Post a piccie of your bike(s)!!

[Wobbly]

Orrite then, all you lurkers, outta the closet! :lol: Share with us all what sort of bikes you ride and some piccies if you can! If you need any help hosting pics I'll be happy to load um up into the gallery and you can linky to them there ... so to get the ball rolling, I'll make a start meself ;)

I'm relatively new to this whole offroad bike and motard thingo, unlike some other long termers, so its all a bit new and glossy to me. I've had various road bikes in the past - started off on an old klunker of a Z250 kwacka (that I had to rebuild first to get running) when I was 16. Went from there to a GPZ600R, then sold that when I moved overseas for a stint. While o/s I bought an XR600 back here in aussie mainly for parts, as I had also come by a Honda RS250 chassis to match it ;) (take a look at http://members.iinet.net.au/~nmilne/supermono for more info).

I rebuilt the top end on the XR motor that was still a dirt bike and rode around on that before eventually giving that to a mate of mine. By that stage I had got myself another road bike (suzuki RF900R) which was a good bus and got me by until I moved from Adelaide to Melbourne....

Once over here I wanted something rather bling bling, so bought myself an 00 aprilia rsv1000 (and here's a couple o pics):

http://vsmr.net/albums/nmilne_non-motard/DSC00989.sized.jpg

I also finally got my little supermono project going as well, but have only done a couple of track days on it because of the never ending list of things to do to it and the death of the supermono class in australia :roll:

http://vsmr.net/albums/nmilne_non-motard/DSC00894.sized.jpg

http://vsmr.net/albums/nmilne_non-motard/DSC00891.sized.jpg

In between I also bought myself a little Kawasaki KR-1, which came with a road going KR-1S. I kept the S in my garage for ages before eventually selling it on ebay and kept the KR-1, which by this time I had fitted up with some S goodies, revalved suspension, etc etc. Shortly after that I also blew the beegezus out of the motor (big end fell to pieces) which then necessitated a bare cases-up rebuild using the scads of spare parts I had. Here's a few pics for posterity:

This little green jigger continues to be my cheapy track day, but I can see that the day is quickly arriving when it must be replaced ... its fantastic fun to carve up the big bikes around the back of the island, but its just so dang slow down the straights (nothing to do with my girth of course :oops: ) that its becoming annoying. Not enough guys out there on 400s or 2-strokes to have fun with :cry:

The aprilia doesnt get much use any more, so I'm actually thinking of selling that and getting myself something a bit more suited to long distance touring (like a vfr, yzf600 or summit like that) for when the drz is a bit too much of a pain, and using the left over cash to finance a new (to me) 600 track bike. And maybe throw a couple of grand at the drz in between ;)

Of course for those who haven't found my post in the 'building the tard' section, here's a few pics of the beastie ;)

And, of course, last but not least, my poor old, long suffering van :lol: Poor thing is almost due a new motor, but I can't get a reco one easily and its going to cost near on $3k to recondition the existing one :cry: So it might be time for a new van .... or a 'real' car and a trailer :?

http://vsmr.net/albums/nmilne_non-motard/DSC00712.sized.jpg

So there ya go! Now there's not excuse for not posting even if you're not the motarding sort (at least yet!) :P

[Flash]

Hey Neil
Is that van an Izuzu?(holden)
I used to do engine conversions!! We could put a sr20 turbo Nissan motor or a RB20 turbo 2ltr 6cyl (165kw+) I have seen a 350 chev in a L300 bitsashiti van recently, it does 12 sec quarters!!
What do ya think??????????

[dicky]

Ash,

Just keep taking the tablets like the doctor told you to, OK.

dicky.

[Wobbly]

Yep its an isuzu .... and I think my bank balance would last about as long as the trueness in the chassis of the poor van!! :lol:

[Flash]

I did run out of pills - how did you guess??

Neil the chassis on most vans are really tuff, does that mean you've got money to burn??
We could get a front cut of a jap car for like 2k with everything you need except driveshaft (which needs to be custom made) and efi pump, easy

Ever been to a motocross meeting and seen all the lowered white hiace vans with 18's on them? you may not have show but man you'd smoke'em!!! :shoot: :^o :chainsaw:

[Wobbly]

Yeah, pitty the rust holes would tear apart though! :lol:

No, I think its time for a change ... mebbe a 'normal' station wagony thing to cart gear around and a trailer. Sorry to be boring but money isn't to burn, especially with this motard thingo sucking my bank account dry and having a mortgage! :cry:

Hence why my aprilia is up for sale, given the use it doesn't get any more :cry: :cry: :cry:

[Flash]

I'll give you my list of toys and when I get photo's I'll post em.
Husky SMR450 04 model, YZ125 02 model, hillman imp GT (turbo), my99 WRX, Tony Kart (gokart), HJ wagon 308 (if all things go extremly well I'll have 2 wrx turbo's to go on it in 6 months.(more pills I know))Giant ATX team down hill bike, giant TCR0 road bike. Ultralite titanium road bike oh and I also have a 1936 austin seven ruby. I'm selling my down hill bike if anyone wants it!!

[Trubritbiker]

Has the Imp got the coventry climax engine in ?

[dicky]

not that this has degenerated into a bragging contest, but here is a photo of my garage taken this arvo.

[Wobbly]

Nice!! =D>
Keep 'em comin! :popcorn:

[Flash]

Yeah Neil its got a coventry climax motor, with a lot of extras!
So you know what an imp is, well I thought I was the only strange one here!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Wobbly]

That was John Ash, so you shouldn't be surprised! ;) :lol:

[Flash]

Whoops, Maybe I should pay more attention when I'm reading!

[Muzzard]

A friggin Imp! My father raced them little bangers when they were new cars in the 60's. Also a V8 Simca Vadette, A Hillman Minx, and a Triumph Herald... Sound familiar to you John?

[Flash]

Your all friggin freaks!!!

No one knows what an imp is.

You'll like mine muzz. Full race suspension lightened shell turbo motor and 2 sets of wheels 13 x 8s with hoosier road legal slicks (245/45s) and I have just made a set of 15 x 7 fit (hoosiers as well)
And Get this I did a brake test when I first got it together 10 yrs ago and I was told that the back wheels got a tiny bit af air!!
It does lift the wheels on hard take offs (with very mild 875cc turbo draw through carbi setup). I am now building a new 930cc turbo (T3) and intercooler blowing through 2 x 40mm webers, It should be aroung the 200hp to 220hp. Just got to get a gearbox strong enough.

[Trubritbiker]

I used to race against imp engined sidecars putting out 130bhp. :D

[Trubritbiker]

A friggin Imp! My father raced them little bangers when they were new cars in the 60's. Also a V8 Simca Vadette, A Hillman Minx, and a Triumph Herald... Sound familiar to you John?

I nearly bought a Triumph Herald years ago but i ended up with a series 1 landrover (1955).

[Trubritbiker]

The climax motors are 1000cc ?

[Flash]

Coventry climax do a 1500cc fire pump motor which a lot of guys
put in Imps because it looks the same.

[Muzzard]

I finished the mootard today and Neil will be pissed because I got my Acerbis headlight and front guard today after ordering it on Tuesday? And my petrol tank and shrouds are also Acerbis and they came from Italy in the time Neil has waited for his tank! I have learnt that if you want it done do it yourself. No slight at all on Neil here either. Dealers in the city are not worth a c#@^ full of cold water, no matter who they profess to be. (Unless your married to one) If you deal with country dealers they cannot afford to fu#k around customers with lack of service/enthusiasm/knowledge/continuity. Do yourselves a favour and come to the country, meet a friend of mine and you will never have your bikes serviced/maintained/accessorised in the city again. I know... WHAT! Go driving for a couple of hours just to get my bike done? If you are an enthusiast, it needs no further mention :argue: ...

I would post a photo, but I dont know how! (Neil does though!)

[Wobbly]

:rant:

I gave em (offroad imports) a ring today and they said nothing until march :cry:

Email me da pics and i'll stick um up in the gallery....!

[Muzzard]

You could get one out of the States within a week if you pay the man! Try MX South in the U.S. they may just have one in stock, they will return email to individual customers and are prompt...Once you blokes meet me, you'll know why I dont stick up links! :shock: ...

Here's my current ride...

http://vsmr.net/albums/ktm/myktm8.sized.jpg


http://vsmr.net/albums/ktm/myktm11.sized.jpg

It looks fairly stock now, but i have a few plans...

[Muzzard]

Sweet looking ride there QDogg :twisted: ...
So when are you likely to fit in a ride in town? The Spur loop is an OK Saturday/Sunday morning ride, and the fellas down there are usually easily roused if a ride is beckoning :D
Post up an album for KTM in the Gallery. I dont think we have started one yet...

[Wobbly]

I've started a KTM album by moving those pics from tasty to it ... bring em on! 8)

http://www.vsmr.net/modules.php?set_albumName=ktm&op=modload&name=Gallery&file=index&include=view_album.php

[QDogg]

Thanks Muzz!
I'm always checking to see when the next ride is, and i'm just itchin' to get up the spur sometime soon. I've done it a zillion times on the roadie, so i can hardly wait to get the kato up there.

But as you'd understand, sometimes you can't always get to where you want, when you want!

I would have loved to have come down for the night-time city ride...

One day i hope to meet all you guys. I was "THAT" close to gettin up the Alpine way over easter, but i would have been drawn and quartered if i'd gone. :(

By the way, if you need a ute for your "world record attempt", i've got one and would be quite willing to act as the, (ahem) transport vehicle. :D

[Muzzard]

Cool, Would be good to get afew more riders active so your always welcome mate...
Record attempt has been postponed temporarily to accommodated new bike purchase...
Yep, I decided on a Buell XB12RR as my next ride and would like to use it for the wheelstand cause its got the punch to hold the wheel where you want it with just a twist of the wrist! :D
Looking for a low mileage Buell in black with gold rims...anyone?

[Flash]

Will this replace the WR or provide support for it?

[QDogg]

Yep, I decided on a Buell XB12RR as my next ride and would like to use it for the wheelstand cause its got the punch to hold the wheel where you want it with just a twist of the wrist! :D
Looking for a low mileage Buell in black with gold rims...anyone?

Mate of mine's got a black 900 for sale (silver rims). Been dropped though(hardly any visual damage) and gets a bit of headshake around 120 kays. 2003 model and i think he wants about $13k...

[Muzzard]

Nah, It will replace the WRF Ash, why you want a real small bore motard instead of that kerosine lamp you call your YZ?... and QDogg, I would be looking for an 04/05 model Firebolt XB12R. Colour is not overly important as this one will be painted with harlequin...

[Muzzard]

Holy Shit Batman! :twisted: Looks sweet Neil!
Worth the wait... 'Can you get that bike in black' :rofl:

[Wobbly]

Just found that a bit of mr sheen actually dulls the plastics :?

Anything you know that can polish plastics back to gloss? Or better of just doing the whole thing and at least having it match the front half in terms of a matt finish? :-k

[JR]

NEIL, that bike is SWEET as hell!!!!

Good job!

[Flash]

Get some ring master protective plastic!! It will make your old plastic look new or new plastic stay looking new!!!. Try silicon spray on the tank though or CRC (it's better than WD40 for this)

I have just put some new ringmaster clear on my YZ and it looks new again!!
I'll post some pics tomorrow!!

[Wobbly]

Speaking of ringmaster, I dropped in there today only to find out that they're closed on saturdays :x

[Muzzard]

Bastards! :P ...
Can you do the sticker thingy with the logistics of work in the city mate?
If its a real hassle I will get down there this week and collect them.

Ash is right, if it is applied carefully the clear cover Craig uses is very good and retains a gloss for a long time.
Or you could use PLEXUS plastic polish. Its an aerosol thats used for buffing lexan/polycarbonate and works very well. :D

[Wobbly]

I'll sort it out this week ... work out a day to work from home and dart out there ... no dramas mate, its a hell of a lot easier for me to sort out than have you come all the way down from wang given they're fairly close to me :!:

[Rick]

Neil- bike looks excellent, (lawnmower looks pretty pimpin with the whitewalls too :P )
I use Armour all for plastics (but beware folks it makes a non gripper seat slippery)

[Flash]

Plexus works well, but black plastics turn to shit a lot worse and quicker than any other colour, so I would still go with the clear plastic and plexus on the tank!!

[Wobbly]

I bought some bumper type polish today from repco ... bit average in terms of results :-k So where does one find this plexus stuff then :?: Maybe I need to talk to ringmasters about some clear coverings then? :idea:

[Muzzard]

You should be able to get Plexus from most hardware stores, and most bike shops sell it also...
Its grouse for lenses and aeroplane windscreens!
Jeez, If you cant find it in the 'Big Smoke', then I'll walk 2 house blocks to Wasons M/C and get you some off the shelf right now!..(Country Dealers :up: )

[Wobbly]

Good luck - its a holiday monday! :lol:

Orrite, I'll have a look in at bunnings when the slackers finally open today at 1pm :roll:

[Wobbly]

Ok, finally got some of dat dere stuff from autobarn ... it worked really well on my other plastics (esp the headlight unit and front mudguard) but the rear guard is still a bit milky when viewed in direct sunlight ... better than it was before, but not quite as good as the other pannels ... maybe I'm just being too picky :-k

And yes, muzz, this does mean that I'm actually cleaning my bike :lol:

[JR]

whats it matter if ur plastics look perfect if u crash alot ? :lol:
Just messing

[Muzzard]

I did notice Neil, I could see the hubs were actually gold Talon ones :lol:

[Wobbly]

That's why I need skateboard wheels allover my bike JR! :oops: :lol:

And my excuse about the hubs is that I really wanted the black ones....! :D

[QDogg]

Mmmmmmmmm Sssssssssswwwwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeetttttt 2stroke

[Muzzard]

Very smooth Rob 8)
Makes me want my KX500 back! :cry:

[Sibbo]

i dont think liquid and keyboads mix :D i better mop up then!

Muzz, did you have any problems jetting the KX, or with it pinging?

[Muzzard]

No, it ran very well outta the box...
As a track bike it ran methanol with another carb and pipe combo...
For MX and Motard they are heaps fast enough already.
Why the hell would you fiddle with the jetting anyway Sibbo, I have not seen anyone ride them to their full potential in either discipline including dirt track...

[Flash]

Nuh man you got it all wrong, it's the mixture for the fire :lol:

[Sibbo]

i've heard they are pigs to jet right. that they are really sensitive, ie it might be good in the morning, then the weather heats up in the arvo and you have to re jet.

Other stuff I have read, is that the combustion chamber shape is wrong, and that it causes pinging. which you either need to have re-shaped or run a bit of race gas to up the octane rating.

motors is still fresh it only had gen 1600km's on it was stored for ages
its done about 4-500km's as a tard ( hard ones of course ha)
??????? how the hell do i add a pic????
after all that hype too ha

[Wobbly]

Go in to the gallery and you should be able to upload a pic into one of the albums through the menu up the top right...there's a thread about how to do it in one of the forums...

[megahead]

still havin trouble, got some pics into tasty gallery, page10 4 pics
I forgot to mention i use a mac G4 so no right click
I found thread with insructions to upload pics to threads but no right click, so i tried short cut keys but didn't work , iwill try a few other things but in the meantime check out my pics in gallery

[Muzzard]

Nice... ;)

[thumpn]

Here is my other half.....and no not the wife.. lol 93 KLX650C not quite a motard, but close enough for now

Cheers,
Rob

[Muzzard]

Its all good Rob.
Only the rims now mate. ;)

[thumpn]

Cheers Muzz,

I suppose i'd only need a front rim too as the rear is already a 17, although motards run wider ones on the rear end don't they?


Rob

[Daws]

Nice, front does look a bit funny though. Skinny rear is OK, makes for cheaper tyres and faster turning.

[Muzzard]

I explained the easiest way to do the motard conversion to 17's front and rear in the other thread Rob.
Relace the rear 2.5" rim to the front hub and fit an Excell in 4.25" or 4.5" to the rear hub.
Cost cheap as you will find probably.
1x Excell, and 2 spoke sets.

[Tom]

speaking of rims. . .

Are the 165 slick tyres (bridgestone to be precise) made to fit a 4.5" or a 5" rim?

I have a 4.25 and it squeezes the tyre right in, if i upgrade to a 4.5" will it fix the problem or do i need to go up to a 5"?

I might have a spare 4.25" excel rim going cheap soon too Rob.

[shane]

they are made for a 5.5 but run on a 5 fine

[Tom]

Thanks Shane,

You wouldn't happen to know what the "actual" width on a 5' rim would be, would you? Is it likely to be more than 165?

i'm pretty close to the chain as it is, and i don't really want to lace the rim off centre if i can get away with it.

[SMC690]

165 slick will run just fine on a 5" as Shane said.
You will just have to try a bit harder to cane the tyre right to it's edges as if it were on a 5.5. :)

[Muzzard]

The extra 3/4" has to go somewhere Tom and unfortunately I think there will be no other alternative but to offset the rim. :(

[Tom]

So whats a silver 5" rim going to cost me Muzz?

I've got about 8mm spare on each side of the tyre, and pleanty of room either side of the rim. Fingers crossed, let's hope it fits.

If it doesn't fit there'll be a cheap 5 inch rim for sale!

[shane]

you wont have a problem with it fitting , a 5.5 will go in there so a 5 will be a breeze .
as muzz said you will have to offet it , but being a supermoto you will never notice that the wheels arnt in line ..
the brigstone is not as wide as the michelin or even the maxis piece of crap ,
i fitted up a new one yesterday for our races on saturday
been using the new dunlops but not big enough for a 5.5 made for a 5 ,i guess they are old stock as the dunlop supermoto tires in europe and the states are 170 , these came out of aus and only 160 .

[Tom]

I'll give it a go then.

Problem isn't fitting the rim, it's fitting the tyre. At the moment the tyre is pinched in, which i think is all that's stopping it from hitting the chain. Is it worth going up to a 5.5, if i'm going to do the swap anyway?

[Muzzard]

I would be measuring twice Tom.
Maybe use a tyre that you intend to use, fit it with a tube and inflate it to the size you reckon it will be expanded and slide it in the swingarm to check for overall clearances.
I have seen a few XR650's with 5" rears and they look quite tight,..
but not that for the sake of racing you would not try to offset a 5.5" just that bit further and possibly have no interference issues.
Surely it would be within 3 mm of the swingarm if it was fitted with the 5.5" on the right hand side though, and maybe the same to the chain?

[Muzzard]

I was asked again the other day by a forum user what type and model bike I owned and rode.
Now I can post a picture I thought I might impress you with my image tagging skills, and quell the odd query ;)

[Wobbly]

Where's the bike? Is it behind the cow? :rofl:

[Muzzard]

And yes for those of you with Channel 31 and watch Two Wheel Torque,
Its the one off the show a couple of weeks ago ;) ...

[Wobbly]

Bugger, I don't get ch.31 any more as they don't televise on digital telly and I don't watch live tv any more .... didn't record it by any chance??

[megahead]

ok i've heard of being color blind ... but taste blind? :P
Well Muzz it def stands out thats for sure , suddenly my old skool 620 starts to look better :lol:
;) :D

[Muzzard]

Exactly what it is mean't to do too Kyle ;)
Cause controversy, publicity for motarding is what it was about.
Certainly worked well as there have been numerous sightings, across many forums, in all disciplines, about that 'mechanical cow' :twisted:
Some good, some not so good but usually those remarks have been made by disgruntled Stock and Station agents or sportbike riders around North Eastern Victoria :lol: ...

[megahead]

That reply makes me like it even more!!!! :)

[voidifbroken]

Nice.......Cow? :lol:

Love the look but its a bit hi-viz isnt it? i mean, the cops are exactly going to have to work hard to identify ya :rofl:

Seriously tho, at least you are not just one of the herd like the rest of us.

[SMC690]

Is she a Freisan or a Jersey?

If we hang shit on your steed you will have to shame us at the track for revenge. :)

[Muzzard]

I ride a lot of snow covered and lined roads up here at the right times Justin so I suppose you would say Freisan mate :lol:

[postie_moto]

i've always been a little bit ?? about that bike... at least it's different! cool, Muzz :)

[Wobbly]

Its to blend into the background in them there country parts ;)

[RohaN]

Well it went together a week or 2 ago & here are the pics!

so much fun! those chicken-strips are getting smaller, i'm just a bit worried about the chain-lube spattering on my tyre

new style EBC Disk
http://vsmr.net/albums/DRZ/DRZ_006small.jpg

Talon hubs, Morad Rims (the ususal 3.5/4.25)
13/40 gearing at the moment, the 15 is sitting in its package taunting me.

some bits of black plastic here and there, Still waiting on the side panels to go black, tank staying yellow

http://vsmr.net/albums/DRZ/DRZ_008small.jpg

I'm really happy with it, thanks heaps for all the advice guys & look forward to meeting a few sydney tardites around the place :D

[Muzzard]

Nice bike Rohan.
What size rear tyre have you on there?
It looks huge in the pictures.
A 150/60 is what is optimum for the 4.25" and a 160/60 just too big and pinched a bit.

[SMC690]

She looks good mate, nice one RohaN!! :)

[skivi]

i'd love to say i have one of these.... but unfortunately, that'd be a lie :cry:

http://myspace-673.vo.llnwd.net/01145/37/68/1145008673_l.jpg


.... i do however have this little very very very expensive custom push bike version of a motard haha

http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a124/skivi/fhunfront.jpg

http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a124/skivi/4hun.jpg

frame: 05 norco 4hun
fork: funn stiffy rigids
front wheel: 20mm hub, black butted spokes on a rhyno lite rim, kenda k-rads
Rear wheel: deore hub converted to bolt up, black butted spokes on a rhyno lite rim, knda k-rads
Drive train: holzefeller cranks, truvative DH BB, shit chain, DMR SS spacers, 32 front, 15 rear.
Breaks: hydro hayes hfx-9's. 8" front, 6" rear 8)
the rest: shit DJ seat, norco clamp, easton stem and ea50 bars.

built for trials/street riding she's quite light and loves the concrete and skateparks, not much good on the down hill track.

hopefully very soon i'd be on the road with an engine between my legs. the moneys just waiting for the right bike ;)

-nick

[RohaN]

Muzz, yeah it is a 160/60. this picture does make it look a lot bigger than it actually is tho.

I got these tyres on reccomendation from the bloke at Skidz in sydney, He was a huge help, very friendly & i'd reccomend Skidz to anyone in sydney.
He said these would be quite flickable & good for city riding which is 75% of what i'll be doing.

but looking at them next to my mates 160/60s on a 4.5 rear, i see what you mean,
would 150s next time be a good call? what kind of stability/cornering characteristics will be got with each, or is 160/60 in a 4.25 just a bad fit?

[Wobbly]

160 in a 4.25 rear is just too big. It pinches the sides of the tyre inward too much and, as a result, you end up with a profile that is too steep at the sides. A 150 will give you more progressive feel across the range of lean angles as well as a larger contact patch. You'll also not be able to use the tyre all the way to the edge with the 160 so you'll be left with perpetual chicken strips, in case that sort of thing worries you ;)

[Tom]

Rohan,

Get thee to Oran Park this weekend. Me and Dave will be there, Dave is taking his DRZ400 i'll be on the XR.

Spots are still available.

Tom.

[Muzzard]

Nice Norco Nick,
I wouldn't mind rippin a few parks on that little baby.

Rohan,
You will get a much more enjoyable and stable ride with a 150/60 rear on the 4.25".
It will allow you a greater lean angle than you would have though possible, far beyond what you have now.
Chain clearance also becomes better...

[RohaN]

i was thinking about that, or Eastern Creek kart track on thursday nights for 50 bucks.
Cant make it this weekend, i'm flying up to brisbane for 2 weeks on sunday for work and coincidently indycar :D.
Might pass on this weekend, but i'll most probably be up for the next one. My mate cranny has a DRZ400 too, he's keen for a track day as well.

My new beastie which I picked up just yesterday. An 07 525EXC! :D

I said I would get some photos up before I stacked it. Too late. :lol: Just a few scratches though.

70km's now on the clock, and neither the bitumen or rocky trails up here are treating the standard mud tyres too well. I guess that means I need some little wheels on it yeah?

[tambi]

Nice Tom.
Your mate is riding a Husky?
And that carpark is a friggin' pearler mate. ;)

[Tom]

Your mate is riding a Husky?

Nah, it's a Gas Gas 450i.

[Muzzard]

I nearly asked if it was a GG but there are so few of them as Factory motards about, I didnt think it could be.
Did he buy it as a mootang, or did he aftermarket the wheelset?

[Tom]

Nah it's stock standard motard, but with a gas gas that means Fuel injected, Arrow exhaust, brembo brakes, Ohlins suspension etc etc.

Very nice bike, if only it was a 650.

[Muzzard]

They are reasonable bits of gear really and like you say got the right bits there to start with.
These are 04/05 updates so vary a bit to your mates I think.

Hehe, looks like you hit an imaginary roo crossing the road :lol:

[kroosn]

if you have good brakes and push forward on the bars with the right brake pressure than it hardly knocks any speed off at all on the 640. ive tried the whole sliding forward and while its easier to lift it gives you less control on the front wheel. in that position i can ride it alot further and am less likely to do the dive over the bars aswell.

Kroosn

Thankyou Krooz,
Vindicated by someone who can roll a decent endo.
I'm with you mate on the bar position and brakes without killing the road speed, and about the control.
You only gotta release the brake at any stage it fells too high or on balance and your down again and not over a pair of 'folded to the headstem stop' handlebars...
And the bike will stay in whatever position you put it in, in fact you cannot do a rolling 180 in the position Brett is in.
Fact, no argument there.

And I remember that picture.
Thats the day you borrowed my wheels with a brand new disc, and you forgot the new pads to go with it, used your old dirtbike ones and ... :roll:

[Sibbo]

And I remember that picture.
Thats the day you borrowed my wheels with a brand new disc, and you forgot the new pads to go with it, used your old dirtbike ones and ... :roll:
Correct, the next track day I had your chain and rear sprocket and a new set of pads.

Did I do any damage to the rotor? Sorry if I did.

I think by sitting forward, you are able to move the bike more on the front wheel (stunting), cos there is more weight over the front wheel.

I hear what you are saying, but I prefer to do what I do.

[Muzzard]

No can do Chum, not with the inside of the bars jammed against your hip.
Have you tried a rolling 180 yet Brett and got anywhere near at least 90?
There is no room for error or balance adjustment in your theory and you will bite it sooner or later doing it mate.
Just my 2 bobs worth.
I'm just a newb at all this wheelstand and stoppies stuff anyway. :lol:

[kroosn]

i can see why sibbo would sit like that though, it would mean your body isnt going to try and move around so all you have to worry about is leaning and steering, but in saying that thats the same reason not to do it, it will limit how much you can move around to force the bike to do something. but in the short term the best way to do something is the way you feel most comfortable then build from there. or just make your own style. :up:

[Sibbo]

just make your own style. :up:
Thats what I do :D Its called Sibbo Style :lol:

To get the bike to move on the front wheel is more to do with weight and lean than steering input and I have enough room to move the bars anyway.

[Sibbo]

O yeah!!!!!! Nice!

[tambi]

Thanks fellas :) I was thinking of getting the pink part of the forks anodised gold for some faux ohlins effect. Are they just sleeves that slide off or you think it might be a bit more complicated :?:

[Sibbo]

To get at thoes pink bits is hard work as its the fork.

Keep em pink, cos who does not love pink bits??

[Muzzard]

Its an anodised coating Daniel.
So will need a complete disassembly of the forks and the legs stripped and then reanodised to gold for the povvo Ohlins look..

[Daws]

looking good, can't wait to see it together with the retro sticker kit.

[tambi]

I was waiting for that sibbo :lol:
Getting the anodising sounds like a bit of a headache, we'll see...

[Wobbly]

Black paint ;)

[Flash]

Black paint or road grime???

[Wobbly]

Either will do :D

[DRZ-SM]

hahaha MY bike is so much smaller than all the other ones :(

I have a 06 DRZ-250 with exels rims on stock hubs, With a full Stain-tune pipe and Rush airfilter. Its got smaller indicators and barkbusters. In the next couple of months wit should have a Cam and better gearing. at the moment its a bit of a dog on the highway. Hopefully it will have bigger brakes on it if i can find a set an dget the coin.

I'll post some pics up as soon a i cant be arsed to take them :P

The sticker on the back guard says it's a 50, not a 250!
You have been kidding us all along. ;)
Seriously, It's good to see your bike at last, good work dude, she looks pretty kewl.
That's obvioulsy a grey import I figure or do Suzuki aust. bring them in now?

hahah people always walk up to me and ask if its my DRZ 50 :lol:

Whos said about buying it liek that?

Custom rims and spoes on the stock hub

I did alright? Don't make me come over there. I'll thrash you to death with a wet tram ticket.

One would assume (assuming makes an ass out of u and me and is the mother of all fuckups) that with your user name it was some sort of factory grey import out of Japan. Not something you handcrafted yourself, slaving for hours, starting with a simple solid piece of billet. ;)

3. there's a little drop down menu in the top right.
4. pick add photos
5. select photos
6.I usually open another window where I make my post and another with the gallery.
7. right click on the photo you want
8. go to properties
9. copy address [URL]
10. go to message, push the Img
11. paste photo URL and press Img button again

Muzz seems to whip everyone's arse on his WR250 so what's your excuse? ;)

[DRZ-SM]

WR= Awesome enduro bile
Muzz- awesome rider

DRZ = Road trail... tops our at 130 with the wind behind me
ME= shit rider

Good excusre?

[SMC690]

Fair enough excusre. You are forgiven ;)

[DRZ-SM]

Thank you master

[skivi]

oh wow rad little ride mate!

i want something similar when i can afford it. xr, drz, wrf, klx, excf (:P)...

mind you i did actually see the new 2007 ktm exc250f motarded with black excel rims parked on a nature strip in Brunswick the other day,
i was hanging out of my mates ute like a dog drooling everywhere.

[DRZ-SM]

Thanks mate!

[Sibbo]

Nice bike.

Does it come with a flat side carb or a cv?

[postie_moto]

only topping out at 130 doesn't make it a slow bike... not in the motard world... depends how fast you go around the twisties :D :evil:

nice bike drz250sm! i should have done that to my xr250 learner bike! pity i didn't know what a supermotard was back then :shock:

[SMC690]

Does it come with a flat side carb or a cv?

If that bike comes with a flatslide carb standard I'll lick my nuts on webcam and let you record it. :)

[SMC690]

Oh shit, it's got a Mikuni TM28SS which is a flatslide style carby.
I best book into hospital to get some ribs removed then. Doh.

[DRZ-SM]

Whoa Their you go i would of said just a mikiuni carby ahaha

Whats a flatside carb do as opposed to the other one that got mentioned?

It go fast enough through teh twsity for me to get pissed of at road bikes for holding me up

[tambi]

That DRZ looks cool

[SMC690]

Basically....

The slide in the flat slide is connected directly to your throttle cables. Where the slide opens to is directly related to how far you turn the throttle. Just pretend the cable is connected directly to the top of the slide for instance. Open the throttle the whole way and the slide opens the whole way. Instantly.

A CV carb has a a slide that is lifted by pressure built up in the carby. The cable is not directly attached to the slide. It has a diaphragm that the slide is attached to and as the pressure builds up the slide slowly lifts. Open the throttle wide open quickly and the slide eventually opens the whole way as the pressure builds up inside it.

That's the best I can do with the amount of beer I have had at the moment.

CV's are nice and smooth and are good for fuel economy and are built with emissions in mind. Flat slides are designed with performance in mind and not with economy or emissions.

There ya go.

[DRZ-SM]

Thanks mate

[Wobbly]

CV = boooooring
Flat side = yay :)

SMC625 = about to get violated on sibbo's webcam :shock:

If that bike comes with a flatslide carb standard I'll lick my nuts on webcam and let you record it. :)
:lol:
Camera, lights, ACTION!!!!! :shock:

The flat side carb would make it a cool bike to ride. Good purchase!

[DRZ-SM]

Haha Thanks.. Well There you go my DRZ just got even better in my eyes :)

Is the flat side carby the reason why the throttle is so twicthy? MY throttle snaps on..

Why does a dog lick it's nuts?
Because it can. :)

Yes, it's probably the reason why. My throttle bolts on, Snap on is a tool company and strap on......well, let's not go there. ;)

It's a dog's life.
A dog does that down the park and gets away with it and everybody laughs.
If I tired that down the local park I dare say I would get arrested. :)

Nice one Nick & Violet!
It's good to see your new 950SM greek style at last. ;)
That's a nice piece of road in the background, does everyone there drive in the middle of the road like that car in the picture? I hope not for your sake!

Thats how you want your throttle, when they are not twitchy, they are shit and boring. You will master it and be the master of it soon enough. Then you will be happy you have one!

Note the nice pillion pegs and grab rail around the back,
Better than an XR mudguard and a left foot resting on the swingarm, wiping the excess oil from the chain.
Enjoy Violet.
