Total care covers you for what ever you are driving or riding
Glad to hear your tow truck eventually turned up..
I was the chicky on the Z750 who stopped briefly to get some blood circulation back in my hands and feet.. :-)

I keep meaning to look into the RACV total care options, I have tire and ...

Picked up my new Z750 on Saturday, Didn't have the heart to ride it out in the rain on Sunday afternoon so we set up some strobes in the carpark and took some shots of the bike. None of the shots I took made the cut but I did get to stand around admiring the zed for a few hours :D The bike is my toy ...

Thanks again for the advise, much appreciated.
Looks like I have to go with the aftermarket one, It is either that or 2-3 weeks of no bike and catching PT waiting for the part to come in. Kawasaki have no stock of the sprockets only the retention plate.
I made a couple of calls to see if anyone ...

I know what you mean, it isn't going to be under any strain so it shouldn't be an issue. I guess it was just the amount of wobble on the old sprocket that made it seem like it was likely to just get worse with wear. In all likely hood the vibrations from the hooked teeth caused the additional ...

1-2mm is not that excessive really - nothing to worry about. Once you lock the sprocket into position with the big nut, any slight amount of wobble will disappear anyway.

If it used a big nut I wouldn't be so worried but it uses a thin (2.5-3mm) retention plate that slots into a gap in the ...

thanks,
I figure I'll just get the genuine part ordered in, it should be the right size which will reduce the amount of wobble that it's got...

Hi,
so I started having some vibrations and bad noises coming from the front sprocket on my zzr250, the chain was stiff in places so I bought front and rear sprockets and new chain to replace everything.
The teeth on the front sprocket are a little hooked and it definitely needed replacing but it ...

No idea on the legalities.. but the buttons can be bought from sewing supply shops or from leather/saddlery supply places.
They are typically sold as 'snaps' or 'press studs' and will come with a tool that minimize the amount of smushing incurred when applied with a hammer..
The ones from saddlery ...

I feel for your baby.......... but i really would like to see the face plant !

Good luck giving 'her' a 3rd chance at scrappage.. hope 'she' isn't off the road too long! ;o)

If it was someone else doing a face plant in a video on you tube I think I would have laughed my arse off... Unfortunately ...

Hi grimmelkin,
Sorry to hear about your fairing issues!
I have a ZZR250 also (1992), however my fairing damage is quite minimal in comparison to yours, and as you have already tried epoxy I don't think I can really suggest anything else. I looked into a new fairing set too and found the same as you ...

So I had a lovely ride up through Reefton on the weekend except for the bit where I dropped the bike..
I slowed down to pull over at the turn off to marysville to do a U-turn, there are a heap of driveways and gravel tracks there and it looked a good spot to stop before heading home.. I didn't think ...

Nice shots mate. What cam/lens where you using?

My hat goes off to this guy though. Very convincing zombie. His costume was simply awesome, he was chewing on raw sausages & he was foraging through bins haha



That guys face is awesome! There were quite a few people with prosthetic special ...
