Kawasaki Sportsbike Riders Club - Australia - Online Forum

G'day all. Havent been on here in a while.... Originally from Adelaide, now living in Darwin, just wondering if theres anyone else on here from Darwin/Casuarina/Palmerston/ anywhere vaguely close...

Rolling on a 2009 zx6r, it should be here soon... just waiting for it to be freighted up from ...

blipping is definately a great skill to master, without a doubt... it wasnt long before i started trying it..... however it was quite a while before i got it somewhat right..... it will take quite a long time to get used to your bike, engine, gearbox, and most importantly... the FEEL of your bike ...

I would say the thing that has helped me the most (having only been riding for a few months is having confidence in ur bike... U can take onboard all the advice u like... But at the end of the day... If u don't have the confidence in ur bike... Or the balls to try something new or out of ur comfort ...

Yea SA police are nazi's when it comes to these new hoon laws.... It's ridiculous... It was classed as reckless driving.... It was a mono from a standing start at a set of lights... He had no serious priors.... Certainly nothing criminal.... I think he had a speeding fine... (small one) and maybe ...

Perhaps not such a good idea... My mate got caught wheelstanding last December... Had his court day yesterday... 12 month loss of license and 3 months suspended sentence on a 12 month good behavior bond... Plus fines... Plus court fees... Plus $1000 impound fee.... That's gonna hurt...

cheers for the advice guys..... yea i have found that around 20km/h..... and drop the clutch in (in 1st gear) @ around 7.5-8k rpm will get it about a foot off the ground (with clutch engaged in 1st.... 20km/h is around the 4k rpm mark)... tried one dropping the clutch in @ same speed but @ 10k rpms ...

Yea..... I can get it into a mono easily enough..... By popping the cluth anyway..... I have tried without and reefing up on the bars..... But it's pretty pathetic... Like 6 inches off the ground at most... Lol... But with popping the clutch in first I can get the front wheel to around chest height ...

Hey guys..... Just thought I should ask for some advice/pointers here... But I have started practicing popping mono's on my 250 ninja.... It's a pretty violent 1st gear pick-up..... I was wondering first of all what I should watch out for in terms of damaging the bike.... I.e. Blowing fork seals ...

Welcome mate..... The 250r in black is definitely a sexy looking beast (for a learner anyway lol) i have the exact same, but with an akrapovic slip on carbon exhaust...... Sounds a lot nicer..... Nothing like the postie-bike sound of the stock one! =P but there us a lot of knowledge and good people ...

i had the same thing with mine when starting it cold without choke...... it has never done it while tho choke is on during start up....... However i have an akrapovic slip-on, not a yoshi..... however i had the exact same thing with mine on cold starts..... but only when i had the choke off ...

Having just had the benefit of riding Vivek's ninja 250 and having ridden many ZZR250's, my suggestion is to leave it alone. The power is delivered on the ninja much better than the ZZR. The ZZR motor happens from 10-14. Whereas, the Ninjas is delivered mostly around 7-11. Right at the best part of ...

Hey Ben you can learn allot from here:

Cheers for the link, that thread is AWESOME!! that ninja looks pretty bad-ass hahaha :kuda:

I was also wondering if anyone knows of places in adelaide ...

Hey... Welcome..... There seems to be quite a few of us fro
Adelaide lol... P.s. The learners course is an absolute walk in the park! Lol

Hey all... How r ya all?

Just wondering if I could get some advice/opinions from people....

I have heard that the later model ninja 250's are down-tuned in order to pull better fuel economy... I was wondering if there would be an easy way to go back the other way and tune it back up for ...

kk Sweet....... I'm in Salisbury...... moved here from hillcrest late last year... Good to hear theres a few of us in the same sort of area.... haha
