Help with first bike?

[Asher]

Anyone have the link to the thread?
I just checked out that black Rgv and it had a bit of an issue you guys might help with.
When I rode it lagged through 6 to 7.5k rpm and had a noticeable change in engine noise but had power before it and heaps after.
The dude said he had never noticed it and maybe it was because it had been sitting for a few weeks

Ride it over 7500 rpm. Only.

Fixed.

could be any number of things ranging from plug all the way through carby issues up to electrics.Very hard to tell unless you get it checked out.im not sure i would be over keen on a 50km 2 stroke .To many people own and neglect them am ride hard all the time.
Tell the guy you want to get a bike shops opinion before buying.

Done a bit of searching and it seems like its a common problem with the rgv, seems like it is most like an issue with the power valves.
If the guy is unable to find the problem im not going to bother with it.

Also is there anything known to be wrong with this rgv (owned by the idiot) or has he fucked it?

I sent a email to this gsxr asking if they will let it go for $3000 (its asking for $4000 but its been listed for 3 months)

There is also this 91 rgv in Porirua, which looks like it would be worth the trip up and ride it back.

And finally this 89 ZXR which the owner is meant to get hold of me about it sunday night.

I never thought it would be this much trouble trying to find a bike

the 89 zxr looks like the pick of that bunch.I had the 400zxr a while back so im kinda favouring zxrs.im not sure the Porirua rgv is worth coming up for to be honest im sure I have seen this on tard me a few times over the last few years.

Cheap first bike option would return a profit later when you find a keeper and less risk than 3k for the first few months.Then you could upgrade when Lams laws take effect for a bigger bike.

I ended up making an offer on that black and yellow 93 RGV. I took it for a test ride and the thing blew me away with how fast it was.
Im talking to him later tonight to see if he has accepted the offer.

*and done, $3000 + new WOF. Im really stoked with it, it was in really good condition and turns out it only done around 20k and had alot of work around 5k's ago

Would now be a good time to link you to this thread?

[Asher]

im not sure if i brought it off the same person but the dude didnt seem to know too much about it but the had all the receipts for it anyway.

If deal fails that could be good

Bloody nice example of one!

[Asher]

That GSXRR looks really nice
But i picked the RGV on Monday. Had an issue with it cutting out and dieing at speeds over 80kmh but it turned out to be an aftermarket filter installed between the tank and the carbs restricting the fuel.
But holy hell she goes like theres no tomorrow!

Ummm. Did you get a replacement inline fuel filter...or?
Had areally good check of your tanks internals / condition?

[Asher]

The tank look pretty clean and rust free, it still has the filters in the fuel tap and carbs....
