Hiya,
Just picked up my brand new GSXS-1000 in blue from my local dealer last week. Not many k's on the clock yet, but loving it so far!
I came from a 2008 Hayabusa, which is a wonderful machine, but I really wanted a naked bike as I have never had one. After doing loads of research the GSXS came out at the top of the list.
She comes to me with a few upgrades already. She's got an R&G tail tidy, Enermax screen and a Yoshimura full system which sounds fantastic!
Looking forward to getting her run in and enjoying some riding!
I've got some plans to make her even better. I'm going to get her tuned to maximise the potential of the Yoshimura full system and hopefully get rid of the annoying part throttle behaviour that this bike has.
An Ohlins TTX36 shock and rebuilt fork internals will be on the cards too. I had this done on my Hayabusa which totally transformed her.
I plan on enjoying the odd track day so will install braided lines and sintered pads to reduce the chance of brake fade.
Although the most important daily upgrade I'm looking for is some soft pannier bags and tail bag for commuting and road tripping duty. I plan on having a look through this forum for some recommendations.
From what I've seen so far this forum is full of knowledgeable people. I look forward to sharing experiences with you all during my tenure with this beautiful beast.
