Where’s the mistake………

Post by wull »

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!

It's probably just my complete lack of knowledge but i've been staring for a while, can I get a clue?

Is it that there's so such thing as a K9, it's actually an L1?

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.

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 :crazy:

Are you sure it doesn't have traction control, my GSXS does and it's a budget bike that first came out in 2017

Since when did a GSXR1000 do 32 mpg.

What if it’s ridden by some sort of effeminate commuter?

It’s a 2009 bike and has the power mode select button which started with the 2007 bike I believe. No traction control.

L1 is a 2011 bike. L0 is 2010 and K9 is 2009.

I don’t think the GSXR 1000 got traction control until the L7 2017 model.

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.

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.

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 though :lol:

are you sure ?

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.

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

It's a fair assumption, it's well known that Suzuki riders are limp-wristed :silent:
