WOoOoOohOoOooO!!!! Just picked up my 2007 R6 today!!! loving life but hated life on the ride home from prospect - paralowie its SO HOT!!!!!

well here she is... im so happy :P

Excellent choice! The R1s are too much of a handful on road, but the R6 is very useable in every way. I've always found the R1 and R6 sexy looking bikes.

On another note, I found my old Aprilia RS250 race bike and have the option to buy it back! :D

Its just had a full engine rebuild too.

are you going to buy it back? ^_^

I have a buyer for a ZXR in my garage, but just need to fix a small fault in the clutch basket. When that sells I'll have the money to throw away on getting the Prilly. I have the money there, but I gotta travel to Phillip Island to work in a few weeks = $. So the ZXR sale will def secure it. I def want the RS250 back! Its good to see a bike you built for the track come back in almost the same condition.

Me and a mate previously set that thing up to be a great sub-2 minute 250 around Phillip Island when I first got it 3 years ago. Which is not bad at all for a 250 with stock gearing and it was running with a dodgy rear cylinder at the time (the Aprilia RS250 is a two-stroke v twin 250cc bike for those who didn't know). Its now got a 520 race chain conversion with lower gearing and a few other mods. My pommy mate reckons a 1m50s around Phillip Island is in the bag.

Asked my pommy mate of mine who use to race the RS250 back in the day, if he'd like to go halves for kicks and giggles! :yes:

Bah. Those bikes all look so damn hot. Makes me wish I had one but alas my eyesight is bad enough that I'm restricted from 2 wheels ;P

-D

mmm rs250 is choice, thats a good colour too!

Damn! Spoke to my mate and the RS250 is being offered back to me at a very affordable price. And a well-kown RS mechanic did the engine rebuild :P

The RS250 doesn't look like that now (in the pic above). Last I saw it, it sported a red/white paint scheme with no decals. If/when I get her back, I'll restore her to her former glory. :) It was putting out 60hp. If I get her back, I'll change the expansion chambers and remove the magneto to free up more power and throttle response (hopefully closer to 68hp from a 130kg bike!!!)

I gotta sell shit quick! Someone buy my Stagea!

A quick pic of the RS in action. This is a pic of when I first got the RS250. This is during testing on the track and setting it up for an upcoming race ...

damn that looks tough too! wish they allowed the rs and rgv's with r-date licence... nice bikes.

atm looks like ill be going up to a drz400sm after i sell the cibby... seems like the best choice for my height till im on my fulls.

A mate of mine at 6'1" and 95kg loves his DRZ400SM. Its the most fun wheelie machine there is ;) I'd thought about getting one myself ... but I already have too many bikes ;)

I'm glad L platers can't get RS250s. First time I took my RS out on the track I topped 190 thru turn 4 at Mallala screaming in 4th!!! Fair enough mine was in race trim, but f**k the little thing is quick. They are blindingly quick in corners. Most corners I can go thru at 10-20kph quicker at the apex, but I'm already accelerating thru the turn, so I have a higher acceleration out of the turn than on my old 600 race bike.

well here she is... im so happy :huh:

I heard word that you're not licensed to be riding an R6. :huh:

If you do not have a license to ride the R6 then you should stick to learner approved motorcycles. Most bikers (as well as cops) do not take too kindly to unlicensed/restricted riders on bikes they're not permitted to.

If this is not the case, then happy riding. ;)

ruby wtf?

reads like you're having a go at him.

why? whats the point?

beaut bike BTW - really looks neat.

seriously stop laying down your morals for others to follow. live YOUR life and let others be.

kietz enjoy the new ride dude! go easy stay safe and give it some every weekend.

went down to check out the 2009 drz400sm today... prices went up a fair bit, think ill need to settle for an earlier model. The guy there said he can do me a deal on my bike + some cash for the drz but wasnt able to tell me how much.

hmm gotta start hunting around.

    • Oh yeah forgot to also mention need to also unplug the IACV as well. Thanks for the reminder @MBS206 Unplugging the TPS takes it out of closed loop so you're able to screw down the IACV without the ECU trying to add/subtract timing to maintain the idle (not sure PowerFC can even do this, but Nistune and the OEM definitely does)
    • For sale is my 1999 Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T, tuned to 234 kW / 313 hp. I've had the car for a few years as my daily driver. The car is original (as far as Skylines go), with only a few minor upgrades to enhance performance and driving experience, as typical for such a car of its age. Overall, it is in great condition with no body rust, thanks to its earlier import date. It features a top-notch security system (not literally, but it's great!) with remote start and still functional 4-wheel steering via HICAS. It comes with several performance and handling upgrades, including:     Hypergear 450HP Turbocharger running 17 PSI boost, installed mid-2021 by Jaustech     550cc injectors     Nistune ECU     Front-Mount Return-Flow Intercooler     X-Force Stainless Steel Exhaust     Upgraded engine mounts     Bottom end bearings replaced     BC Coilovers     Lenso DR1 rims     Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE003 TL 245/40R18 97W tires, fitted early 2023 The interior is mostly stock, with a few additions:     Viper Satellite Tracking System with remote start     Bluetooth Double-Din Touchscreen Head Unit     Steering wheel cover Cons:     A few paint imperfections here and there     Driver’s seat shows more wear than the others. It's not torn at all, but I've added a seat cover to protect its condition. I also have a CarVX Vehicle History report available for serious buyers, so you don’t need to purchase it yourself. Price: $26,000 ONO.
    • I've had two suzukis in the past have an extremely hard time turning over and not starting after sitting for a few weeks. Ended up the alternator would seize up causing the starter to force. Same issue both times.  Maybe they're sourcing their alternators from the same place...
    • Ah right. Maybe my rb just loves chewing through batteries lol.
    • On the R34 can't you just unplug the IACV? This is the way I've always done it on the R33. Disconnect IACV, get it idling around 650rpm, and then do a power reset on the ECU to get it to relearn idle (factory ECU).   The big reason no one has touched on as to why you'd want to get the base idle right, is that it means the computer needs to make smaller adjustments to get a good idle at 700-750rpm.   Also, cleaning the IACV won't normally make the car suddenly idle lower or higher. The main issue with the IACV gumming up is that the valve sticks. This means the inputs the ECU gives, aren't translating to changes in air flow. This can cause idle choppy ness as the ECU is now needing to give a lot of input to get movement, but then it moves too far, and then has to do the same in reverse, and it can mean the ECU can't catch stalls quickly either.
