GSXR600 "K" Question

[chilli]

I've got a "T" reg GSXR600, and would like to know what "version" it is....I'm looking for bits and bobs on ebay, and everything seems to have a "K" number with it. Anyone know what number mine is??!!

Many thanks.

Yours is a T plater so presumably a GSXR 600 WW or more commonly referred to generically as an SRAD model. (pron. ESSRAD)

GSXR codes:

97 = WT
98 = WV
99 = WW
00 = WX

The bike was then totally overhauled - new frame, engine, fuel injection, digital clocks, more angular panels...

01 = k1
02 = k2
03 = k3

Another remodelling took place in late 03 - USD forks, projector lamps, etc.

04 = k4
05 = k5


Your SRAD can be updated with K 1,2,3 parts but would need significant fiddling. The tailpiece can be grafted on to give a more angular look and the main fairings will fit if you fabricate some brackets. This can be prohibitively expensive - probably cheaper/easier to just buy a complete K bike.

I did 10 years on various incarnations of the GSXR family, ace bikes - but I just got bored of the constant upgrades the japs continually farm out. I lost a fortune buying the latest/fastest/lightest every couple of years.

Now got a Triumph, significant model changes come with every Ice Age.
