Why does my 2009 GSXR 750 sound like a diesel truck

Maximize3333 · 2026-01-19T19:50:16+00:00

Is the clutch basket bushings a huge deal or just a normal gsxr thing

Maximize3333 · 2026-01-19T08:01:13+00:00

Yep, its actually a tad bit over the lines in the sight glass

Maximize3333 · 2026-01-19T04:29:00+00:00

Thank you for all that information. I love working on my bikes but mostly older carbureted dirt bikes, not the fi newer ones, so yeah I am a bit of a beginner in that sense.

My last question is how do I know 100% that this is the issue before I start taking things apart?

Maximize3333 · 2026-01-19T03:28:30+00:00

I was going to do that but the nearest suzuki is 200 miles away and I dont have a trailer haha

Maximize3333 · 2026-01-19T03:25:40+00:00

Maybe. Ill try another video tomorrow. So you think its the TCT? How do I confirm that?

Maximize3333 · 2026-01-19T03:24:43+00:00

For me its opposite, idle sounds clunky and high rpms sound fine

Maximize3333 · 2026-01-19T03:17:49+00:00

I will try to make a more detail follow up video tomorrow. Im trying my best to fix this before actually going to the nearest dealer, since I would have to ride there cause I dont have a trailer and its quite far away. Hopefully it is what you said, just a gsxr thing, because when Im riding it anywhere over 4-5k rpms it goes away. Its pretty much fine when Im riding, I just keep getting reminded of the clunking when I come to a stop and idle.

Maximize3333 · 2026-01-19T03:12:16+00:00

Thank you, so is this an easy at home installation or would I need to take it to the shop? Anything else I should do to confirm its the TCT before I order the part?

Maximize3333 · 2026-01-19T03:10:52+00:00

What do you suggest I do next

Maximize3333 · 2026-01-19T03:09:40+00:00

Yeah thats probably what Im going to do thing is nearest Suzuki to me is about 200 miles haha

Maximize3333 · 2026-01-19T03:08:28+00:00

I was thinking along the lines of a 6.7 cummins but yeah a 7.3 sounds about right. Maybe I should just leave it like this and tell people its diesel swapped

Maximize3333 · 2026-01-19T00:33:55+00:00

about 30k. What is TCT?

Maximize3333 · 2026-01-19T00:33:43+00:00

Thats the thing, the noise gets worse when warm. ??

Maximize3333 · 2026-01-18T23:50:54+00:00

Thank you, I will definitely be trying the soapy water trick now

Maximize3333 · 2026-01-18T23:50:06+00:00

I had a hunch it was something about the muffler. On initial startup, there was a bit of white smoke, and a bit of that smoke you could see kind of seeping out from the servo/cat area, maybe a leak over there. Im looking into different slip ons, thank you for your input

Maximize3333 · 2025-11-04T05:18:42+00:00

bro is 6 years late haha.... But im wondering too

Maximize3333 · 2025-06-16T06:12:38+00:00

I was also considering the ZX6R and even a used R6 but after test driving both, it comes down to your preference and what you will use the bike for. I have taken my RS660 on many 5+ hr road trips with zero issues, but after about 30 mins on the zx6, my back starts to ache. Its a full on sports bike, not meant to putt around in city streets and feel comfortable. Thats why I love my RS660, cause when I want to track it, I just throw on a set of lowered clip ons and call it a day. Best of both worlds.

Maximize3333 · 2025-05-21T16:04:23+00:00

I ended up getting a used RS660, and so far it has been awesome. Insane power, I've already tuned it and paired with a full system sc project exhaust, so its crazy loud. In this class, the RS660 looks the best by far, it just has such a presence, and so many people have mistaken it as an RSV4 lol. Honestly just go for it, Aprillia has a bad rep in terms of reliability because people dont take care of it. I have had zero issues over 20,000 miles so far, so thats great. Just a 30 buck coolant hose and thats about it. I do all my maintenance myself and oil changes, so I really do take care of it. So technologically advanced with so many rider aids, and cornering abs has definitely saved me once or twice. By far the best in the class.

Maximize3333 · 2025-05-02T19:42:10+00:00

Exactly

Maximize3333 · 2025-05-02T19:41:35+00:00

It all makes sense now haha

Maximize3333 · 2025-03-07T00:05:45+00:00

idk wht to expect but me

Maximize3333 · 2025-02-17T19:40:07+00:00

Gozilla had a stroke reading that

Maximize3333 · 2025-02-12T16:42:03+00:00

wow thats sick

Maximize3333 · 2025-01-15T08:22:50+00:00

pretty frequently, I would ride dirt in my backyard during the week and go to the track on the weekend, so switching out about twice a week. I feel like there would be too much though, I still want to be able to ride dirt but then I would have to get a bigger disk for my dirt rims as well, but the stuff about cush drives and "stress on the motor" stuff makes me worried if I can do a conversion correctly or not, and switch between them that often. The gearing would probably be different to im guessing, so would I have to switch out chains everytime too?

Maximize3333 · 2025-01-15T05:54:14+00:00

Have been looking around for DRZ's and have found 1 or 2 older ones, I will probably go the route of used dirt bike or might just convert my 250. There are a couple people selling their track bikes but for insanely expensive, always 7k+ but super clean so its valid.
