Very nice, well done mate!😁👍 Perfect Ferrari Testarossa color, looks & sounds really great, love it as well all stock! I have a slightly different taste though concerning the color, as I think the uni color schemes seem a little bland compared to the multi color later ones (although I sympathize with your Ferrari lookalike scheme). My favorite color scheme is the one my vintage, still under 10,000 miles stock RF900R: Purple, yellow and grey. These Suzuki color scheme involving multi colors are just a masterpiece of design, as far as I'm concerned. I posted you 2 years ago for the first time when I bought my RF with only a bit over 5,000 miles from the first owner. Ever since I've been keeping very good care of it, keeping it perfectly serviced & polished. It's presently taking it's winter sleep on my underground garage parking space. I still did not manage to surpass my 2023 speed record, on a straight & flat stretch of German Autobahn on a warm & sunny summer day of real 162 mph (173 mph speedometer). Only stock change on my RF is a touring wind shield, as the original is practically useless at German Autobahn speeds 😉 I love the RF900R, my forever favorite & in my view most beautiful bike ever!

The throttle bodies need to sync at idle and then the "pull" needs to be synched (when you open the throttle *slowly*.) Seems like there is another video coming I hope? If I get this bike this will be my first EFI so if this is a dumb question please forgive. I would have loved to see you reassemble the tank, mounting bracket and the tupperware. Thank you for this video. It is really appreciated.

My only comment is that you have added a gear but lost gear ratio, I’ve done the maths and you’re going to be 12mph slower at top end in 6th compared to top end in 5th of original gearbox and slower everywhere else too, if the ratios made sense then I’d love a 6th gear but the ratios don’t add up to give you a faster smoother ride :( so sad when I did the maths and your 5th and 6th gear are now essentially what your old 4th gear was like Love your videos but this is a bad idea

Not the turbo seca! 😰 i knew that one was gonna be on the chopping block haha. Your collection of bikes is incredible, and so is the care and work you put into them. Do you have a number in your head for the seca? Just curious what one of this condition would go for. Im getting extremely close to the first start of my turbo seca, waiting on petcock parts. I'm still so thankful for your mini series on that bike. It has been a big help, and will be so helpful to easily figure out where every fuel line and vaccuum hose goes when its time to throw the carbs back on. The diagrams just arnt as good as a video! I hope to be able to do the same for others when i get mine runnning. Appreciate ya!
