You're northern suburbs right? We'll head up Mountain Highway one day/night, it's about 10 mins from me and I'm 30 from the CBD, you'll love it, trust me.

No idea where that is will need to google map it. I'm sure it's fun for you you'll just leave us noobs behind -.-

Haha nah mate, I can ride fast in my own time, riders look after each other, it'll be very nice and easy for you if we go up there.

FWIW, 250s tend to do better on these tight curves, being lighter.

My mate said the same thing when we rode to Yea... Caught up to him after he'd been stopped for ~10 minutes...

As for 250's being quicker due to lightness, unlikely.. Unless it's am experienced rider on the 250 and a noob on the big bike... I was topping out at 150 on the straights while they did 150 through the bends..

Bigger tires, bigger brakes, more power etc etc

This ain't Yea though, you can't go any faster than 30-40km/h through a lot of these corners - there are some serious hairpins and the bigger bikes are hard to pull around them at any decent speed. The lightness of a 250 allows a tighter turning circle and you don't have to put as much leverage on the bike to get it turning sharp. Obviously rider skill plays more of a part in being faster, I'm just saying that his bike won't be holding him back around the curves.

Will try and get some GoPro footage of me doing a run up there, I've been meaning to for a while.

    • Hey all, I'm sorry if this has been discussed before.  I have a 2008 Japanese import V36 coupe with nav but without Bose. I bought one of those AliExpress android screens, which for the most part works really well.  The only thing that doesn't work is the air con controls (well sort of) and the factory reverse camera.  The AC can be controlled fine but it doesn't report the change in temp and mode to the screen, and the volume knob/other audio controls from the panel don't register on the learning app.  I am pretty certain that the problem is the difference in the head unit between base model (Nav but no Bose) 2007-2009 coupes and anything after 2009.  Mine is the one with the blue connector all the way to the right as seen in this forum post:  The reason I think this is there is one wire left over that doesn't fit anywhere on this head unit, or in the factory screen which also uses different connectors to more recent versions.  I've seen the upgrade from OWC, and have sent the guy a message on eBay but no response yet.  I also don't particularly need the whole kit, just *maybe* an adapter for this one cable.  Did anyone else here have the same problem, or have any insight about what I can do to get this working?  I have been in contact with the seller but all they seem to be able to do is ask for more pictures and videos. Minor edit to add:  I have been researching and found a screen on Aliexpress that actually specifies my head unit in the listing, so these things do exist.  I will contact the seller to see if the wiring adapters are interchangeable with other screens.   Thanks in advance!
