and if ya gonna do it, then don't wimp out on it :P

seriously though, towing the equivalent of an enclosed car float or potentially a horsefloat.. this addition has a solid 3500kg towing capacity, which a lot of new vehicles are also currently rated for, but this comes with the extra cab and tray space to do the business till the enclosed trailer gets built...

and a great mate of mine asked..Its a really nice truck, but is it what you Need?...My response..."yes I think it is...." :P

We all need toys...

**Kimbo** · 06-07-2015, 04:15 PM

Glued on tank protectors, was able to mix and match rearsets and shift rods to get race change, organised to have suspension done in two weeks , just in time for Darwin. Sorry no pics, Check Marshy's photo for the tank guards

**Kris** · 07-07-2015, 09:18 AM

Start to fit some body work...

Upgraded my rec. Lic to senior national, going to get a couple of ride days in to see how I'm traveling then some race your mates and ARDC practice days, then hopefully early next year I'll get into some D grade races.

Also reinstalling the repaired fairings on the bike, getting some Lockwire started and a oil change while I'm at it.
Should I flush the coolant out now? Or wait until I start ARDC days? It's not required for ride days but prob early a good to start now ???

If you give it a light flush (more like just drain the coolant and refill it with distilled water), you'll make people happy in the event of a spillage whilst still protecting the engine from rust etc. A touch of coolant still in the system is ok for anything but racing. Just remember to properly flush it before your first race meet.

Remember people, never ever let tap water anywhere near your coolant system and you'll never have any problems with rust. Once you've put tap water in it, it's a lot of flushing to ensure it's all out again. Distilled/demineralised water is cheep cheep from Bunnings in 3 litre containers. Before racing, buy a few containers and flush for a while with the motor running (pour demineralised water in the radiator, while the drain hole on the water pump is open, and the engine is running). The bike only holds a couple of litres (less than you might think), so it's not expensive to do.

**Marshy** · 17-07-2015, 08:19 PM

Fitted up a small brembo reservoir and a KurveyGirl bracket, to get the clearance needed between the fairing and reservoir.

Checked the damage done by my mechanical incident at wakey yesterday... looks like i will walk away without major damage. I am very lucky.

Just the cast boss for 1 of the 3 front sprocket cover mounts has been broken off, usually this takes a chunk of the crankcase with it. My cases are still oil tight and sealed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

**Turbo** · 20-07-2015, 08:05 PM

Call that a broken sprocket??? Pfffft!!

Glad to hear you got away without too much damage mate!

**Carl-52** · 20-07-2015, 08:09 PM

one tooth gone from the front, and half the teeth on the rear are now half the thickness they should be!! (with the other half bent off at a funny angle) im just thankful that it only sheared off the mount and that it didnt take the crankcase with it. It usually ends up looking like this when the cover mount gets snapped off index.jpg

**Little Mick** · 20-07-2015, 08:12 PM

very lucky for you and all those around you at the time Carl.. I know Joe was very thankful it didn't break through the cases....

**Carl-52** · 20-07-2015, 08:15 PM

even looking at the oil filter on there, the chain has put a hole in it along with the giant gouge. But no oil left the system, at all. My swingarm is all marked up now though... Battle scars!

**Carl-52** · 20-07-2015, 09:50 PM

might just leave it. the bike has enough marks everywhere else, dont want to make it too pretty or ill be scared to go faster.

**Little Mick** · 20-07-2015, 10:06 PM

did someone say character???

**Kimbo** · 20-07-2015, 10:49 PM

Picked my RSV4 up from SACHS to KTECH suspension

Gee tough audience

**Turbo** · 21-07-2015, 09:46 AM

Ooooft!! That's gorgeous!!
nice work mate.

Tried em yet? I love my K-Techs.

**Kimbo** · 21-07-2015, 09:48 AM

Not yet , it will be on the truck to Darwin next week for BEARS racing . the standard suspenion is very strange, shock was soft then stopped . the front had springs that had the first 4 coils solid,

**Leezx10r** · 21-07-2015, 10:12 AM

Nice work Kimbo!

**Kimbo** · 21-07-2015, 10:35 AM

Thanks Leanne

**Turbo** · 21-07-2015, 04:09 PM

Eeep! Sounds weird. Look forward to hearing how she runs!

**Ruckos87** · 22-07-2015, 06:34 PM

Finally got theFarings on, couldebt start the bike. Released had the tip switch on upside down.... Even though there's a Massive arrow pointing up.

, did a few laps of my test area,

1st time riding a bike since my crash. I loved it, not sure my neighbours did so much. Had to adjust the Cilpons a touch. Which got me thinking where do people test ride there track bikes? In the street and run the risk? At work (luckily I can) or do you just wing it until you get to the track?

Bolt on HPpower vs speed.jpg bike before me 181hp me 71.1hp -> 74.19hp but nice spread ... bit worried that playing around I've lost my 10,000 rev limiter

Oh and engine testing on a dyno ... doesn't have to be about power

This. Thought about a lot of other options, but have always decided it wasn't worth the risk. If you build them right, they normally work fine when you get to the track. I'd absolutely love to have a test track tho, especially for suspension tuning!

so that would be a massive arrow pointing DOWN

**Carl-52** · 23-07-2015, 09:54 AM

Test track is our uber long driveway, and possibly the road if its a quiet day during work hours.

**Kimbo** · 23-07-2015, 10:29 AM

well the last 2 RSV4's have been run in at track , as I got them unregistered,

**Binksy** · 23-07-2015, 11:06 AM

I trailer the bike to a quiet country road and give it a run out in the first 3-4 gears. Let it get nice and hot so I can check for oil leaks and the like.

But I live in Canberra so it's like a 15min trailer ride to a quiet stretch of road......

**Leezx10r** · 23-07-2015, 07:18 PM

DID 520 EVR chain, 42T renthal sprocket

**Ruckos87** · 06-08-2015, 03:57 PM

Numbers, a slight colour change, some carbon and some tax deductions stickers . Pretty happy with it, we did manage to conceal a few recent scratches...

After my little excursion off T1 at Wakey. Lucky to get away with minimal damage.

Time for some fiberglass and new paint job I think

**Turbo** · 11-08-2015, 07:45 PM

Woah! Bit of off roading??

How was the damage? Other than the mud, she doesn't look too bad...

**Marshy** · 11-08-2015, 07:46 PM

Mostly just mud, by the look. Very lucky! Looks like it was due for paint anyway.....

**Craig** · 11-08-2015, 07:59 PM

Few cracks in the fairings, slight bend in the frame slider... that's it. Was definitely due for paint.... So just the excuse I needed lol!!!
