Kawasaki Sportsbike Riders Club - Australia - Online Forum

This competition is BS until we see proof that anyone, especially Marty's love slave, has won anything.

Screw photos of blankets, where's the shot of the bike?

Holy hell. I almost can't believe that 3 of you are down. I really do hope you are all on the mend and at the very least, getting your fair share of opiate based entertainment.

Get well soon guys, catch ya on the roads again soon.

One last photo. Belly pan in (with cable ties) and stickers on. Starting to look like a genuine racer now.
Srika - Bled the brakes this morning. Front came up excellent and can't wait to try em out. Found a leak in my rear master cylinder so I fitted the one off the donor... all good. Just need a ...

Cheers mate. Well, I figured I had to do it all justice - so, I had to do the job properly. Oddly enough, the bike looks a million times better than it did before the crash. The fairings fit and look brand new.

Its almost too good to ride. Even if it was I'd still ride it... after all thats why we ...

And I'm almost there. Just need to:

Bleed brakes
Find a tacho
tidy up dash
fix rear brake reservoir
Put dzus fastners on belly pan
Change tyres
GO TO THE TRACK!

At this point I'd just hit the starter for the first time, there was no fuel in the system so it was just to make sure it was turning over... which it did no problem.

Then I made a trip up the road for some fuel and with a drink in the tank I was very happy the old girl started, first time (once ...

wiring loom, front wheel and bars are on. And the first sight of green...

OK. Building bikes isn't the hardest thing I've done. But having a donor machine to take parts off was a real blessing.

So, I woke early because I was just too excited to get going... before long I had the motor in the frame and the forks and we were up on the stands. In this photo you will see the ...

hate to get back on topic :wink:

But I tested the 06 10R this week. After spending a few days with 2 different K6's. My response is this:

1. Def a real lack of bottom end - especially compared to K6
2. Delivery not as smooth as I hoped, with one particular wind out nearly spinning the back when ...

Quick update (/bump :wink: )

Just took delivery of a rolling chassis thanks to Strika's racer wreckers. The complete list of parts is too extensive to list. Let me just say that I love his work. I now have a spare frame, fork, swingarm, shock, radiator and blah.

Meanwhile the crack in the engine ...

Big Mitch - and with each passing day I find more to do... I always wanted to build my own race bike, but not this way.

Mad Kaw - Started racing new era 2 last year. I missed round 1 so far this year. Hope to be riding again for round 2.

Aardvark - damn straight (or bent and cracked as it happens ...

Hi All, its been a while... I've been busy getting my head around rebuilding the track/race bike. Some may recall my request for parts and the shots from the aftermath...
Anyway, thanks mostly to Strika for personally delivering the major parts (ie: frame and fairings) the rebuild is well under way ...

A friend, who does server for the THEM, and rides told me this...
"The first thing we do when we pull-over or approach someone is give them the personality test".

Now this means they will ask you a a question like "where were you going in such a hurry". If you fire them a barrage of verbal assault ...

Well, its a kwakka so its eligible.

If this helps:

a) I've seen a video of a guy in the US riding a stand up on a ZZR250

but then consider this

b) I've watched a kid loop a ZZR250 after trying too hard to ride a wheelie.

What's the answer... save it for a bigger bike, find a nice quiet spot, hospital carparks are ideal. It's heaps ...
