Kawasaki Sportsbike Riders Club - Australia - Online Forum

I have had the magura on for about 4 years now.
Love it!

Like Scubie (HI MATE ) i've been gone for a bit, i've been over at the ozzx12 site to name one but have also been busy with shift work. Still would like to catch up when I can. I see there are some fellow Geelongians here now.
Will be around the forums.

I left Arista a year ago after being with them for two years with no claims. Reason was that 50% increase mentioned above. They were very competitive price wise, but could not give me a valid reason for the increase.

Hi all, havn't posted for a while.
Just curious. Are there many 12 owners here?
Don't get to see many on the road.

Bernie, Gerry here, Don't think it was Vel, but then again...............

Many will disagree but here goes,
I use Optimax in my 12r and find it quite good. Throttle is very crisp and responsive and the end of my muffler goes a light tan colour as oposed to black with the use of other fuels.
Nearly all cases of plug fouling I know of have been to bikes with carbies not ...

I nod or raise left hand to mainly sporbike riders and the occasional motard down the Go road. I wait for cruiser riders to nod/wave first then return the gesture. Given up nodding to trailies as I've never gotten a nod back.

"Good old seat" was removed due to work being done on the bike, as for it being a modification, thats being done soon with race fairings.
And I never said it was a race bike.

This is the 600 I recently aquired for the track. Yes it is a ZZR but far from standard. It's a 4 into 1 with megacycle muffler. The bike is alot snappier in the throttle as a result and sounds absolutely awsome shifting just before redline down the Island straight.

I was done with my zx12r in 2002 while running it in at Kinglake Victoria.
The Police were waving over all sportbikes into a parking bay where the EPA were set up testing noise levels. I was not about to rev a new motor to the rquired revs so after a heated disscusion I was tested at 3000rpm and ...

I was "Tagged" in the secure parking area on the Sunday by a couple on a green zx9 with undertray.(Sorry for not remembering names)
I'll keep an eye on the comming events and hope to make it to some.
