I get pretty tired after a hour, never really been on long trips with the bike that being said I'm sure you could do a decent trip with a few small breaks

You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

Its just as easy as the Ls

Unless you get some retard lightbox operator who waits until you're way over the line before choosing which direction he wants you to take, making the counter steer nearly impossible. Almost failed because of that fuckhead.

I meant bit early booking for a test over 2 months away..

Birds - whats the longest trip you've done on your bike? is a 2 hour trip even possible on a super sport riding position?

Yeah it's plenty possible, it does depend on the specific bike and your own physical strength, though. Some supersport bikes are more comfortable than others for extended ride times, e.g. GSX-R1000 vs Ducati. The most common complaint for riders seems to be lower back or wrist and shoulder pain. I never get lower back or shoulder pain, but both of these are strong points from my exercising, which you probably also have, whilst a lot of riders who don't exercise, won't. I do get sore and numb wrists/hands after extended periods, but this has improved heaps the more I ride and it goes away the moment you stand up / hop off the bike.

When I head up to the mountains its usually an hour of constant riding which doesn't leave any lasting fatigue. The longest trip I've done was about 3 hours of riding with some breaks. I was pretty wrecked after that...but it was when I first got the bike, so I may have just been getting used to the riding position. There are core strengths for riding that you can't develop any other way than to just ride and get used to it.

tl;dr you'll be enjoying the bike too much to care about the pain!

Cancer hasn't done anything for me lately, I'll be damned if I'm going to give money to it.

I'm a pretty regular donator of funds to charities, particular cancer research...so it's not that I'm being a tight ass...I just believe in reasonable limits for donations etc. If I can find space in my budget I might make a donayshun.

Ye thats fair enough.

But i bet the vast majority of others here - do not :)

So pony up $20 each you guys. If in 10 years you have issues with cancer, you'd wish everyone else would've chucked in some cash sooner for a possible cure/better chance @ life etc.

My mate was telling me something about gixxers vs the R6/R1 in regards to riding position...something about the gixxers being better?-

Gixxers are reputedly the most comfortable supersports. Have heard R1 are the most comfortable/accommodating for tall guys.

      Thank you for the links. I’m going to go with the 6pin plug you used. next step is rust treating re painting dash support bar and steering column then the 6pin cradle plug when it arrives in the mail.

      Nismo copper mix twin “pull” pedal height engagement

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      I don't how much the car makes a difference or whether it is just a question of gearbox and clutch. On mine it's fine. Pull type Nismo coppermix twin (standard, not competition) on the 5 speed in my Stagea. OEM slave cylinder. Bite point is a few cm off the very bottom of the pedal. Clutch pedal all the way down to put in gear, and when heading off at the lights, there's a tiny bit of nothing and then it starts biting. And fully engaged before the pedal is all the way released. There's a bit of play at the top where the pedal does nothing anymore. Are you in Australia @ck_chino? If you are set on using a Nismo slave cylinder I have one new-in-box at home. Ordered it together with the clutch but didn't get it fitted. We can work something out if you want it

      By Butters · Posted

      I am using a pull nismo coppermix twin in an r34 getrag box, had both the standard slave and  then the nismo one. Adjusted pedal to get bite point how I wanted , it is on the higher side, but would fully disengage past half way down.  I also read that the nismo slave won't work but I had no issues with the stroke, might become one later as clutch wears but 2+ years of happy motoring so far.  Take the above as one input only, specially as my setup is a bit unique in that I am using an S15 clutch master , cefiro clutch pedal, custom braided clutch line. Lots of variables at play.

      Oh for sure, I'm just recounting my thoughts 😎 I'm not what you've got there to fuzt with.... likely my first idea was on the money -- rebuild or replace connectors. You can get a lot of connector stuff here  -> https://www.rapidcables.com.au/ Didn't look in the boot of mine, because I replaced these when I renewed the pump (plastic of connectors had gone brittle) edit: what I used... https://www.efihardware.com/products/2120/Deutsch-DTM-Connector-Kit-6-Pin ...cheaper... https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364900039138

      In no way was i suggesting it’s your fault mate. The trailer cable has a plug that I removed. I will have a closer look, but I did remove the trailer wiring cable with the tow ball as I don’t need it on my silo. i have replaced the fuel pump already there’s no need to remove the cradle again I can see the wire colours from it in.
