On the plus side, you get to do lots of test riding. :woohoo:

[specter]

went for a nice ride yesterday... sandon-halcombe road loop followed by a ride int ashhurst to see cowboyz, then a quick ride through the gorge and back over the track!

the only bad part was when i nearly hit a xr8 ute at the crest of a hill through ballance because he was doing a 3 point turn.... i could only just get past him with inches to spare :mad:

it was good to see you drop in with your mate and offer your expert diaganosis on the TT. 6x "It dont go" it much more conclusive than 4x "It dont go"

[slydesigns]

reminds me... I have to come round and point out your TT dont go...

[cowboyz]

huge thanks to bogan! Just been riding round on the TT! It Lives! Sorted out the timing issue and shes a minter. just at this stage you still need a support vehicle to start it................

Well done Bogan! To me that's the only thing it could have been other than something broken that we were'nt aware of, hard to keep a Yamaha down...

[cowboyz]

oh the other upside.. I rode it for like 5 mins and I havent fallen off it yet!

[bogan]

huge thanks to bogan! Just been riding round on the TT! It Lives! Sorted out the timing issue and shes a minter. just at this stage you still need a support vehicle to start it................

sweet as, always happy to save a bike from the scrap heap :D had some thoughts on the ride home. Firstly you got well lucky no valves were broken when it was being kicked/towed with the wrong timing :shit:! and I reckon the electrics could use a bit of a tune-up, could well be weak spark stopping it from starting easy, also maybe lube/tighten the throttle cables, that stuff will be easier than pulling the carb to bits again anyway.

[86GSXR]

Good stuff lads! Are you taking it on the Forgotton Highway then?

[specter]

an extra 10cm either way would of seen me in a ditch or rear ending him!

carb r easy to take apart, but suck when u lose the gasket and to fill it up with silicon :D


and HEY COWBOYZSZSZ u didnt tell me u get the TT

[bogan]

carb r easy to take apart, but suck when u lose the gasket and to fill it up with silicon :D


yeh I find the problem with carbs is I dunno how to tune em! clean em easy enough (cowboyz already cleaned them though) but I reckon there may be some stale fuel buildup in the jets which could be affecting the mix, trouble with that is you gotta acid bath it off, and trouble with that is the bike shops charge heaps to do it! I reckon it'll be spark anyways though.

hows the RG project going?

[TZR]

hey; new. just wondering is there organised ride to cold duck rally from palmy?

[chanceyy]

hey; new. just wondering is there organised ride to cold duck rally from palmy?

hey ya welcome to KB .. there are a few of us heading over .. I am going over on the friday morn and a few will be coming on sat .. can always set a meeting point & join in :)

[Bren]

Yup, I will be going early sat morning....

yep.. will have to get those ignition wires sorted. Oh and the throttle cable isnt actually conencted at the moment.. well not properly so could do with securing that.. its all good. its a yamaha!

pffft yamahas only need full throttle!

[cowboyz]

well! progressing! just started it without use of support vechile! Took about 15 mins of kicking it though.. NOW its time for some ether........................

[bogan]

pffft yamahas only need full throttle!

cos full throttle on a yamaha is the same as half open on a honda :lol:

well! progressing! just started it without use of support vechile! Took about 15 mins of kicking it though.. NOW its time for some ether........................

nice, possibly mess round with the air and idle screw of the carbs to make it start easier too, easier to do once its already running though...

[cowboyz]

that seems like work! I got video uploading at the moment of what happens with 1 spirt of ether up the air intake. FMS! Its getting easier and easier to start and ALOT less smoke which either means the oil that was spilt in there has burnt off or its just running out of oil.
just been to a blat over in the park. must attach seat! and fuel tank.. managed to lose both...

I do, but I have $3500 about to fall out my pocket from selling one of the cages.

Or maybe I have no taste? It is after all a sewing machine......albeit a cheap one.

Definately no taste to be honest. I do own a Morris Minor after all

95 ZXR250, 6speed, 42thousand ks, some bodywork damage, new back and pretty good front tyre, sold with new reg and wof, $3,500 as is (refering to bodywirk damage) is also a intermitent knock or ticking sound he reckons but I couldn't hear it when I rode it, I reckon its chain or cush drive (knackered anyway).

yeah anyone going to cold duck rally on the friday morning, im keen to ride with.

[ducatilover]

I would if I had a bike.....

Soooo, zxr or Bros650 with rgv usd front end and six piston callipers...twin brakes.....big noise......

Bogan, you have ruined me. I must go buy that Bros650....

[TZR]

<b>def bros.</b> look's mint. and rgv front end scores points in my books. mate had rg50, went better than my cafe racer ax100. anyone know of any tzr parts bikes in north island?

[ducatilover]

Yeah I love the Bros650's and always wanted to throw a decent front end on my old one.
Have you tried trade me and google?

[Mrs Cowboyz]

And here I was waiting for a fire. Next vid perhaps:yes:

Haha....there was a huge explosion resulting in fire a few days before...this is why he got the camera out to try and get it to do it again! Mint!!

yeh, looking through your links I did like the one with the RGV front end, wheels may need a respray though:sick:

goddamit, now I'm looking for front end swaps again, too much work to do as it is.

[ducatilover]

yeh, looking through your links I did like the one with the RGV front end, wheels may need a respray though:sick:

I know a mate of his, he just sold it before I could ring and throw money down the phone. I was all excited!!!!!! Not fair! I'm not going near another bros650 if it has a standard front end. Unless I can find cbr600f2/3 springs for one.

depends how you ride, just ride like a nana and it'll be fine :D though she was getting well skittish in the rain on the way home this evening, good thing theres plenty of cycle lanes for me to get past them big bulshy bastards. Also theres bugger all front ends online atm.

So whos going to the Cold Duck and whos got spare tent space... sonic?

Decided as its my last 8 weeks in the country as a Resident I had better man up and attend one of these things. Been to the Cold Kiwi twice to do an MX jump demo on the Waiouru track but not actually stayed and gotten drunk or anything.

I'll need guidance and I promise no wheelies or lame attempts at stunt riding that will just embarrass us all. Who's keen to show me the light and maybe babysit me?

[bogan]

Bogan, you have ruined me. I must go buy that Bros650....

what goes around comes around, just found some replacement forks for mine (ZXR400) so will pick them up to see if they will swap, and also made an offer on a CBR600F3 shock for it too, and yeh I know it won't bolt straight on, that why I guesstimated I could add a linkage to the non-linked SSSA.

progress on my other projects just got a lot slower :mellow:

Should be interesting fitting zxr forks up, would you use the whole front end? I have been told that the 600f3 front springs and 10 weight fluid [if memory serves correct] will sort the slappy problems. But, I imagine a USD front end will be a massive improvement, in looks too. Twin brakes!



I went in to see that ZXR yesterday, the owner took it off the showroom floor. I'm attempting to contact the owner as he only wanted $3500 and the shop wanted a $500 commision.

nah, don't have the wheel and brakes from it, so would see if those bits from the bros are compatible, may look for a zxr wheel in long term though, twin brakes would be cool!

Twin brakes are a brilliant aquisition, I thought my bros650 lacked somewhat in the brakes. The spada was even worse. The Bros had braided front and rear lines and I think they make a great difference.

I'm buggered if I'm paying a middle man =D
ZXR250 looks good! I could rock that

[ducatilover]

I should have the $3500 in my hand tomorrow. If not will be before tuesday. I hate waiting for cheques. I'll happily pay $3500 with a wof/rego and tank of gas [that's an arm twist] and I would pick it up.

yeh, my electric has twins (not braided lines though), and the bros has a big single with braided lines, so will compare the two, and my CR has a little single but heaps of stopping power and feel, and my VT has the infamously crap honda inboard discs. Though I'll probly replace the brake fluid soon-ish, as they take quite a while to engage on the bros.

Yeh $500 is a pretty decent saving, let me know if you're keen to look at my mates one, should be able to set something up.

I'm keen on it. Love the colour and I have only had one Kwaka.

Look into using DOT5.1 synth fluid, I have used it and found lot's less brake fade on that scum bag spada when tootleing over the Pahiatua Track

said he will do wof and brakes next week, he wasn't planning on getting much reg for it though, so may be better for you to buy with it on hold (price would drop to 3400) and just put a year on it to delay the increases a bit longer

Being a tight walleted chap I would prefer for it to have a small amount of Rego on it. But, we can't have everything =P I'm pretty happy with that kind of deal. Am just hunting around to see what else is out there, but, not many zxr/cbr in my price range.
95 would have been the 40hp model wouldn't it?

its the C version which is 45hp :shit:, and he can do 3months rego for 3500, or on hold for 3400

Didn't they get restricted to 40hp in 1993? Or was that just the MC22 CBR? I've found a neat A model in Palmy , but, I can certainly justify the extra $200+rego to get a C model. I can't be too much of a Jew haha =D

yeh, well worth the upgrade, he's not sure if its restricted, but is a jap import so almost certainly is.

It was law after 93 as far as I'm aware to only have 40hp. Which is dumb. The unrestricted ones will rev limit just after 20krpm I think. Been a while since I have been on a zxr. Red line is around the 19k mark?

Know that feeling,years ago I sold a car,got given a bank cheque,deposited it into my bank on Monday(days of Trust banks,was from Wairarapa and going into my TSB in Naki)so to all intents was inter bank,but when I went to get a TSB cheque to give to dealer,I was told cheque hadn't cleared by the Friday,told teller it was a bank cheque and evan Trust bank one at that,she cleared it for me,but was almost pain in arse.

FMS day yesterday. Did the first round of the winter series and had a ball. I highly recommend it to anyone with a half decent bike and a bit of spare time. Did 'quite well' for a first time old bastard. Had a few suspension issues and a huge thanks to Sarge and Cowboyz for the technical advice and tool time:yes: Thanks to all you guys who turned up too, good to see ya's :niceone:

[ynot slow]

Felt strange putting the gixer in the float,thought that was the domain of kwakas,mind you gixer was for transporting not breakdown,and you forgot to add a hammer(big)in toolbox for cowboyz,he was lost without one.

I don't think Cowboyz had broken down was it, I thought he'd run out of gas.

HA! What are mates for! Good shit!!! I think you're eligible for F2 (open class) and Clubmans, no points there though. Take off your lights, mirrors and indicators, and anything else that adds weight, drill and lockwire your sump plug to the frame, hoseclip and lockwire the oil filter, no sidestands, and plumb all your breathers and drains into a catch bottle. And get a 1kg fire extinguisher for your pit. Check out what colour numberboards you need and put the race fairings on. Join the club and get a MNZ race licence, fax off your entry form, pay the entry fee and get out there! Oh, and a paddock stand (I think I'll get a new one)

Not bad for a twin though - I doubt it would have revved that hard. Used to have a few magazine articles on it - apparently it ran/exploded...

Also, Merlin V-12's (made in all sorts of capacities etc) made from 850 - 2,000hp. Magnificent motors though - and the best sound ever produced by an engine!

Well, it'd probably be my best option - wouldn't want to scrape the panniers on the Connie.

I'd kinda like to have a go but not sure if could justify the potential costs. I reckon you've got it right riding an old girl - lots of fun riding, reasonably cheap and probably not too complicated maintenance wise. She sure looks cool out on the track doing it's thing!

[86GSXR]

You could always take the panniers off for the day :laugh:

Yeah, I'm glad I've got the Gixxer out there, best thing that could happen to it. Seemed a bit of a waste not riding it. Didn't cost much to get her up and running, mainly tyres (PR2's), pads, oil, filter, fluids and a few other bits. You'll be pleased to know that the PR2's are just as awesome on the track as they normally are :niceone:

You could easily get an older bike and get into it, there's a class for everything :yes:

Thanks in advance for the input!

Heya, I too certainly agree about the Michelin Pilot road 2's, great tires although i've only ever had them on the rear of the bike, from memory I got 9000 km out of my rear Road 2 but I took it off early, one of the best things about them is they wear evenly, well my rear tyre did anyway and that's a good thing too along with the good grip wet and dry, reasonable handling, great tyre life. I got my mate up in Hastings to put a set on his Firestorm, every time I see him he rave more about them, he rides at moderate pace.
I have a set of Pirelli Angel ST's on the bike at the moment and it looks to me like the milage will end up being similar to the Road 2's, actually they might just edge the Road 2 for feel and ride comfort but for the extra money you're paying for the Angel's i'd definitely give the nod to the Road 2's.
Pilot Power 2ct's are a great tyre no question, superior tyre if you like to ride harder from time to time, they handle better by virtue that turn quicker and grip better but the down side is they don't last as long as a Road 2 or Angel ST, not by a long shot. They are also prone to flat spotting the centre of the tyre if you do even a moderate amount of straight line road riding.

apart from the broken clutch cover and side cover everything else is cosmetic. time will tell

Interesting, for a '98? Green? Yeah a cluch cover is gonna be an ask I think but ya never know.

[cowboyz]

found clutch cover.. US$150. the other cover is only $60 at afc.. just need side fairings and shes mint. wish I knew what insurance is going to do.. either way.. Ithink if they refuse it the bike will be back quicker.

What other cover at AFC? $60 sounds good but even US$150 is'nt too bad really. Were the fairings on e-bay for your model?

generator cover is $60 at afc. Clutch cover is $450 at afc, $150US on ebay. Afc still getting price for fairings.. found front for $100 in green. Found a full set of aftermrket fairings all painted up and kawasaki stamped all over them for US$600 incl shipping... including tail, hugger, front guard, and screen. (as well as the full front, side, underside fairings)
