w00t. have ceffy. in brissy. can drive places.

fuck you mr bus driver man for your shitty service and unreliable times. fuck you public transport. fuck you by my middel finger.

id just like to say, i fell very very very lucky

i broke my front brake lever (at speed) when a car pulled out in front of me

i dodged the car by crossing into the on coming lane (with no brake of course)

then had to nail it to get back into my lane in time so i didnt hit an on coming car

then i had to brake again cause i was going very very fast by now and with no front brake i only had the rear (on the bike of course)

i nailed it and down geared when i hit a patch of gravel left in the middle of the road to which the bike started to go low side

some how i managed to pull her back up with a bit of throttle flicking rocks everywhere and then slowlly pull the bike up to a stop at a red light

so now i am faced with having to ride the rest of the way home with just the rear brake (which is ok as i can just take it easy)

and i ride nice and casual and slow home giving heaps of distance from the cars in front, guess what

the cars in front of me have a pile up do to a run away dog and I had so much space i could come to a halt easily

if i were to be riding as per usuall that might have been a close call..

someone was watching over me :bunny:

thats one way to look at it

i ordered the part that failed, the little bolt that goes through the handle and hold the lever on...

bloody $11

what a rip off for a little bolt... :down:

It's a rip off til the $5 bolt you bought instead breaks.

:)

yeah i was not going to accept second hand or even a bolt that fits...

i wanted genuine kawasaki parts, as this is one of the most important parts on he entire bike...

$11 is not much, thats like 3 chai latte's :ermm:

just called the bike shop, damn part is still not there yet... I wanta go for a ride damn it... :D

ps. hey nice shrek/kung fu panda Dan

damn you, why taunt me like that :)
Haha sorry, couldn't resist :D

Nah I feel your pain, I was without my bike for a while (a long while...) and every time I saw one ride past I'd get that "damn you..." feeling lol

im getting my bike license sick of getting the bus into the city every day
Yeah it rocks. I save a stack of time getting to work each day I ride in, if nothing else being able to use the T3 lane (Lutwyche Rd) helps a lot! And there's always parking spots :D

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
