Hi guys,

Mate Matthew from **** ***** Motorsports in Sydney what's the best you can do me a man t5 box for our show car just off completion n photo shots waiting if do a good deal will make she a good mate mark from street machine n boys at st commodore will do a great write up for you

will put stickers on etc send you photos etc.

Cheers

Might stick with the gixxer in a 750 then if/when I go to a 1000 I'll decide between the 2

My mate has a 600 gixxer and is only a short guy, but he told me not to get the 600 as u need to work it hard to get it going, whereas the 750 is the same size bike but better low down I think it was.

The R6 might be different though

600 super sports actually have very similar acceleration times to the 1000 super sports, at least until 100km/h where the bigger engines start take over. Where your mate is right, is around town, commuting etc. The 600s obviously have less torque so they won't pull as strongly at low rpm like a 1000...sometimes you'll have to drop down a gear to go anywhere. So yeah, any extra displacement will make the commute easier for you. That being said, my 1000 still doesn't feel "quick" until 6000rpm.

As a side note, don't listen to anyone telling you how slow or fast a bike is IMO, cause it's ridiculously subjective and everyone has different experience with bikes. The R1 still scares me yet there are plenty of people who are or want to sound hardcore and say "could be faster". A 600 is going to feel quick everywhere when you've come from a 250.

Because Victoria that's why

Yup... If you're bicyclist, better leave some money aside for your funeral if you're forced to share the roads with cars since you can't really ride anywhere.

they do, just not in a park full of joggers, walkers, kids, families and other people walking around

i think its fair enough that 1 park is exempt from bikes

im sure they were allowed at one stage and far too many incidents occured where cyclists plowed into walkers or walkers plowed into cyclists so they banned cyclists

Also noticed that Fitzroy gardens are not allowed to ride on, there's heaps of space for everyone on this park.

It's possible that the cyclists aren't aloud to ride cos of people who don't look where they're going which equals to accidents.

Yeah not going just by what he says but I'd say it's pretty much how it is. He's like 70kg vs me at 90kg so I'd say it'll only be more of a problem with me on it.. I'll have around a year on a 250 by the time I go to the 750 so shouldn't kill myself straight away with the extra power

Nah you'll be alright as long as you have a head about you, I went from 250cc this

to my current beast. It all comes down to attitude.

Tuff looking cruiser man!

always wanted to get a cruiser, but have this odd idea that at slow speed, like weaving through traffic jams ( frowned upon ) might be hard to balance...

is it just me or do you guys find tons of websites just freeze your browser these days?

like google, try and search for anything, basically instant lock of the browser for several seconds

same with netbanking, instant lockups for seconds++;

Tuff? Viragos are girls bikes haha. They are actually easier to balance because of the lower centre of gravity, and that particular bike only weighs 138kg. Was very nimble in the traffic!

Had a look at a '99 ZX2R today guy was asking $4k very average condition shouldn't have bothered driving to heidelberg to see it

He also had a yellow hyasong 650r thingo actually looked pretty good and they're LAMs approved aparently

tj uses "tuff" to describe everything... he doesn't actually mean "tough"

the other day we were sitting at work and he described his sandwich as "tuff"

true story

    • Nice write up solder thank you.  that problem had fallen into another days fun. I wanted to get this cold side in and turned over so it was wired up the same to get a start. no luck I got a couple of cough’s before the battery died unfortunately. we have some wether on the way and I’m back to work, I will order your plugs and re wire them in the near future. 🤙
    • It was simpler than that. Few things going on. One is that I hate plastic clutch alignment tools. Anybody who reads this in the future and is considering one, don't. Even for 3 USD it's not worth it. Mine left plastic shreds all over the inside of the clutch hub. Now I need a proper steel one and to re-grease the hub splines very carefully without leaving any excess that could go into the friction disk or anywhere else unintended. The second is that I'm bad at reading directions. There is a step in the instruction manual that tells you to put in the 3 M6 bolts BEFORE you attempt to put the clutch onto the flywheel which has been bolted to the crank. You should tighten them slowly and evenly in half turn increments so the springs all compress evenly. Once hand tight back it off until the friction disk can move around between the midplate and the pressure plate. Otherwise the hub won't be able to move properly to line up everything. The last point which is possibly the most important and is not mentioned in the manual or anywhere at all is that the friction disks are actually not symmetrical. There is a very, very subtle asymmetry to the fingers where they mesh with the hub. These fingers need to be pointing towards the midplate. This helps to make sure the friction disks stay engaged with the hub. Otherwise there is a distinct risk they pop up and out of the hub while you assemble, leading to the warped pressure plate I posted initially.
    • ..m'kay.... I see on my phone you're having difficulties interpreting the artfully hand drawn R31 wiring diagrams... you wouldn't credit it, but they're actually more accurate than those colour diagrams in gregory's and the like... ...for your purposes though, the wiring colour legend is on sheet 1.... ....the fuel pump connector is top right on sheet 2.... ...pin1 (black) goes to chassis ground -- pin5 (light green/red trace)... The best way to navigate those drawings, is to open them up in whatever image manipulation/paint program you like, and use the straight line/ruler  tool (with a highlight colour) to trace along the wire lines...not hard, no rocket science involved... Fun facts: The OEM diagrams are drawn to top trim level spec ~ so for example, you're looking at Silo spec wiring, but the base S3 Executive trim is also covered by the same drawing (base models just don't have all the add-on luxury bits) One of the more sublime bits of errata, is this bit... The wire splice between pins7,14 doesn't exist (red) -- the bridge on the cluster PCB between the same pins (green) does exist...but it's not 'there' physically...it's actually more towards the center of the PCB, exactly at the spot where they tend to crack...and if it does, only half the dash lights work... can drive you nuts chasing it ; don't ; just solder in the missing splice... These are 'intentional' soldered and taped splices inside the loom(s) ~ there's also unintentional splices like this, due to manufacturing process when a spool of one particular coloured wire runs out, and they splice in/on a new spool. Those splices above are in the loom, LHS, underneath the front guard panel (remove to get at loom)... if water's gotten into the looms, you can expect corrosion at these splices ... keep this stuff in mind, if in the future you get any weird electrical faults... 👍  
    • that looks identical to the WGNC34 Stagea one I was poking around the other day. Is the other end of that not the ECU plug? If so checking continuity at both ends will tell you which ECU wire it is.  I can start by telling you ECU pin 31 is the top of the large pins on the right in your second pic
