Suzuki GSX-R description

2001 GSXR 1000 R. A bit of history on me and this bike. I was CCS National AM Heavyweight Superbike champion in 1999. I was on the lookout for a new race bike, and put feelers out from people I knew for what I was looking for. Well a good buddy of mine who was in the used car/bike business, found this at auction with less than 50 miles on it being sold by an insurance company. It was involved in a head on accident, basically right off of the showroom floor! Anyway, it was exactly what I was looking for. My plans were to race it during the 2nd half of 01, but by the time I got the bike done, I had decided to stop racing. Anyway, so right up front this bike has a SALVAGE TITLE and will need to be addressed by the DMV in your state to be put back on the road, which should be easy, I should have done it when I 1st got it in PA as I could have had it done for almost nothing. Anyway, so the damage was the front wheel was ovaled, the frame tucked, the exhaust system was damaged and most of the body work damaged, but that was it. This was originally a black/silver bike, and I treded the perfect originbal black tank, for the mint yellow one on it now, as that would match the color scheme I would be doing. I bought a new front wheel for it, had the frame straightened and optimized by GMD COMPUTRACK (they did my race bikes and it makes a difference, even over a new out of the crate frame!), put a titanium Ti-Force full race exhaust system on it (they were getting the best numbers on these) and a full Sebimoto/Yoyodyne Carbon Fiber/Kevlar weave race body on it, with full carbon fiber intake ducts and front fender $$$$$$!!!!!. Since I had pretty much decided to not race at that point, I called Tape Works, and bought some yellow/blue and black material, and had them do the Suzuki and GSXR logos and did my own graphics as I wanted to do the vintage Suzuki race colors, and also show off all of the carbon and kevlar!. I put Billet ProTek rear sets on it, they are mint. The front headlight is from a lexus, and its mounting bracket (and the superbike seat support bracket) are made from epoxy bonded lightweight aluminum. The headlight is only one beam, and when switched to high beam in turns off. I put the original taillight assembly back on but up under the rear cowl more with small "bullet" style turn signals (only in the rear). and that is basically all I did to the bike back in 2001. I road it on the street illegally for the next few summers, basically cruising down to the Jersey shore on it for the weekends, and then it sat stored in my dads warehouse until 2007. I rode it a few times during that period, but not much. The bike got any bruises it has now from being in that warehouse and people bumping in to it. So I moved to upstate NY in the fall of 2007, and planned on getting the bike legal at the DMV, but my soon to be wife said NO WAY, as I was getting back into MX and she did not want to worry about me on the street and the dirt. So the bike has sat again basically unused for another 8 years!!! 5 or so years ago, I put a new battery in it and changed the gas out, and ran it for a bit, and back in the garage it went until yesterday, when I decided it was time to sell it. So now the bike. First off, this bike has NEVER been stored outside, and has barely ever seen rain, so there is basically no corrosion on it anywhere. I put a new gell battery in it yesterday, took the gas tank off and pulled the fuel pump, and dumped out all of the very stale gas. To my surprise there was no varnish build up, and the inside of the tank and the fuel pump look new. I pulled the airbox cover off, fully expecting a mouse nest or 4, but nothing, so I put it back together, dumped some 110 octane race gas (what I run in my MX bike) and it fired right up. I got to see the miles, which I thought were in the high 2000s, but it was 3333! But not all was good the bike was missing, so I ran some Sea Foam thru it today, and dumped some more straight in the throttle bodies, and it has slowly been getting better. I assume the fuel injectors, and possible the screens in the fuel pump should be cleaned, but like I said the inside of the tank looks new. I rode it for the 1st time in probably 8-9 years today and it will run great then stutter then run great again. I assume it is a clogged injector, as it seems to miss on one cylinder when it is stiutering, then it will be fine? Maybe new plugs will help? But in the 9 miles I rode it, 6 of them it was perfect and pulled like it should, then the othert 3 it would stutter, then clear itself out. Remember this bike is barely broken in with 3342 ORIGINAL miles, so it is something stupid, or from my stupidity of not running it every year! The bike feels tight and new, as it should with 3342 miles The bike shifts perfect through every gear, and the clutch feels like new The tires are the original Suzuki Battleaxes, and they do not look horrible to my amazement, but, being 15 years old now, I dont know if I would trust my life on them. There are some scratches and a very small ding on the exhaust can from storage There are some minor stress marks in the bodywork, the worst is the area in front of the left clip on, also all from being banged in to during storage at mat dads warehouse. There are NO mirrors on the bike (I was going to put those bar end ones on it for it pass at the DMV if necessary) There are only rear turn signals on it though I did not cut the harness for the front ones which would be easy to install if necessary to pass the DMV The horn works The rear running/plate and brakelight work as they should, but since the bike has race BILLET ProTeK rear sets, the rear brake lever does not actuate the light, only the front lever does, but again the harness was not cut for the rear brake lever switch. The radiator fan operates as it should The headlight is from a Lexus, that I got out of a junkyard in 2001, I have no idea of what model or year it came from, but the bulb should be a standard bulb. It throws a nice bright straight ahead beam, but does not throw a really wide one. The hi/lo beam switch basically is an on/off switch now. There may be a replacement bulb that would offer hi and lo, I never looked in to it as it works great and is nice to actually be able to turn the light off. The seat foam is that 1/2" adhesive stuff that glues to the bodywork, it is showing its age a bit. The bike has sat unused for 8 or so years and will most likely need an oil change, spark plugs, and most likely the fuel system (injectors and pump screens) properly cleaned. The bike has a salvage title issued to me in 2001 as shown in the last pics, which also shows the matching VIN number on the bikes steering head. If the bike is going to be turned into a track bike, no big deal, but if being put back on the road legally (not what I did!!!!) that is up to the new owner to handle if their state allows that (most do) I think that pretty much sums up everything, but I stress to ask questions as I could have forgotten something, or ask if yo need to see any close up pics. Also I encourage anyone local that may be interested in it to come have a look in person, my phone number is 315 298 6797 Also included will be the original black /silver rear seat cowl in great condition, the drivers seat in like new condition (I never got the passenger seat with it) I think the passenger pegs I still have, and other bits and pieces I removed when I built the bike in 2001, I will dig everything out and include a pic of everything I find in the next few days. Also the front and rear aluminum track stands (the rear is shown in the pics) that I used when racing in the late 90s, they are nice stands.
