[MidnightMike]

Man that ride was FUN. Great to follow you experienced guys around a bit and have a yack and steal your secret riding tricks. I might have to take the week off so I can go riding more. Hope it's less windy though.



Yea, that wind was a, hmmm experience? :rofl:

Glad i managed to use my famous 'safe' gorge overtaking manevours to get in front of that hyobag. :dodge:

Anyway, taking tomorrow off. bikes going into Strada then depending on how long it takes to do everything I'll more than likely be going for a ride.

Cheers Glen for taking the vid, was a good ride :yes:
Thank for leaving all the shots of you passing me out :Pokey:

[mark247]

Got the FZR today, arrgh, i paid $1650 for it in the end. Its really hard to start, even more now that its been on the trailer for hours, so i think its fowled. Fork seals need doing, and a number of small other things. I think im just going to take it into the shop and say "hey get it going."

I had a wee ride of it when i picked it up, once it was going it went fine, i just cant get it going now, arrgH!

There's no excuse for you guys to miss this (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=51164) thread.

[mark247]

I think everyone here should disconnect their clutch cables and go for a ride through town. It really teaches you to look ahead at intersections to make sure there are no cars coming so you can get through without stopping. Because everytime you stop you have to push start it again, even if you get it into nuetral. It's a good skill to have! :scooter:

It's just a tad enbarrising leaving the petrol station pushing ya bike, but Waylander already knows all about that, it's second nature to him.

[MotoGirl]

Looks like everyone from Tauranga buggered off for the weekend...

Can you blame them?
And not everyone, Darrel is still floating around. As is Glen.

What time are you planning on leaving Tauranga Chris. I'll be in Whakatane on Sunday morning (pending the weather) and will ride through your lovely city on my way up - Can meet you guys somewhere.

R

[BarBender]

Not positive at this stage mate. What time would be idea for us to be at Meremere Rona?
I'm guessing it would only take 1h30min to get there from Tauranga.
Would meet at The Summit

The gates open at 10am and scrutineering will be between 10:30am-12:30am for those who intend to race.
So Id probably leave T-City no later than 9am.

Its $25 entry +gate fee. The track will be open for practice at 11am so there will be plenty of time to get your runs in.

[BarBender]

Hey folks - its just started raining up here.
Theres no wind so I'm guessing it'll settle in.
OK for a wet ride if you have the rubber for it...but not ideal conditions to be launching 180 horses out the back wheel over a 1/4 mile.

On that note I'm gonna hang my one piece up, go back to bed and catch a movie with the kids later this morning.

[Idrumm]

Yeah Mate, just spoke to Korn, he's just gone past the auto barn on the southern motoway, wheathers settled in alright.

I more than likely will be. Bike isn't running on all the cylinders at the moment. (still need to clean or replace the sparkplugs) And after the last couple of long days at work and longer nights in the garage I'm looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow.

[Cajun]

unplug the sparkplug lead

how else

[Waylander]

unplug the sparkplug lead

how else
Thought so. Just wanted to make sure. Would suck to blow up my bike just when I got it back.

[Matt_TG]

Waylander's got a suspected missing cylinder, most likely spark plug related, and wants to find out which one it is. On cars I would get her running then pull and replace each plug cap in turn until I find what one makes no difference to the running and there's the faulty one.

It's difficult to do that on the bike due to their position, so can he discon all plugs, then one at a time take a plug out, reconnct it to the HT lead and hold it against the head to check them sequentially? Will it harm the bike (I wouldn't think so)?

[Waylander]

....spray water onto the headers to see which one won't burn the water off is another way.



Off to do my hair and look pretty.
See y'all at Barkes Corner at 9:30
Except that the rear hearders are inacessable and the front headers are dual piped (the outside pipe is just for show) Could put my hand on those after the party last night. Some warmth but couldn't tell if they were firing or not. I do think it is the right rear cylinder. But my fucking socket is stuck now and I can't get the damn thing out to get the plug out....

[mark247]

Good god what have you done now...

Get another spark plug ( any one will do ) and just take the cap off one of the bike plugs and put the other spark plug in it and rest it against the frame and just turn make it turn over.. you can unplug all the plugs so the bike doesnt fire if you want

[spookytooth]

try taking plugs out after running it the one thats wet will be guilty

a few of us had there moments,(all turned out good)
great ride
BIG thanks mate :rockon:

Thnks Matt for the help with the bike this morning aswell as the lift to the pub.

THnks Ian for the ride back. Uh, was one of those frighteningly fun experiances. A bit like a roller coaster at twice the speed. THat beast of yours can boogie.

Jim mate thanks for the help getting the bike home. Pulling the air box off at the moment (yup gonna be another late nigh...) to see if I can get to the front coils to check them and see how hard they are to replace if need be.
If it's not to hard then I'll just get the part and do it myself, otherwise bcak to Strada it goes and I don't get it back till it runs perfectly again.

For those that don't know, the right front cylinder is the one that wasn't firing. THought I might be able to make it over to the pub and back but because of the cyclindernot firing I had to keep the revs way up for less thn half the power it usually has so burned all the gas (except for the amount that was just being puhed outthe pipes. Smell good aya Matt? lol)
Just before the turn off to the pub.

What makes you think it's the coil? Usually if a coil is about to die they still work for a little while until they get warm ( takes a few minutes or something ) then the cylinder starts to miss. Could be a faultly connection? Do you actually have no spark at all on that cylinder?

no worrys bud, hope you get that problem sorted soon.
hope the ride wasent to rough for you.:shit:

[Matt_TG]

No worries Waylander, it was a gas ... quite literally lol. Hope the farmer didn't treat your bike too badly parked at his place.

There's no spark and an oiled up plug at right front cylinder. We put another plug in but still no spark, swapped over the connector at the end of the lead and still no joy. So, it's either the lead itself or the coil, it's just that it was getting on a bit and too late this morning to pull off the airbox to get to the coil.

CX's are easier to work on I tell ya heh.

[Ralph]

At the risk of sounding stupid I thought bikes just have one coil like a car?
Point is if there is one and your've got a spark at one cyclinder but not the other then I would doupt there's any problem with the coil.
If you've replaced the plug and still no spark then possibly it's the lead?

I can give the lead a small test for you if you like to try and rule it out,
or swap them and see if the problem moves to the other cylinder.

[mark247]

At the risk of sounding stupid I thought bikes just have one coil like a car?

Some bikes have a coil for each cylinder, some have a coil for every two cylinders, so i guess some might just have one coil. It really depends. Why dont you get the coil off one of the other cylinders and swap it with the one one the cylinder that isnt working?

If it doesnt have spark still, then rule out the coil.

Then try the same thing with the HT Lead.

ALSO, make sure everything is plugged in correctly, like the + and - into the coil, it could just be a faulty connection.

[Idrumm]

Yep keen for a scoot, think bb2s taking one of his bikes over.

[DingDong]

Waylander... I think you need some help.

Testing plugs (or just buy a new set)

Remove a plug, re connect to the lead, rest the plug tread against the cylinder head and turn the bike over... it should spark, if not try a different plug until you find one that does spark. Then alernately try each plug on the lead that works... they should all be the same.

Testing the leads/ coils (you should have 2 coils therefore if you suspect a coil you will have 2 cylinders not working... not just 1)

With a spark plug that works check each lead, if you have only 1 lead that doesnt work it'll be the lead thats the problem (hope you have replaceable leads), if you have two leads that wont work, the coil is the problem.

This is in a perfect world of coarse...

Because you had strada do work on your bike recently they could have fucked something up... you shouldnt take your bike to those guys they're usless and dont know shit about bikes.

If your bike idles OK but misses when you rev it your bike might not be producing enough charge for the plugs to fire correctly making it miss and foul plugs.

Get a multimeter ( you've done this before, or Mark did it 4 you) check the voltage at the battery with the bike off (11 - 12v), then with the bike running at idle (12-13v) then at say 5000rpm (13-14v) if it aint charging properly strada have done something wrong (is'nt that what you had them working on?)

The most common cause of a cold header is a fouled plug... which is caused by a shit spark... or fucked up valves, but we wont go there...

If you think Strada have done something wrong give them a call and ask them to fix it... they have a legal obligation to do so if they're at fault.
If your not sure dont take it back to them, give them a call to say you think they've made an error and give them the oportunity to fix it, if they refuse thell them you will take it to another repairer to asses what the fault is and to fix it. If you new mechanic says they fucked up then strada must pay for the repairs. The key thing is that you must give Strada a chance to put it right before you go ahead a fix it.

Hope I'm on the right track... but more info is better than none, GOOD LUCK WITH THAT MAN!

[DingDong]

oh and Jacob... dont ride any bike thats not running on all cylinders unless you really have to and dont rev/load it too hard... it puts undue forces on the crank and can lead to major damage... pushing and pulling dead wieght "pillion piston"

[Waylander]

The only thing strada did was pull the flywheel off and replace it and the starter clutch. That's it. They should not have been anywhere near anything else. More so because I did a bit of the work for them in draining the oil, getting the cover off and also put it back together after they replaced the bits.

And my manual shows four starting coils. #1 & #3 at the back under the seat. #2 & #4 at the front under the airbox next to the carbs.
Gonna try swapping the uspected foul one out for one of the rear cylinders and see if the problem follows as suggested. But that is after I do that with the leads. And they are replaceable and easy to get off and on if not easy to get too.

Instead of swapping just the coil around, just swap the entire thing ( Coil, HT Head, and plug cover, even the plug ) Because then you can narrow it down from there. Well thats what i would do...

Oh and do you want some help tonight? I got nothing to do and feel like working on a bike that actually needs working on.... ( sorry tom, if you read this, but your flywheel is going to be a BUGGER )

If you want to come around that's fine. And swapping the whole thing would tell me what I lready know. Something in there is broke. But by starting at the plug and working back I can figure out exctly what. Have done the plug in a different cylinder and the plug boot in a different cylinder.

[Matt_TG]

Most are saying what has been done and all ending up with the same conclusion.

We identified that it was the right front plug not firing, all the rest gave spark but not that. It's Italian looks gave it away too.. It wasn't firing when the engine was being turned over, or being revved. The header pipe remained cold. The battery appeared to be ok, or at least it was turning over with no problems, however ... I did notice your headlight was fairly dim when I was in front of you Waylander.

We then put a spare plug I had in it's place, held against the cylinder head and no spark. The spare plug sparked fine on the other HT leads, and we swapped out the boot that screws onto the HT lead and it was ok.

It is therefore the HT lead itself or the coil.

Each cylinder appears to have its own coil. That is there are two at the top rear of the engine, and two at the top front, beneath the airbox. The front two coils were hard enough to see, let alone getting anything near them.

On Sat morning it was getting too late to pull the airbox off and check the HT and other wiring to the coil, but that's what's needed to be done. Waylander knows what to do, it's just getting to it and swapping things out in order to eliminate what's good and identify what's no good.

Good luck mate!

Yup pretty much lol.And even though I've been home all day (sick) I've been the lazy bugger for the first time in a while and done next to nothing all day. (I did go get an enrolment form for the part time welding course at BOP polytech)

I am a bot worried bout my crank now from what Dingdong said but that's something that will have to wait untill I get all the cylinders fireing.

AS forwhat you said bout Strada Wyne mate, this is why I try not to tke my bike to shops. No matter wich one I go to someone will say bad things about them lol.

[DingDong]

Dont worry about your crank... I'll be cool, but it's something to keep in mind for next time.

4 coils is something I'm not familiar with, take the coils to an auto elec's to get them tested... will save you heaps of work and frustation (it'll only take them 5 minutes)

I'm off to Napier this weekend to get my track-day bike, it's only 125 but I'll sort that out with a 200cc implant for now and a 500 2stroke later.

hehehehe... I have photos but I'm not going to show anyone :yes: :shutup:

Isn't the power to weight ratio supposed to be the other way round lol lol lol heheheheheheheheheheheh :gob: :dodge: :innocent: :love:

Just got back from have a look at waylanders bike. ok, lets just say romoving the coil and getting to the ht lead is A LOT easier said than done on his bike....

we drained the coolant just so we could get a look at the coil, just to find out that there was the ignition in the way, so we move that, just to find that the HT cable is on the other side of the coil, which needs to be removed, but one of the screws is right up against the frame and near impossible to get at... :gob:

See!! What did I tell ya :shit:

[nodrog]

The only thing strada did was pull the flywheel off and replace it and the starter clutch. That's it. They should not have been anywhere near anything else. More so because I did a bit of the work for them in draining the oil, getting the cover off and also put it back together after they replaced the bits.

And my manual shows four starting coils. #1 & #3 at the back under the seat. #2 & #4 at the front under the airbox next to the carbs.

- G's been headhunted by YouTube to further their NZ division
- Darrell's avoiding wheelies and working on stoppies now.

Got my self a new motorcycle! FZR400R 1992 its 5kg lighter than marks one haha it will be running by the end of this week or next week..

[mark247]

You are looking at the wrong facts, that FZR400RR is 160kg dry ( single head light, ) the FZR400R ( your one with the double headlight but isnt indented ) is 165kg dry, and mine is, the FZR400 ( indented double headlights ) is 166kg dry.

Our bikes are nearly exactly the same. Yours has a slightly shorter stroke, and slightly more torque =S for some reason, beats me. I thought shorter stroke ment more torque?

Lets put it this way, they are so simular they have the exact same manual.

Although the one you got was said to be a 1992 it is actually a 1989. Fooled!

[EroSamnin]

Whoopdyfuckingdo. Oooool it's 5kg lighter! Eat some pies and what? oh you weigh 5kg more so it doesn't matter. Makes no difference cos you don't weigh exactly the same and don't have the exact same gear. imo. lol

A mate just bought a FZR400RR (says RR on it somewhere so its faster) and we rode back from taupo after he picked it up. Had a ride of it and after being on the hyobag for my entire bike owning lifetime, it felt like I was an oversized spider monkey on a pocket bike. Shit that thing is fun though. I wouldn't have a licence after one day according to my calculations if I owned one. He's going to be at the pub tonight so you guys can all compare your FZRs if you have them there. fun!

Tom hasnt even picked his one up yet, and its engine is rooted ( will be a few weeks ) and well, i dont want another $400 fine ( im at $800 and counting, i can get let off $400 when i get my exemption ) so i tink im going to wait until i get my exemption to ride mine =P The LTSA called to tell me that i was accepted with my new exemption, just gotta wait for the piece of paper in the mail!

[EroSamnin]

fun! your "I'm to tall to ride a 250 so have to ride a 400 thats actually smaller than sams 250!" exemption. Hahaha. See you tonight.

They better have the kitchen going cos I want a steak or a burger cos I predict that I'm going to be hungry.
