Next track/race bike build - it's GREEN!!

[Stu23]

coming along very nicely

[Mr.Ed]

Are you going to run stock gearing?

[Marshy]

Are you going to run stock gearing?

No, but I'm having terrible trouble getting the front sprocket off, even with my rattle gun at full power. I've just ordered a $1k compressor, which should take care of it. MORE POWAH!!!

[Little Mick]

I did too Marshy... secret was to take it to a local mechanic (automotive) an use their 3/4" drive rattle gun..Super cheap also have 750mm breaker bars which may help in getting it off..

[Mr.Ed]

Yep, I believe that's where Godzilla works now that he's no longer making movies... tightening front sprockets at Kawasaki. Oggy and I gave it God knows how many tries with his suppa duppa compressor and got NOTHING. I tried it at home with a mate using an incredibly long lever and gave up 'cause it was starting to get too dangerous. Then had a certain green mechanic try it and even he struggled with it but managed to remove it in the end.

The word on the street is 15-44 @ EC and 14-44 @ WP.

Also, personally, I'd suggest to go with a 190 rear.

[Mr.Ed]

Also, put some tank protectors on it... cheap insurance for a bike that has a tank almost as exposed as the R6's one.

[Saturnalian]

I don't know but Rattle gun and motorcycle scares me, a lot....

[Little Mick]

me too Jamie- need to have gearbox in Neutral... and stand on the rear brake (doesnt always hold) or place a 4x2 and rags throught wheel (prefer the brake with the big impact)....

even after it has been removed, they are a bitch to remove....

[chubb]

I prefer the 4x2 through the wheel with a rattle. I just use a 18v mikita cordless.. no space for kompressor.

I also purchased some fold up levers.. keen for them to be fitted!!

[Mr.Ed]

Yep. I'm all for parts that allow you to keep going... fold up levers and those folding toe pegs are a must if you tend to lean over your bike more than you should.

[Marshy]

It arrived. Faark me, it's huge!! And heavy, at 82kg.

[chubb]

Ooooh nice!

[Baddie]

PMSL.... Big enough

[Little Mick]

I Like!!!

what CFM?

[Marshy]

I Like!!!

what CFM?

Kincrome Air Compressor 3HP 100L Belt Drive

• F.A.D. at 90 PSI: 335 LPM (11.8 CFM)
• Max Working Pressure: 10 BAR (145 PSI)
• 240V, 15 Amp
• 3 HP Electric Motor
• Twin Cylinder
• Belt Drive
• 100 Litre Tank

And as soon as I sort out a 15A power point (didn't think of that when I ordered it....), I can fire it up!

[Mr.Ed]

Well, if that can't move the sprocket you might have to contact 'Stark Industries' hahaha

[Little Mick]

noice one..

[Little Mick]

dont you just love any excuse to buy more tools!!!

[Marshy]

[chubb]

[Little Mick]

looks remarkable like my shed.....NOT

[Marshy]

When you gonna open up your own garage then???

I think I already have.....

[Team Zero]

Wow that is awesome. I'm inspired to do some work to the shed over Xmas.

[Little Mick]

Tis very noice....

[dan]

Love the compressor! Going to make my rear brake über cool as well

[Medic!]

You can,do truck tyres as a side earner now.

[Baddie]

Sold it yet?

[Marshy]

Just finished up doing some tyre changes for some Tarmac lads, and then mounted the rear tail to the green meanie. The only thing left to do is glue the seat pad on, then it's ready to roll!! Photos tomorrow hopefully, if I can get the seat done.

Besides, I need to make room in the shed....

[Mr.Ed]

What can possibly be coming that would justify you 'make room' for by selling the Zed??

[Baddie]

'Besides, I need to make room in the shed'...

For what??

[chubb]

I think the saying is the more the merrier

[dan]

Keen to see the finished product. Does this mean we might see it on Friday?

[Marshy]

Now there's something to aim for!

[Marshy]

Here it is! (Minus the front sprocket cover, pending the new sprocket's arrival).

[BoB]

Looks nice , so nice i could be tempted of going green ... slap to the head ... Its a kwaka ... senses now working normal.

[senator8]

looks the business. Very pretty bike

[Medic!]

[chubb]

Very nice bike!! Nice scheme too!

[tempest]

Nice.

Why no link pipe to get rid of the cat?

[Mr.Ed]

Nice.

Why no link pipe to get rid of the cat?

+1!!!!!

[Baddie]

Nice...
Need to piss them red rim stripes off and make yourself some green ones.

[windy]

Looks great mate. Awesome paint scheme

[chubb]

is that the old motogp scheme?

[Marshy]

Nice.

Why no link pipe to get rid of the cat?

Cos I couldn't find one cheaply and readily available. I did look!! There's some out of china, but the wait will be pretty long. Got any sources?? I don't have green inside info....

[Marshy]

Think so. I ordered these ages ago, and they've been sitting waiting for inspiration.....

[Marshy]

Good idea. It wasn't until I rolled it out for the photos that I realised how odd the red stripes looked! They are nice, reflective stripes; good for the road but not so useful on the track.

I love the contrast of the red rim stripes actually.. haha
