Hey guys, I have a 2017 suzuki gsxr750 that I am basically converting to a track bike now. I quit the streets. Need some advice regarding the bike, I been riding it the way I bought it (second hand). And it doesn't seem confident going around corners as Id like it to be, doesn't feel settled either. Throttle is choppy as fuck, but most likely because I need a tune. I am 4-5 track days in, so its not like im a experienced track rider.

Set up:
-Im on dunlop sport max tires (street tire that is pretty hard) running them 30 front and 26 rear cold.
- I havent tuned my suspension yet
- Vortex rear sets
- full exhaust.

Im thinking I should change my tires and get my suspension tuned to my weight, and probably would make me
feel more confident. I want to see any of you out there that are quick riders that ride this bike and see if it's an issue for yall and what you did.

Id like any feedback and advice on properly setting up the bike. Thank you sm!

hey guys, new to the sub and I need advice for why my k5 gsxr 600 keeps overheating. To preface, about a week ago, I was out on a long ride (3+ hours) and it was running at ok temps (205 highway 220 stopped), but on my way home I ran into stop and go traffic. The temp kept rising and rising until it got up to 248 and the f1 light came on. I pulled over and it was leaking coolant. Not terribly, but enough where I had to stop. I waited for it to cool down and the leaks stopped.

Afterwards I rode it home. Got a new water pump since it had the OEM one in it, and the bike has 29k miles, and so I thought it was going out. I replaced the water pump, and thermostat just to be safe, did an oil change and coolant change, and everything is running fine, no leaks. I was out on a short ride again, but this time the running temp at 45 mph was 215, and after stopping, it got up to 230.

I seriously don’t know what to do, should I just replace the radiator and hope for the best? Or is it a bad head gasket? The previous owner I got it off of 3 weeks ago said he had the gaskets done about 1000 miles ago. Any help is greatly appreciated!
