I'll come on Friday if there are some other people there with bikes. I haven't had much to do with SAU since I sold the R34.

Pete should have his beast out.

I'll be on the Brutale ... no doubt Nathan will be on his lawnmower ;)

can someone explain to me, how it was possible for someone to

purchase my old plates, when

A) i did not sign them over

B) i paid had the rights to them foe 12 months...

either the new owner has forged my sig etc to pass them on, or motor reg are gay.

explain?

i got a akrapovic muffler on it, that removes the cat and midpipe.

Any ideas?

Could be a number of things:

Plug gap (even the factory can be lazy). You could cut to the chase and just fit iridiums.

Fuel. What you using?

Was there any sensor device on the bike originally, like in the area of the cat? If thats left unplugged the ecu might not account for it.

If its still running the stock filter, that might not help either. Hard to say without knowing fully how flexible the ecu is with realtime tuning.

I know my TLR doesn't like short trips. Fouls plugs on short distances ... needs to be warmed up completely and have a few kms on it once warm. Maybe the CBR does the same thing.

Most of the time its not just one thing on its own, its a combination. But the pipework (and removal of the cat) could be the main problem. I know I had to re-fit the eMoto hi-flo system and mid pipe on my Brutale when I got it back from the repairers. The stock cat was killing fuelling and throttle response because it was tuned for PULP and a hi-flo system.

If you really want to be spot on. Take the bike with a tank full of PULP, a fresh set of iridiums, to Neville Lush in Victor Harbor. He's a guru with tuning and I've never had a problem with any of my bikes thru him.

Where is the bike now (who is fixing it)? I might know the guys and can get a bit more info.

incorrect on the r35. I think Dirt Garage was joking about the motor blowing in reverse off the docks. And just because one motor blew doesnt mean they all can't handle 400kw.

that sarcasm things amazin' innit?

    • So many people don't notice it, as batteries decay slowly over time. Two big reasons people end up noticing and needing to replace batteries: 1) The cold weather. The cold not only makes it harder to turn the engine for a few reasons, but it also increases the batteries internal resistance. So this means you need MORE power to turn a colder engine, AND the battery has a lower limit on how much current it can provide. 2) Something gets modified/altered/added in the wiring, typically an aftermarket accessory, like a dash camera, or an alarm etc, and this adds a small amount extra onto the battery, and pushes it over the edge in its failing days. But if you hadn't have read this thread, and just pushed through, chances are you might have made it through this winter, just. But come next winter, it would have been kapoot. But the fact you changed it out now, means you've instantly noticed how much nicer it is for starting, and will be less worry for you that the engine won't start now.
    • Holy shit, I'm glad you brought up the battery issue and I'm glad I asked about measuring it. Old battery was at a healthy 12.82V in the morning with the car turned off. Removed the fuel pump fuse, clamped the multimeter on at min/max/average and cranked for ~3 seconds. It dropped down to 8.30V. So yeah, not surprising it struggled that much. Picked up a fresh battery from supercheap and it's ridiculous. Haven't done a cold start yet, but man, even with a warm start the difference is night and day. I can't believe I lived with this for so long. Just blamed it on it being an old modified car. Went with Century because convenient. If they are shit it'll be a future me problem. But just in case I set up a reminder for 30 months - 8 weeks to check on the battery state and get a warranty replacement if necessary. 
    • There's another sensor that sits inside the evaporator, that's a C U N T to get to, but can be done without removing the entire unit. Usually it's not the sensor that dies but the actual capacitor in the circuit (part of the plug that dies).  
    • Putting the climate control CU into diagnostic mode is independent of the ECU. You just have to do the dance prescribed in the manual. No, I do not know what the dance is. I have an R32, so use the dance in the R32 manual. On older cars, I would have said "no, the ECU should not affect whether the A/C works".... but for an R34 that might be wrong. I don't recall the detail, but there was extra mods required to make my R32 A/C work against the R34 ECU. The R34 ECU apparently gets involved in the running of the A/C more than earlier cars did. Theoretically, if the PFC is a true plug in, then it should just work the way that the original ECU does - wrt A/C. But there's always scope for them to have not cared. Nope. Pressure switch out = getting the fridgey out to pump the gas out before pulling the switch. The switch really cannot sense gas pressure unless it is up against the gas.
