Thanks for the advice. I need to get some heat in my garage because I’m dying to play with it.

I’ve had several 89 gsxr’s and all seem to run best with the stock air box. A tuner told me it has something to do with the sling shot having a shorter stroke motor? Not really sure. I know my current 89 is running a stage 3 jet kit and full Vance and Hines race pipe with K&N filters. It has a small flat spot at low RPM’s that I can never tune out? Good luck with the bike, the old oil coolers never let me down!!!!

I was thinking the same. I’ll just try to get it back to stock. THanks for your advice. I know next to nothing about these, other than they look cool. I like your idea – the airbox will get whacked this weekend. I did determine that the battery cables were just corroded and now I get guage lights and taillights (and some response when I pull the brakes). I agree – it seems like the clutch switch or neutral sensor is whacked.
