikes aren’t my thing so that’s that. I want a sportbike and I want a fast one and not a scooter but at the same time I don’t know what’s too much to handle and what’s fine because I have never been on a motorcycle. Also would it be okay to ride if I’m 5ft10 and 120 pounds

2007 GSX-R1000 K7: Ratcheting noise at ignition ON, C46 fault, power loss at 10K RPM

1 Upvotes

My 2007 GSX-R1000 has a full aftermarket exhaust and an ECU flash.

When I turn the ignition on, the fuel pump primes, followed by approximately three seconds of ratcheting/clicking from beneath the fuel tank.

The noise started after my secondary throttle actuator was re-enabled. Previously, it didn’t make this sound.

The bike also hits a wall around 10,000 RPM under heavy throttle across multiple gears, although the engine continues running.

Dealer mode currently shows C46 (exhaust valve actuator).

Could this be a secondary throttle actuator issue, an exhaust servo issue, or something else? Has anyone experienced something similar?

Need help identifying part

This thing got cracked in a slide (driver switched lanes without checking mirrors). Looks like I’d be replacing both the cover and the lower part, basically both black parts here. What’s this thing called? Right side of bike. I think it’s the crankcase cover/starter cover or something. Can anyone help?

Frame cover

Anyone got carbon frame covers for their bike? What you use to stick it to the frame since it gets hot on that area.

Will be doing a full exhaust! But that’s gonna be closer to my tune date! With that being said I’m still wanting a little better of a sound! Any slip on ideas? That sound good with the Cat still attached, i would cut it off but i don’t want to mess with the performance of my bike ! Not wanting to spend stupid money on one saying I’ll be going full exhaust in 4-5 months plus spending for a tune!

Fuel issue on a 07 750.

1 Upvotes

I got a 07 750 that has a fuel issues I believe. Want to know where to start buying or maybe checking parts. Or if one of yall has possibly ran into this issue. It cranks for about 5-6 seconds inconsistently sometimes will start in 2-3 seconds. But will take forever to start. I have not done new injectors yet. I replaced the strainer on the oem fuel pump. Haven’t done the pump motor or regulator. I’ve done spark plugs and that’s about it. It use to start on first crank cold a few months ago but now struggles even when cold starting. Any tips appreciated 🙏🏼
