Hi guys,

had some cooling issues with my 9 lately, I've been through and replaced thermostat, water pump and check all the hoses (the cheaper options as I had a bunch of spares) but my fears have been confirmed, the Rad has a tonne of broken or closed off fins (almost a third of the total fins ...

I'll take a neck warmer, cap and Medium Hoodie thanks!

"Rossi's got nothin!" lol that is the funniest thing i've seen in a while!

hehehe, she's already had the "Pleasure" of Gos's company. Good choice on the ZZR Macca, was sad when Lurch told me he was selling, but nice to know it went to a good home

Yeah, I don't want to spend a bucket load at the moment, but I do have 10months to finnish restoring it until I get off my P's.

have had Gosling and ProblemChild around to give me a hand with it, all Gos needed to do was touch the thing and she started

Happy Birthday Mel!!! Loved the Pics from your birthday ride!

Recently discovered some snapped welds and some serious rust on the headers on my project bike.... rather than try and fix it, i've thought of just replacing it with a 4 into 1 system... not really a fan of the stock 4 into 2...

I'm fairly new with this stuff, so peoples opinions would be ...

A sticky throttle cable or return spring may cause it, but i've just had a look at the parts diagram here - http://www.babbittsonline.com/pages/parts/viewbybrand/9/Kawasaki.aspx

it actually has a opening and closing throttle cable as I thought. maybe try oiling both cables first and see what ...

mmmmmm, fond memories that was the most fun I've ever had on a bike!!

Daaaamn! I know i shouldn't be supprised, what with the ammount of driver training those blokes would get... but still, that is IMPRESSIVE

If the carbies on the gpx are similar to the zzr i used to have (from all acounts the rest of the bike is similar) the throttle has a second cable which pulls it back rather than relying on the return spring to close the butterfly (not 100% on my terminoligy, so feel free to correct me )

I had the exact same thing with my old one. those rivets they use are weak as piss. just be carefull to check for stress cracks from it wobling around. mine nearly split in half

Easy mistake to make as they are virtually identical, but Ike's the other one with the massive glowing forehead and a thing for pudding :P

NO NO NO! its Polichic that has the thing for pudding! she started it!!


.... and so nobody's confused, the swim ride that us canberra guys went on left me ...
