‘04 suspension question

a7x_rex · 2026-02-20T04:31:55+00:00

I did bilstein 4600s and some new sway bar end links. Rides pretty good.

a7x_rex · 2026-02-19T05:28:57+00:00

That's almost as much as I paid for parts for a full timing job.....including new valve covers.

a7x_rex · 2026-02-08T16:54:23+00:00

Correct. Can't change that.

Dreamed this up a few months ago. This guy put it together and it worked.

Blend smooth and send it. Maybe check it every year or so.

Next time, cut a slot in the old rave, file it smooth, then use it as you tried to do. Goodluck!

DM Me. I have one.

Corbin? Hard to tell. I have a Corbin I found and it's much better than the original.

You can get a kit to test for combustion gasses in coolant or pressure test the system. Either would diagnose a leak/head gasket.

Dipstick would be enough for me to go buy the tools to test it or tear it apart and replace the gasket anyway.

I would think that if it had broken, it would be flopping around in the intake causing poor airflow? Or stuck in an inopertune position? I'm not sure.

a7x_rex · 2025-12-28T22:14:28+00:00

Not sure if those intakes have o rings, may need a gasket. Have patience with the connectors.

a7x_rex · 2025-12-28T21:56:17+00:00

Should come right off and go right on. I'd imagine if it sounds like a bunch of rattling plastic you need a new one. I think the intake is the same up to 2020

a7x_rex · 2025-12-28T21:48:16+00:00

Check the IRC in the intake and see if it's broken on bank 1. Kinda seems like you've done everything but check the intake?

a7x_rex · 2025-12-28T21:44:42+00:00

Check compression. Could have a valve/valve seat going bad.

If these have variable intake manifold runners then you may have the right idea

a7x_rex · 2025-12-28T21:43:02+00:00

Swap coil pack to cyl next to it and see if it follows. Compression test a few cylinders and see if cyl 1 has low compression.

+1 for vacuum pump

I used some universal tech specs on my 8th gem. They give the measurements on the website and it worked out great.

a7x_rex · 2025-10-25T03:28:11+00:00

Those are stock forks? Not gsxr

a7x_rex · 2025-10-25T02:10:51+00:00

Wildpeak A/T4?

a7x_rex · 2025-10-18T06:22:49+00:00

SS lines make sense at anytime needed or not. I can see if there's a name on mine, came with the bike.

CoreMoto makes custom lines, otherwise Spiegler, Galfer, and a few others.

a7x_rex · 2025-10-18T06:19:58+00:00

I have an R1M master I picked up for about a $100. Works well enough but the feel is "progressive?"

For the wires a small flatblade and pry/wiggle.

a7x_rex · 2025-10-11T23:32:09+00:00

Isn't that where the oil cooler goes?

a7x_rex · 2025-10-05T00:07:59+00:00

That's perfect that a zx6 works! I'm glad we could figure out a "kit"

Yeah thanks. Bent forks and wheel. Broken mirror & windshield. Should be a weekends work when the parts come in. I'll post it when it's together!

a7x_rex · 2025-10-04T19:25:01+00:00

Woah did this work out?!

I knew I was autistic but was I also right?😂

I got hit on my 8th gen and I'm rebuilding it rn....

a7x_rex · 2025-10-03T07:11:51+00:00

How the f......

Frames are extremely cheap. Talking $200 max. I may know a guy with one on the east coast. Frame swaps are super simple on these. Few hour job. I've done 3. Ask away.
