Best Mechanics In Melbourne

Postby Taddy » Sun Nov 19, 2006 9:24 am

Okay Guys,
Having tuning issues bigtime on zx7r (Choking or Flooding @ 5,000rpm)
Who is the Melbournian Guru on these bikes?
Have had it to a local bike mechanic with a dyno and he's stumped so now it's time to find the bestest available........

No bud, he's been dynoing for a few years apparently, he actually came very highly recommended from a few local riders, but alas

I'm withholding judgement until I finally get around to doing my own compression test... but If it's fine you won't have to ask for my opinion to hear it ;)

Dare say Smek isn't on his pat malone re Race Replica... think Tape would have rather NOT seen them and can't say i'm overly rapt with treatment of my heating problem.

Just came from Pete's place less than an hour ago.
He said "You talking about Elaine?"
I said "No Lainie"
"She got a green froggy?"
"Yeh"
"Well thats Elaine"
"Oh OK. We know her as Lainie"

Went there so he could tighten my chain up bc I'm riding to NSW tomorrow morning.

:lol:
