New guy with my 1st 99 SH!
Well I finally got one after a to long of wait...Got it Thursday..99 Superchicken thats in mint shape w/ StainTune exhaust thats made in Australia....Sound it awesome! I am in love with this bike! What a blast to ride I have had soooo many bikes in my past and this is my favorite! The only complaint is it tends to sputter in top gear around 60-70mph cruising? Other than that it runs awesome...jetting I guess? never the less...Luv it! Would like to find a seat cowl for it..

Hi and welcome.
That sputter should be fixable with a little TLC on the carb. Love the Staintune that never needs repacking.
Would you consider painting your bike red for a little more speed?

Funny you say that! I did paint it RED.....But the damb paint just runs off when I hit Mach Speed and that YELLOW just keeps staying on!??

Yes! Very awesome sound mate! LOL... Well the more I have been riding it the stumble has gone away. Love it! Just needed wound up! I can't get over how I just want to stay on 1 wheel all the time. Hehehe!

I love Staintunes! I had a set on my Y2K RC51. Those pipes are so loud! Like f'n thunder!
Your stumble is probably poor jetting. Those pipes breathe extremely free. Had the same issue with my Yoshimura set.
Congrats on the bike. I love that old school Gixxer. I have old school too.

Found a new toy! See what owning a Superhawk will get you sooner or later. For me sooner! LOL.... 04 Honda RC51 Nicky Haden replica. Has Sato full Titanium high mount race exhaust, Sato rearsets, Scott dampener, Pazzo levers, Powercomander...ect... It's a monster!

Very nice!
Before I bought my Superhawk, I sat on an RC51 in the dealer showroom. I figured I'd last no more than 30 minutes in the saddle with the riding position. It was only about $500 more, list, in 2005, so I could have bought it, no problem. But as a 2nd bike now, if I could afford it, I'd jump at the chance. Lucky you!
Around here I see about as many RC's as Superhawks, and that totals about 20 in the last 6 years.
