Well I have just bought my new bike today off Trademe, well I don't own it yet nor have posession of the bike. But anyway I head down to Upper Hutt tomorow to hand over the cash, sign paper work and then ride home on a 05 Honda VTR1000.

When I have bike I will then be able to go flat hunting as it sucks having no transport.

Looks nice (and slightly familiar). I didn't see you on the track did I?

[Elysium]

Looks nice (and slightly familiar). I didn't see you on the track did I?

Nope. I came back on the main Highway. Only problem I have is the right baffle is hard to get in and out because it's bloody tight so have to make sure I align the baffle nut and muffler hole right.

[NZsarge]

Well boys and girls, here she is. Removed the baffles when I got home and shit! they're loud!

Nice ride mate. only one problem though, you missed the perfect opportunity to buy a Kawasaki/Yamaha. :yes: :laugh:

The point is personalization, customization etc, some of the cans on modern bike are pretty horrendous, but as always each to their own


..........

[Elysium]

Because Yamaha are too expensive and Kawas just fall to bits. :laugh:

[NZsarge]

You have to pay for quality, nothing new there.

Nah, ended up having a chin wag at Anza's, talkin' to the guy who bought that Aprilia RSV Factory from AFC.

[Elysium]

Sorry when I hear "Kawasaki" a certain green machine from Ashurst comes to mind.

Your old Yamy still there?

[banditrider]

Nah, ended up having a chin wag at Anza's, talkin' to the guy who bought that Aprilia RSV Factory from AFC.

Went in there myself this morning. Looked at pants, gloves and other things. Never got a peep out of anyone, walked out without buying anything...

Saw the Aprilia out and about too and another one somewhere during my pootle. A lot of bikes out and about today.

http://banditrider.blogspot.com/2009/07/out-and-about.html

[NZsarge]

Your old Yamy still there?

Yep, Winton said he's had a few interested but nobody has antied up yet.

[Elysium]

There were a lot of bikes out today as the weather cleared up. Had a quick chat to a Ducati 1098 rider who was on his way to Taupo and I wondered if he as comfortable on that hard looking seat.

[Flynn]

[KiwiKat]

Someone is spending too much time at home. All going sweet with Sophie and mum? Has she spewed down your collar yet? It's a moment you never forget.

That Aprillia is one mint bike.:Punk: But too much for me. If the weather holds I will be heading down to Otaki in the morning. Life is a changing....

hmm If you head to Otaki you have gone to far .. Charity ride is starting from Fatboys .. which is at the back of Cobb & co Levin (just south of the second set of lights)

[Elysium]

Nah, ended up having a chin wag at Anza's, talkin' to the guy who bought that Aprilia RSV Factory from AFC.

Didn't see you about, but that seemed to be the flavour of the day. I saw this dude wave out on Fairs Rd and thought, "Does this person know me?" Turned out to be cowboyz:Oops:, so I had to turn around, as you do.

I did get that compressor today and it actually fitted in the car. Quite a heavy little sucker though.:blink:

Sorry I missed you today Al, I was my obligitory 10 minutes late but had me a coffee and a bite to eat at Moxxies then went up to Anza's to see what's what and ran into Kevin (South African guy from here in Vegas, rides a Bandit, he's the guy who made his own muffler and luggage rack out of stainless steel) after I got through perving at the new Volkswagen Sirrocco and anniversary edition Audi Q7 V8 tdi at Z-ONE I went back over to Anza's and caught up with Kevin and Andrew then the guy on the Aprilia turned up and we talked to him for quite a while.
Jumped on the bike, and headed back home, pleasant day for an outing on the bike I must say.
Since I did'nt get to see Transformers last weekend I might try again sometime today, Meanie reckons it's good for a laugh and really needs to be seen on the big screen to get the most out of it so that's good enough for me.

[Elysium]

Very nice ride Elysium and yes, I was out and about town this arvo looking for Sarge:yes: Where were you?



Yeah just at the lights outside of Countdown Rangi. Saw a Speed Triple with small custom pipes that looked like yours.

[Flynn]

Someone is spending too much time at home. All going sweet with Sophia and mum? Has she spewed down your collar yet? It's a moment you never forget.

Mum and Bub are fine, anyone know where to sell a two year old? I think I'll start with trademe, after the last two nights I think I'll v\have to pay some one to take her away. Friday night she would go to bed till 3am up at 9am. Last night up from 3am-5am:argh::argh::argh::wacko::eek5:

[Owl]

Sorry I missed you today Al

No worries Sarge. It was late and just taking a punt that you'd still be around.
I wasn't in the mood for going open road and really enjoyed pootling around town.
I hadn't started my bike for 2 weeks, so it was a good time to test the battery with a multi-meter and see how it would start. Reading 12.76v and it started mint, so positive that's now sorted!:sweatdrop

Yeah I went through there on the way to George St, so it was no doubt me.:yes:

[NZsarge]

Sweet as, better see it on the big screen though I reckon, was the theatre packed?
Plenty of action and decent effect always adds up to reasonable entertainment I reckon.

[Owl]

It was the hat that threw me!:msn-wink:......................:laugh:

[Owl]

How's that tyre thingy coming along cowboyz? I'm getting close to needing a front, either PP or PR2.
This will be first time I woud've ever chewed out a front quicker than a rear. That PR2 rear is now at 8500km!

[yod]

That PR2 rear is now at 8500km!

so is mine, and still going strong!

front is only about 4000 and still looks mint....the bird seems very easy on them

[cowboyz]

sweet. gonna have more info on that this arvo hopefully. got a few things to sort out will get back to you on that.

[Owl]

Love the PR2, though it's getting down, but still hasn't squared! My front is a BT-016 and chewed out pretty bloody quick.


sweet. gonna have more info on that this arvo hopefully. got a few things to sort out will get back to you on that.

Good shit!:niceone:

[86GSXR]

Tyre thingy? I have an old Gixxer that needs a tyre thingy :scooter:

[banditrider]

For you trike lovers out there:

[Elysium]

ow one problem with this bike is that no manual came with the bike so I have to find what everything does. Is it normal to sometimes hear a popping sound when using the throttle? I adsume its related to the carbs?

[cowboyz]

thats nothing to worry about. Its the normal honda sound of the engine bolts hitting the ground. It is the plastic they are made of that makes them sound like that.

[Elysium]

Well new bike for me so just need to know what noises are normal and what to expect. Also my first bike with carbs.

[cowboyz]

ok. just cause its you I will put the honda pisstaking on hold for 5 mins. Is the popping on acceleration or on closing the throttle?

[Elysium]

ok. just cause its you I will put the honda pisstaking on hold for 5 mins. Is the popping on acceleration or on closing the throttle?
Well it sounds like a small popping/backfire sound. But it didn't happen very often and lasted only a second. I mean it sorter splutters when it's starting to warm up and the engine sound becomes smoother when the temp goes up. It happened a couple of times when I changed from second to first and blip the throttle while using clutch.

I should get the bike checked out by a bike shop anyway so they can have a good look over the bike so there aint no hidden surprises. Just might wait till I have the money and time.

[cowboyz]

sounds like a bit of a service wouldnt go amiss. air leak or balance carbs? Sounds like one of those problems that have to gothrough the basics and double check everything.

[Elysium]

Yeah bike has roughly 20,000 on the clock so no surprise if niggly things like this crop up. One thing I should check when I get money is have the CCTs looked at. They usauly get replaced at that amount of KMs I think.

[KiwiKat]

Um just a thought, maybe condensation in the tank / fuel line. It will evaporate when engine is hot and be more noticeable when throttle is blipped. 20000km isn't much on a modern bike.

[Owl]

ow one problem with this bike is that no manual came with the bike so I have to find what everything does. Is it normal to sometimes hear a popping sound when using the throttle? I adsume its related to the carbs?


Removed the baffles when I got home and shit! they're loud! Kinda don't see the point in after-market mufflers.

Did the problem exist on the journey home before you removed the baffles?

[Elysium]

He he or it could be me not riding it right :D

Did the problem exist on the journey home before you removed the baffles?
Yes. Though I think Cowboyz might be right in saying the bike might need a clean/look/service somewhere as it only happened a few times throughout the journey.

[Switch]

He he or it could be me not riding it right :D

Yes. Though I think Cowboyz might be right in saying the bike might need a clean/look/service somewhere as it only happened a few times throughout the journey.

You lucky bugger, im very jealous. I've been wanting to get a vtr for a while now, just cant afford to upgrade.

Its not the bike on overrun is it? bit of petrol getting in the pipes?

The CCT's arn't too hard to replace, but have heard they are a soft spot on the vtr. Pretty noisy, so you will tell when you need to replace them ;)
Congrats on the purchase :woohoo:

[slydesigns]

VTR's have Carbs?? Thats prehistoric!

[cowboyz]

carbs rock! I got 4 of them!

[banditrider]

ow one problem with this bike is that no manual came with the bike so I have to find what everything does. Is it normal to sometimes hear a popping sound when using the throttle? I adsume its related to the carbs?

Baffles out I'd say on the overrun you may get it as the bike had the baffles in when you got it so is probably not setup for no baffles. A little crackle on overrun is enjoyable! Shouldn't be popping & farting on the gas...

At very low revs (say pootling up to a red light) changing down from 2nd to first mine will sometimes give a little back fire too and very occasionally stall. I think it's a big twin thing - takes a bit of momentum to keep the big slugs going up & down.

Re Cam-chain tensioner: a weak spot on most Hondas but unless it's been absolutely thrashed your should be ok at 20k.

I have a workshop manual on PDF somewhere...

[Elysium]

Ok had another ride this evening and no problems. It did splutter a few times while the engine was warming up when I gently rev the throttle when temp got up but engine an smoothly after that. Yeah it does sorta splutters a bit when changing from secong to first like you said Banditrider.

I just have to get used to the old Carb system. :scooter:

VTR's have Carbs?? Thats prehistoric!
That's what gives the VTR its flavour.

I let mine warm up on choke until the temp gauge starts reading (35 degrees on mine) and then just head off quietly (3,000 revs tops) up the road until she's warmed up properly. Apparently as they get older the chokes work their way off while they're sitting there rather than staying out. Mine's ok but my mate's one does this.

And who said triumph riders were tough

Like the new control, much better with the on off button

[Owl]

Sweet, must get some for the Honda...

That new controller is pretty cool and "clicks" on/off, so no need to hold buttons down.
I'm not totally sold on the knurling grips, but I guess I'll get use to them. Fitting the throttle grip was a bloody mission and required a stanley knife, file, P80-P180 sandpaper, lots of sanding and hair spray. The supplied glue was useless on that side and set before the grip was on two inches.:angry2:

Sam also fixed my old leather jacket (for free), so it's looking for a good home. I'd prefer it to go to a poor struggling local KBer that needs some gear. Better to get some use than sitting here doing nothing!

Tracy also has an old jacket that needs a home. Bloody nice jacket actually with sheepskin liner, but a tad small and suitable for size 10-12 apparently.:shit: Looking at it, I'd have thought it would fit a 6 year old.:laugh:

Neither jacket has armour!:no:

Been a bit preoccupied. Some of you have heard seen me mention that our daughter Amanda (17) is flying out to Germany next Friday to work with a very nice family for 12+ months. An awesome experience but bloody scary. :headbang: So we are off to AK Tuesday for a few family days. It's going to be one Freaky Friday. Hopefully we will get some good weather.

My first bike was a 79 XL 250 (kinda wish I still had it)

[ynot slow]

Second bike in 1982 it was an XR200 1980 model,was used as farm bike mostly by owners son,then the cockie got pissed off with his son so traded it for a CT110.

Only useless thing was lighting kit,eventually shat itself,so they rigged up a battery system in the bag behind the seat.

Then swapped it for an IT175,power band was fun.

[86GSXR]

Have the day off tomorrow so may be up for a meeting of the GLC........

The IT175 supposedly had power to weight ratio which was the best in the class at the time.A guy I knew used to be in top 10 motox in NZsponsored by Hawera motorcycles way back in 1980's,his weapon of choice was YZ 125 and 250 for a while,then he went to the 465cc,only he shoehorned it into a IT 250 frame later on,was road legal and he had fun dragging other mates road bikes,he took it down the quarter mile drags,not to fast as he spent 300mts on rear wheel to show off.
