My bike is a stock 2005 gsxr 1000 with 4000 miles on the clock. When I'm letting the clutch out when leaving a from a stop at about 1500-2000rpms the bike's rpm will drop slightly and try to stall even though I'm increasing the throttle postion while letting out the clutch. Once the bike is out of that rpm range is runs like a champ. It started having this issue at about 3000 miles. I took it to the dealer and they hooked it to the computer and it shows no monitored problems, on the charts you could see where the rpm dropped in that range when the throttle was actually increasing. Has anyone else seen or heard about this issue? This is my third GSXR 1000 and I've never had any other issues with past bikes.

Late to the party, but hopefully others find it useful. This is a known problem in early models of the 05 gixxer thou. It is a bad clutch washer plate. It is a relatively simple fix with the right tools and the right part. Goto gixxer.com and in the GSXR1000 forum, it is a sticky thread called clutch mod.

Same exact thing happened to me at about 6K miles. Got so bad, I had to do something about it. Found out I wasn't alone. The replacement is actually an OEM part on a 750.
