Where’s the mistake………
Can anyone spot the mistake? Or the lack of knowledge, or the lack of understanding of how things work?
It made me laugh because it reminded me of an argument I had with a fuckwit many years ago, the silly cunt just would not listen!

Re: Where’s the mistake………
It’s the traction control, or the lack of.
But it states in the description…….
Traction Control.
I think people like the guy who I had the argument with many years ago mistaken the power mode select button with traction control, it has nothing to do with traction control.
It beggars belief.

Re: Where’s the mistake………
I thought it might be the line "while economy is taken care of by a 17.5 litre fuel tank returning 32 mpg". Since when is 32mpg economic and what has that got to do with tank size

Re: Where’s the mistake………
Are you sure it doesn't have traction control, my GSXS does and it's a budget bike that first came out in 2017

Re: Where’s the mistake………
It’s a 2009 bike and has the power mode select button which started with the 2007 bike I believe. No traction control.Le_Fromage_Grande wrote: ↑Thu Feb 10, 2022 10:42 am Are you sure it doesn't have traction control, my GSXS does and it's a budget bike that first came out in 2017

L1 is a 2011 bike. L0 is 2010 and K9 is 2009.KungFooBob wrote: ↑Thu Feb 10, 2022 9:39 am Is it that there's so such thing as a K9, it's actually an L1?

Re: Where’s the mistake………
I don’t think the GSXR 1000 got traction control until the L7 2017 model.

Re: Where’s the mistake………
Since I've been looking at all things GSXS I'm surprised by the amount of people claiming high 40-low 50 MPG at times. I suspect I probably won't be getting near this.Le_Fromage_Grande wrote: ↑Thu Feb 10, 2022 10:43 amSince when did a GSXR1000 do 32 mpg.Trinity765 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 10, 2022 10:38 am I thought it might be the line "while economy is taken care of by a 17.5 litre fuel tank returning 32 mpg".

Suppose it depends how you ride but I’ve managed some good returns with regards to mpg, I think most bikes in general can be generous with what you get considering the performance. The 1299s was shocking but that was to be expected.

Re: Where’s the mistake………
Actually thinking about it, yes I guess on a 1000cc a lot of the time you are using not a lot of it's potential. Esp on a run where you aren't going Banzai. Having said that I remember my Blade being more economical at 100mph than 70, I guess as it was at a more efficient part of the engines tuning. I doubt I'd have got that passed the rossers thoughwull wrote: ↑Thu Feb 10, 2022 11:53 am

weird that the gsxr750 doesnt
edit
Based around the GSX-R750 K5’s inline four, the GSX-S750’s engine is smooth and lacks any surprises. It’s easy to live with, sounds great when revving and has a good throttle connection. The three-stage traction control works well and the clutch is light, however overall it does lack that spark of excitement that its rivals boast.

Yes I'm sure, you can feel it cutting the power if you accelerate hard on gravel or in the wet.weeksy wrote: ↑Thu Feb 10, 2022 12:10 pmare you sure ?Le_Fromage_Grande wrote: ↑Thu Feb 10, 2022 10:42 am Are you sure it doesn't have traction control, my GSXS does and it's a budget bike that first came out in 2017

And I think I'm getting mid 30s mpg at best, but I ride like a twat.
