(thanks to Glenn, Brian and Sable at Santa Rosa Powersports 707 545-1606 for the use of one of their gsxr1000's for install pictures.

Disclaimer
This is a rough idea of the install concept - they are by no means totally inclusive of every item that should be checked. If you don't have a Genuine Suzuki Shop Manual for all the proper warnings, don't attempt this, if you have any doubts, don't do this. If this violates any emissions laws in your state, step away from the bike.

You MUST have a Genuine Suzuki Service Manual for this bike.

Tools and supplies:
Thread locking compound (mild)
Normal metric hand tools
a 7" to 9" #2 Phillips screwdriver
Allen wrenches, 4mm and 5mm, 3/8" drive
Torque wrench
Genuine Suzuki Service Manual

we took the tank completely off for pictures.
Remove all of the airbox screws (including the one in the middle!)

To get under the tank, if there is a "normal" and a "long" screwdriver #2 Phillips length, this will take a "medium". About 8 inches or a 1/4" drive #2 Phillips driver. 3/8" allen socket is too big of a diameter for the airbox hole.

Unscrew the 6 stock velocity stack mounting screws. Lift out the stock velocity stacks.

DOUBLE CHECK THAT YOU DID NOT DROP ANYTHING INTO THE THROTTLE BODY BORES.

If you put a rag or ?? to cover the bore of the throttle bodies - MAKE SURE YOU TAKE IT BACK OUT or the throttle WILL stick wide open.
