Haven't done any of the above but it was running perfectly until it started smoking (even then it was running fine, I killed the engine as soon as I could to prevent further damage). I did recently change the water pump with one of a zx7 as the old one was leaking from the weap hole, and the one of ...

Coolant is now empty (at least the bottle). I've removed the water pump to see if that was siezed and water came out so still water left in the water system, and no the pumps not siezed). Could just be the head needs to the torqued down. Might check the bolts today and see if there out. Also by ...

Yep, water went into the crankcase, was all milky and spilling out the head gasket (producing the smoke)

Hi guys, long time no post... Or read for that matter. However, I need some advice if I may. About 1mth ago, I was riding along and noticed a fair bit of smoke around, then realised it was all coming from me... Somehow the bike managed to throw the water in with the oil to not a great effect. Anyway ...

As your putting it on the trailer starts to drop down and if your quick it's all good

Keen to see this video :p

Just need to buy a ramp and jockey wheel / front stand for the trailer
Wouldn't bother with one myself, never a good idea to try and load/unload without the trailer "firmly" attached to the car, trust me i have tried (a few times) before :p and by leaving off the jocky wheel, you can never forget ...

Just brought one of these, but havn't wired it up yet. Hopfully mount it somewhere near the instrument panel. Has USB also, which makes it slightly easier for the phone

I have just 3rd party comp on mine. Youi came out the cheapest, (against about another 9 companies) however i ended up going with Insuremyride as they also covered my gear (which is close to the value of the bike) from memory they were the only guys that did this.

Ironic, yet true

^That really sucks :( Would it not be worht a phone call or email to the ACCC. Pretty sure this woud have to fall under some sort of resonable standards clause, and a phone call/email isn't going to cost you a cent. Just a thought. As for selling it, i don't think anyone would buy a bike knowing ...

Would it not be straight foward to drill a hole through the bottom of the cap to then fit a silencer?

Just a thought.

Well ol girl just hit 20k and I having a look through the service manual it tells me it's time to check the valves. Just wondering what everyones thoughts are on this, as after a bit of reading through old posts, it looks as if everyone waits till a bit fruther down the track, so i thought i'd see ...

I got a leather one from Ebay (england) hasn't had alot of of use, but it fit on perfectly (although i did remove the existing cover) and then just staple it in. Deffinately certainly looks the goods

Where is that first piece of footage from ? That looks like fun..

Like i calld it, "my backyard" :)

LOL it's out the back of Canberra, called Naas rd, got a dirt road at the end so it's one of the less travelled roads and has some really nice corners, only catch is alot are blind and there is ...

Chest mount is my preference BUT the results vary

That one was a bit low, but this one is not too bad

I have also seen them attached to the chin part of the helmet, that should give you a good view, but on some ...
