🧐 What is really inside a BSB Superstock GSXR1000🏁 | Knox Race GSXR1000 Episode 1 🔥

[@-DC-]

Had 5 GSXR''s over 20 years absolutely superb Motorcycles never had an issue with any of them in all that time.

[@jordanjoestar8839]

GSXR is always a world beater. Proven even in 2022 taking many wins in Super Stock1000 and even the Superbike racing. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Beating bikes that cost double. 2006 still holds the world's fastest OEM 0-60 of any road going motorcycle.

My factory s1000rr would destroy a 06 in everyway!

Here we go 🤧😷💨

[@David..]

They should do a race series where all you’re allowed to do is run a stock bike with the only exception being tires and different springs to accommodate different rider weights. Heck minimize engine and drivetrain changes as well because that’s a good measure of durability. Of course that would never happen but would be quite fun to watch.

[@moflyboyblanquito541]

Omg what is this color scheme 1:39 man that’s gorgeous.

[@lozadazx14]

Like the hi mount silencer 😍😍😍

[@Flying151]

Just that little part when the bike gets ridden into the garage.... Man that sound makes me think of my '99 750 with K5 headers and aftermarket can. It's funny how they have managed to keep that acoustic from the engine over all these years.

[@KnoxArmour]

Yes, gsxrs have a distinctive sound! Aaron Knox

[@gregsmith9470]

It's to do with stroke , they seem ta have slightly longer stroke compared to the other inline 4's

[@aldo5658]

Loved the content ! Glad I came across you 🎉

[@stevetee4145]

Excellent video. Very informative and interesting. Good luck to you and your team.

[@allenglishknives6823]

Love this video! Gives us all the info, very interesting indeed 👍🏻 Thanks.

[@KnoxArmour]

Thanks glad it was helpful. Thanks Aaron Knox

Happened across Episode 2 which I enjoyed but this video was really interesting cheers Ash! All the best for a great riding season ahead 👍👍

Love my 22 GSXR 1000 race bike and even more so with the Yosh ECU. Yeah there is no wheelie control in the Yosh base map and I hate the launch control on it. Don't forget to input your gearing and always change the tire diameters if you change tire brands cause it can really mess with the traction control. My FKR carts in the left leg unwinds the preload as you ride slowly, it's very annoying but it's usually never more than 3/4 of a turn per day so just keep an eye on that

[@KnoxArmour]

Thanks Jacob. Ill keep that in mind. There does need to be better instructions on the Yoshi ECU as its hard to find good information about it. Thanks, Aaron KNOX

[@JNOSNOW]

Yeah I hear the Woolwich flashes for the Yosh hardware is more using friendly for tuning BUT a lot of the MotoAmerica teams EM Pro tunes are surprisingly close to the base map that comes in it as far as traction control and other functions besides air/fuel stuff. Btw I loved the MK3 handroids so much I bought 3 pairs but the new ones missed the mark in fitment and feel. I'd buy more in the future if they were closer the old ones so hopefully I don't use these sets up before that happens. Have fun in that thing and whatever you do, do NOT trust that wheelie control with the Yosh cause it will let you 1 O'clock it if you're not careful

[@afrando9471]

I have a question about traction/slide control, if you have your slide control set on the yosh em pro does that then get increased with every level of TC you select on the dash? It's not the easiest of software to work out and there ain't no videos out there other then yours which may I add has been very helpful cheers

[@JNOSNOW]

As far as traction control modes they don't match up to the numbers exactly on the dash. I think the dash has like 5 or 6 numbered setting for oem and the EMPro uses 6 but they are not linear settings they are just in order and you can set up each one but they come dialed in already.

[@corinful]

Thoroughly enjoyable and informative video 👍👍

[@KnoxArmour]

Thanks glad you think so. Aaron Knox

[@chrisjohnson120]

Really great video, love the details!

[@KnoxArmour]

Thanks glad you think so!!

[@davidackemann9380]

Absolutely great video. would love to see more of this... especially because I have the same bike. Like the way you explain all this stuff :)

[@KnoxArmour]

Many thanks, more to come! Aaron KNOX

[@danielbrown6924]

Looking forward to this series, you have been on the same bikes as me, I upgraded from K9 750 to a L7! Both have been though MSG and Gav worked his magic on them! Look forward to watching the process!

[@KnoxArmour]

Thats cool! How are you getting in jumping from the 750 to the 1000?. Gavin is 2nd to none in expertise on these, thats who we use for any advice and parts... Aaron Knox

[@danielbrown6924]

@@KnoxArmour At first it was unrideable due to a bad map and suspension not set up. Getting used to power difference and wheelies will take some time to get used to I think! 🥴 But after Gav has put a MSG map on it and set the suspension up, it's night and day difference. I just need time in the seat and ready to enjoy some trackdays next year now!

[@KnoxArmour]

@@danielbrown6924 yes think thats it, time on the bike. Its a different type of rising than the 750 with the wheelies and raw power as you say. 😀

[@yakovnikolaevioch]

great mods, question with the yoshi throttle kit did you get custom cable lengths? bought the kit on the back of the vid but the oe length is too short. any details on custom cables will help or did you route them alternatively inside the bike to gain a couple extra cm's

[@ajv802]

Awesome video mate, top notch cheers!

[@chessaddler]

Can you please tell me where can I get the seat and that wedge that’s coming off the rear seat cowl.

[@cgbikes2651]

Really good to see an in depth video! Definitely let us all know how it goes this year!

[@KnoxArmour]

Many thanks. First ride review (from Portimao) coming next week. Aaron KNOX

[@cgbikes2651]

@@KnoxArmour looking forward to it! Should be a more exciting version of our 899 tri options bike 😂

[@King88_8]

That exhaust looks like it's out of a 90s catalogue 😉 Taking delivery of my first GSXR next weekend. Always been a Honda guy, was going for the S1000RR then decided against it and will stick with Japanese. Just want to fuel it and ride. No fandangled electronic that needs a SpaceX technician to sort.

Its retro!! 😂

Thanks Cecil. Ive ridden it now at Portimao and it was simply fantastic! Such a shame they;ve canned the GSXR1000 now, but we'll still enjoy them for many years to come. Aaron KNOX

[@beverleynorth4914]

What top box can you put on it

[@scmcint]

Can you share any info about the race seat with bump stop / chock? Would love to duplicate that on my own GSXR1000R.

[@KnoxArmour]

Believe its from www.profibre.co.uk/. If you call them up they should be able to help. Thanks, Aaron KNOX

[@scoc253]

that exhaust styling look like that came from year 2007-2012

[@KnoxArmour]

Yeah it looks pretty retro, but its needed to pass the noise regs. 😀

[@martinpearce359]

Great in depth video, subscribed 👍

[@speedycommvagustacheshire8231]

Great video with interesting content. Look forward to see what you do with the bike as I can think of a couple of things. Has the 750 retired or just resting? Can't fault Knox products for innovation.

[@KnoxArmour]

Thanks a lot!! Probably one oflr 2 bits to complete it... oh and a better rider 😅. Not sure i can bring myself to sell the 750 tbh, proper sentimental about it! Aaron Knox

[@bruceleong9534]

Fantastic video. Great insights. Just subscribed.

[@KnoxArmour]

Thanks Bruce, welcome aboard 👍 Aaron Knox

[@tobiasjacobsen_dk]

Really a Trackday spec bike. But you make it Sound Good

[@KnoxArmour]

Lol. There's some trick track day bikes out there... 🤣

[@tobiasjacobsen_dk]

Yes. But that was not the point ….. except the ECU it is quite ordinary spec trackday bike (super stock) but you make it sound like a GP bike which is laughable

[@R32STE]

See you in portimao 🤪

[@neilrees1186]

Great bikes and both my bike been to gav at msg for remap ect great expertise from msg and only place I'd use.. excellent insite to superstock bike

[@michaelclyde3982]

Do you have the originally Arrow exhaust for sale I have the sister of that bike that I purchased of Darren

[@KnoxArmour]

Thats cool, met another lad in Portimao who had the other one! No, the team ran pipewerx as they were sponsored by them so just had the pipewerx one. Thanks Aaron Knox

[@prozeza]

What'll you do now that Suzuki have discontinued the Gixxer 1000 in the UK?

[@KnoxArmour]

Parts will still be available etc. Its a shame but won't stop us using it. For example my 750 is about 14 yr old, its still great and very serviceable even thoigh the 750 stopped being sold quite a few years ago. Thanks Aaron Knox

[@sicxdgixxd6326]

Just curious if all is true why does it have the key removal like I did to my gixer

[@sandodelalic4762]

Hello what kind of airfilter ?

[@KnoxArmour]

Its an MWR race air filter. Thanks, Aaron KNOX

[@alejandrotobienne8220]

You guys see the oil level in sight glass slightly above glass top for a reason. Oil demand. The crank when running is no where near being in an oil bath.

[@erinderind259]

suzuki still the best,, you are the suzuking,, 😀😀👍👍👍

[@martinpearce359]

The factory setting for the front forks is 16mm of fork above the top yoke. If you reduce it to 8mm it is much more stable. Cheap fix.

[@KnoxArmour]

Yes although Geoffs bike had that setting when the tank slapper crash happened. It's more of a case of crap shock and steering damper. Thanks Aaron Knox

[@bbb11293]

Very very nice, but it's not an Aprilia, I find the soundtrack can't be beaten.

[@clubstyleridahd4695]

Thats a huge slip on exhaust on it.

[@KnoxArmour]

Yes it is. But the only way to reduce the noise effectively for track day noise limits. Thanks, Aaron KNOX

[@clubstyleridahd4695]

@KnoxArmour Makes sense, I guess If its titanium its still light weight.

[@ljubott]

Coool 🏍👌😜💪💪 greetings 🖐

[@gerry343]

13:45 £450 for a cable? That's just commercial blackmail!

[@KnoxArmour]

Yes its mental! And you cant operate the ecu without it. 🤯

[@cirian75]

So its a BSB race bike, but with a stock motor with a stage 1

[@flamintasty]

No, it’s a Superstock bike that races in the BSB support races.

[@cirian75]

@@flamintasty That is not what I meant or said. For years people have assumed superstock bikes are road bikes that have been converted into race bikes with stage 1 exhaust on the engine and some suspension tuning. When in fact it turns out they are full fat from the ground up race bikes near identical to the superbikes, except for the fact that they are limited to a stage one engine remap and exhaust, and have to road run road legal tyres. This of course means they run in super stock, not superbike.

[@bobbyclark7423]

Dont see why they need a ex bsb race bike to test kit but however signed it off fair play

[@naranjalorange8584]

Why not?

[@P.DuncanMonk]

The bike is a GSXR, not a gixxer ! .

[@jeroenboree4510]

So it is a frame never used on the road, directly build-up for racing. It is still from the same assembly line as all Gixxer 1000's who are used on the road. Nothing special about that in my opinion. If it was a special one or custum made it would not be able to use as a "stock" racer, not even an Superbike. It might be strengthened that would be interesting to see! Never the less good luck with your racing plans.

[@KnoxArmour]

Yeah think i made that quite clear. The main point was that this never started as a showroom bike, it was built from the frame up to be a race bike within the regulations but with no road going compromises. Aaron KNOX

[@deanclark828]

Beast bikes, but that exhaust looks terrible

[@vasilisagrafiotis4045]

Too much of explaining for a stock bike...with exhaust and a log aim kit and a pair of suspension. Nothing Fancy at all....superstock as the word says...and 193 wheel power?🤣 Let's just laugh at that.. real at 185 maximum....and on a Superflow Dyno maybe. There are superstocks that have on them double the extras...with in the same rules.

[@constructivecriticism1011]

Nope not a Gixer dont care...

[@USAracing]

NO! That tank foam is not for stopping the tank from blowing up ! LOL 😂🤣 its anti sloshing foam to prevent weight transfer of the fuel when flicking the bike from left to right. I have it in all of my bikes.

[@KnoxArmour]

Sorry, it is right... lifted directly from the BSB Superstock regulations. "All fuel tanks must be completely filled with a fire retardant material (open celled mesh i.e. “Explososafe ®”)." Thanks, Aaron KNOX

Too bad no more Gixxers in WSBK. We have 4 of them here in Motoamerica
