thanks for the specs

Great info. How about 97-00 GSXR600? Same as 01-03? I'm interested in oil capacity and the weight of oil.

Also what oil filter are you guys using?

[jk750]

No, I did! Or we both did... Oh well, no one noticed.

[YBlegal]

just out of curiosity, whats the stock rear sprocket tooth count on a 00 GSX-R 600?

[Endorphine]

So what is the actually horsepower/torque #'s on the 04 - 05 600's?

I believe its 45 with a 16 tooth front sprocket. 108 link 525 chain.

[twocannons]

What about plugs, air filter, oil filter PN's and such.

hey jk750, when listing color schemes for the '04-'05, you forgot my scheme.

the 2004 GSX-R 600 is the only year with the black/orange paint scheme.
