Reply With QuoteDidn't you have yrt suspension already?
I wont show before and after pics because it will make me sad at how much I'm spending to get it all fixed up. Its actually not that bad
I came off on at the 4 hour enduro race at wakefield park after Nelso's bike blew up and spat oil all over turn 10.
My bike slid into Dan's bike as well. Not too bad damage, come in fix it up and went out again. The rain decided to spoil the party and went down into 5. That just made everything that was already damaged worse.
Was not the best of races as I came in first in D grade 600 on the Saturday. Pretty happy with the efforts this year so far considering its my proper first race season where I didn't bin it on the qualifying session.
Bike came back and I started work straight away. Stripped it all down and lucky to find that the GB covers came without damage! Score!!
List of things broken;
fairing stay
clip ons
rear rim has a dent
rearset pieces
and some fairing damage
Marshy's clip ons does the job and no hesitation to order 2 replacement sets! They didn't snap on impact but bent instead which is good!
Dent in the rear wheel.. Off to Alderton's to get repaired. Rim from metro cost $350!
Got a spare set of rims for the R6 as well off ebay with discs and cush drives!
My tyre warmers were burning out as well. They were the non digital Kaneg ones.. I wonder if I should buy another set from Pete or just get ones like Kelly has which are the Emtek ones that seem to work fine and decent-ish materials.
Fairing stay off the Baxter's Engineering to get welded whilst I ordered a china made stay. For $50 bucks and $30 to weld, can't go too far wrong..
Ordered replacement bits from IMS for the Gilles tooling rearsets. Beauty about these are you can order individual pieces to fix whatever that is broken.
Also spoke to Stewie from SW Racing. My stock suspension components are not quite keeping up anymore. Bit the bullet and dropped some coin for these
Now we wait and hopefully will be back out on the track in 2 to 3 weeks time! I've booked in for more Bernie Hatton's coaching in September! Looking forward to that!

Yes they did the job they were designed for.
Hopfully the bouncy bits work better with me and I can go faster!!
riding fast is a mind game!
if new suspension gives your brain confidence then it's money well spent

09
Got some fairings fitted up.. looks like a bike now
Also Aldo did a great job fixing up the rear wheel. Phew money saved as opposed to a new second hand wheel. Will post up a pic when I take one
Still got it, Ed? I'll take it off your hands....

Believe it or not sold it not too long ago... I had on ebay for ages and no one ever bought it. Had it on the sister site and etc... not a bite. Same thing on FX. Then I put it on ebay and it sold in like 2hs! Go figure.
Aldo wheel all fixed.. nothing that man cant do

he sure is
These are in the mail on the way to me!!
Nice!

Yes love them levers...
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
but be aware you need to buy as an extra the piece needed to activate the a clutch switch if the R6 has one???
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
Disconnected that switch for the clutch so it will start in any gear.
My mechanic did that for me on the suziDisconnected that switch for the clutch so it will start in any gear.
however I have since discovered that it puts the ECU in safe mode and I only get 75% power. bloody gixxers, I am going to have to re-activate it tonight
wheee got them levers today in the mail..
fukkkk they look nice!
hooray!
The suspension is off to Stewie..
Work your wonders!!
You need to install a relay to trick the ECU. I've done it on mine. When in back on my computer ill find a link explaining how to do it and post it up.
do a burnout
It's real easy. Probably cost $5 in total with the parts from Jaycar.

Thanks Dan, I am a retard with electrics, I bought a rocker switch intending to do the fan mod..
plastic bag from jaycar remains unopened. still trying to figure out how to get rid of my LH switchblock
I just went through that link and it solves both of my problems. I will give it a go next week (I have already paid for Friday so actually want to make it out on track)
mechanical stuff doesn't bother me however (go figure) I rebuilt my RS125 gearbox with a haynes manual but wiring a switch = a big no-no

Stewie called and said my forks are getting done tonight and I've asked him to pretty please post it via express so I can try to get in on the upcoming ARDC day.
Can't wait to try the new bouncy bits and the new tyres..
Gonna be a good day if I can get in on the Friday to set up my bike since it will be a lot quieter
I don't think at any point it renders the bike unstartable so I would recommend giving it a bash and see how you go - especially if the other option is only 75% power!
These turned up at work today.. It was a nice surprise.. I can get to work on the bike now.
