You know your roads! The GT is my favorite bike of all time. It isn't going anywhere but it does get a break from time to time ;-)

I remember the break-in oil on my GT having a significant amount of metal in it. So did the second. Every oil change after that, aside from the oil being slightly darker, it has been metal free. Is that because of proper break-in? Perhaps. This bike has seen 7-8k RPM. I just don't want to start bouncing it off the limiter just yet ;-) The bike is a load of fun. Coming from a liter bike I thought that I would want for more power but I don't. Its fun enough and the twin provide so much usable power even when limited at 4,500 RPM... I can't wait to get the rest of the range. What I have experienced of it's power band is encouraging.

I absolutely love my GSX-S1000GT+. LOVE. I can't get enough. It is a sport bike if you want it to be. A touring bike if not. Or both at the same time. With a tune and full exhaust it is a beast! Do you have a channel or IG? Where have you toured through?

The ZOOM H1 Essentials was wrapped in a rag and stuffed under the passenger seat.

Thanks for watching and the compliment. 😅

This road is known as FM51. It is between Granbury and Glen Rose in Hood County.

@@FullThrottleExistentialist thx!

Gracias!

Thank you. It was.

Thank you! I'll bring my ZOOM recorder along next time.

Damn rain! I hope you've had a chance to ride since. Thanks for the compliment and subscribing.

Thank you! Much appreciated!

I absolutely love listening to the engine through the Lextek full exhaust!

@@FullThrottleExistentialist I'm sure it pulls hard with full exhaust. From the factory, mine's pretty well restricted.

@@FrankBonessa It sure does!

I'm in the Vista area. Riding in San Diego, Palomar, Borrego, and outside of LA.

It is the +. The bags aren't installed but you can see that their brackets are. Enjoy!

I only had the slip on Arrow silencer. I switched to a full Lextek exhaust instead. It's not as loud as the M4, I think, and it doesn't melt the bags.

@@FullThrottleExistentialistdidn’t have to get a tune after installing the lextek

@@stevensoldano2763 Supposedly, no tune is required. However, to truly get full potential, a tune is highly recommended. Aside from the power improvement, the throttle response improvement is truly what made a difference.

@@FullThrottleExistentialist so tune isn’t 100% necessary unless u want the full top speed of the bike. So I can just change exhaust the bike will still be super fast

I don't know about being "super fast" but I know that a tune isn't required but it is highly recommended.

Corners beautifully. I switched to a 55 profile rear tire and she drops in even quicker.

Tuned.

Next time!

In Texas?

@@valebliz yes.

Fjr is an old man's bike. Heavy and ugly.

I'll consider that if I'm in the market in the future. Thank you.

Sorry that I missed this message. I hope you got it all figured out now. The servo eliminator plug is under the tank. I left the servo in place and tucked the cables.

A little but not much. It was more of a change in the tone. It sounded a little deeper. It's the reason I upgraded to a full exhaust.

Shop around for insurance rates. I was quoted $5k per year by one company, $3k, $1k, and down to $0.8k. All of them with equal coverage above the minimums with collision. Progressive and Liberty Mutual gave me the best deals. I was deciding between this and a Hayabusa. The mix of sport and touring were key. It's a comfy tourer when you want it to be. A missile you do desire. Yet it retains the insurance categorisation of its docile personality.

@@FullThrottleExistentialist yeah I was quoted 1200 bucks a year and I just couldn't, I'm also still pretty young in my 20s so the insurance does love to have me pay for that haha but that's good to know, thank you for the response Im glad I subscribed you have nice clean content

@@nativeoutdoors1780 thank you... I'm my 20s it was a struggle to go to school, work, and play. I totally get it. Keep at it. And thanks for the compliment. Stay tuned for more content. I had the bike tuned last week. It's been insanely windy out here for over a week so the sound quality isn't what I want it to be. I'm working on a follow-up video of the exhaust plus the tune.

@@FullThrottleExistentialist sounds sweet man that gives me hope then, I gotta start saving haha

Great minds think alike! The GT has always gotten attention from people. The color, the styling, the fact that it is a sport touring bike... so much to love about it. But the exhaust seems to truly be the one that captures people's hearts. There are two kids in my neighborhood that run out to ask me to rev it every time I pass by.

Where can I see your bike? I check your channel for videos... here's my IG: instagram.com/genxs1000gt/

Do you know where I can get this exhaust in the USA? I want it badly for my GT!

@@FullThrottleExistentialist Thanks! I got my system just waiting on some free time so I can install it.

It was between the GSX-S1000GT+ and the Busa for me. I chose the GSX due to much cheaper insurance and the inclusion of paniers. I do long rides occasionally and it is nice to quickly install the "bags" and go. Might still get the 'Busa, though...

@@FullThrottleExistentialist We only live once. Go for it!

@@jockojockoson9995 it's still a possibility. The GT needs a garage companion.

Hello, the full exhaust installed on my bike I purchased via a Facebook group for the GSX-S1000GT: facebook.com/groups/suzuki.gt.owners/ Paul H. is the designer. He's the one to ask about availability.

One does have to be cautious and hyper-sensitive about available traction.

I don't know. Sorry. They have the same engine and I suspect they share exhaust design. There may be a need to adapt the muffler mounting point but it shouldn't be difficult to do. I've since changed my exhaust to a full Lextek exhaust, by the way, and I'm thrilled with the results. Check out the exhaust in action here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpaUY5SOo56Aocksi=ZG1QAeg_og9Nk9UU

Life got in the way of the trip. However I did put in many hours on that seat. I think my longest ride with fuel stops, of course, was about 8 hours in one day. I left my keys at the beach. Take this with a grain of salt but I find the seat to be adequate. It could be that being a mountain biker I don't stay in one position long. I move forward and back inside to side often. It could also be that I have extra padding. I read the reviews and forum posts complaining of the seat. So I'm not discounting the fact that that is a possibility. I'm one of the fewer one of the only people that don't have a problem with the seat I suppose. As for the exhaust underload and full acceleration... And to make a long story even longer... I'll be reunited with my bike in the next few weeks. Though I plan to replace this exhaust with a full exhaust I'll do my best to record a clip of it before I remove it.

i have an airhawk pad plus have them gel padded bike shorts they help but not much i got a boney arse.but i can sit in my truck all day i wonder if there is a way to mount my truck seat on the bike lol

@@poppacapinya there's a company that makes a seat or redoes your seat. I'll try to find a post and I'll share it with you.

@@poppacapinya facebook.com/groups/suzuki.gt.owners/

@@poppacapinya Join this group. There, you can search for seats and just about anything to do with the bike. There are folks ordering and installing the GX seats and they seem to like them.

I am switching to full exhaust in the next few months. Stay tuned.

@@FullThrottleExistentialist I might do a de cat. Or headers, i am not sure yet.

Switch completed! Went with a Lextek full exhaust. No more meow. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGmloHygZ7h7mbc

Doesn't seem to affect the bag but I've added heat resistant material to the bottom to make sure.

Can you share details of the heat resistant material you added to the bags?

Thanks.

There was a chance of plans, unfortunately... More to come. Thanks for the compliments and thank you for asking.
