I've had a look but the J1's been relegated to the tail tidy only bin in their website.

There's a UK company called Pipe Werx who do a reasonable looking short slipon which sells for around $400 on ebay which I might get down the track if I can't find a full system.

Thanks guys.

If I'm really honest, it's more for aesthetics and to a small extent weight reduction to help with moving the bike around the garage or loading into the van than speed.

I might let the idea go for now but will keep an eye out on the usual places in case a used set comes up.

I seem to have asked an unanswerable question..

I was thinking about changing the exhaust on the track bike and have hit dead ends everywhere..
Are there any options out there for a J1 ZX6R exhaust in terms of a lighter full system?

I've looked at most of the aftermarket places, ebay, gumtree and anywhere else I can think of, but haven't found ...

Couple of questions for the oracle that is the ksrc-au knowledge base..

Question 1)
Have any of you guys had any experience with S3 Performance Brakes?
I'm looking at getting a set of these for the track bike and wanted to see if I'd be saving money or end up spending more if the rotors are crap ...

Finally fitted and tested last weekend.
Didn't need a spring, the spacers seemed to do the trick for the brake MC.
From a half hour test ride (figure 8s, 1-2-3-2-1st shifts in a carpark) everthing seems to be good.
After getting over the original amount of flex in the assembly (compared to the ...

The kit didn't come with any spacers and I had to improvise. If the cylinder is still not moving freely I'll keep an eye out for something I can steal a spring out of (I can feel another ghetto fix coming up).

Cheers. That's what I thought, considering the front brake MC doesn't have any extra springs. Just thought I'd ask as I'd seen some guys use rubber bands and others fork out for springs and plates etc.
Now if only the rain stop for a bit...

After the last track day, and the trouble I was having with the stock pegs I decided to get some rearsets. What I went for were a set of middle-of-the-road adjustables which I had a go at fitting last night.
Most of it went together well and the bike's lost about 400g as an unintended side-effect.
I ...

Problem solved. To use a technical term, it needed a poofteenth more oil and my reliance of the precise, calibrated measuring tool that was plastic bottle the oil came in proved to be my failing.

Cheers guys. The sophisticated and calibrated measuring tool I used was the plastic container that the oil came in.
I had been watching the sight glass as I was filling it but did so in one hit and not over an hour or so with bits of running in between.
I'll get some more today and see how I go.

Yup, did that this morning when I checked if it had settled over night.

After changing the filter and oil in the pants off racer on Saturday, I appear to have stumbled onto a bit of a mystery.
The 4L of the translucent brown stuff I put in that afternoon has vanished into fat air..
There's no puddle under the bike, and the oil pressure light is off, but when I run it ...

Could it be your tilt switch??? Cause when I first took my honda out my mate cable tied the tilt swith at a angle and when I in mid corner it would die on me. Just a thought

I don't think it has a tilt switch, being a carbie setup and all.. Plus I didn't think I was cranking it over that far ...

High Octane it is then. I'll give them a call today and see what they can do. Cheers guys.
