Daymn forgot to look at the forum for a day,

N I have a wealth of knowledge already... :D

thanks to you guys.....

Gook and Revhead,

I'm currently looking around with a mate, for a Cbr250RR.

Price range is around the $4 to $5k mark for second hand.

I'm trying to get it in Yellow n Black .

I'll be going for the course test in about 3 weeks time, then do the L test.

Eric, Whats the clothes doing on the wall..??

Have u still got ur bike...??

Did you have bad experience on it.??

Care to share if you did...!!!

Oh if you see an add for a CBR for sale, can you let me know as well..

cheers

I have a 92 zxr250c & if you want a more race oriented bike get one of these or a cbr250rr, dont bother with the single r unless its really good value they are more a nanna's bike, although still better than a across or the like! The zxr feels slightly bigger so if you a bigger lad maybe better. As for the power of a big ie: litre class bike revhead is right, i had a ride or 2 on a mates cbr900 a couple of days ago & the first ride just blew me away with how much acceleration they have, & how easy to whellie. To give you an idea, 2nd gear @ 100km's flick the clutch & feed the power on & up she comes, it's just awesome fun & this is a 94 model so would be down a little on power compared to Revheads929 or a R1!

xr250's are great fun...

do you go trail biking alot?

i am thinking of taking that up instead of riding on the road seeing that i've always had bad experiences on the road...

what kinda bike would i be looking at if i wanted something with a bit of grunt and could go trailing with?

I heard the WR400's are alrite....

Yeah go trail riding heaps man... Its really fun, especially when you got a few mates with you as well... Also riding on trails will improve your road riding big time....

The WR's are good bikes you might want to look at the Xr400's you can get 2000 models between 4 and 5k....

Cheers.! :uh-huh:

Get a v-twin for your first big bike. Smooth power delivery, low down torque, no crazy black lines when you get on the gas.

Japs make some good ones but go straight for a Ducati. It'll save you realising years later that you should have bought one first up. :P

hey lepperfish - cool avatar (your profile picture)

I don't recognise either of these models (zxr250 and go for a CBR250RR) are they off road bikes?

I have a CR250 (Honda 2 stroke - MX bike) but want to get a 4 stroke at the end of the year when all the new ones come out over here.

I have just done an enduro race today and could have done a lot better on a 4 stroke due to the conditions - MX bike really are better for MX riding than enduro but I will make due until I can get a 4 stroke

:uh-huh:

this is me all nice and clean before the start :P

by the time I had finished and been in every bog there, I didn't look so clean :) fortunately I managed to stay on the bike most of the day :D

I just bought a Suzuki Across... being a chick's bike and all, slow but very light, so really easy to learn on... got her for just under 4k with good mileage, immaculate paint job (which i've now deflowered) jacket and a spare helmet. Got told over the weekend that the Across's are the crappest learners bike, but I'm not having too many dramas, apart from having to clutch start it when i left the boot open - yes, there is a boot or helmet holder type thing, so good for my handbag, lip gloss and stuff...

I've already dropped her a few times, so don't spend too much money on your first bike, especially if you need a valium after putting even a tiny scratch on her.

Another option is the ZZR250 and I'm partial to the GPX250... happy riding, see you on the roads soon!! If you do the pre-learners course at Clyde, pray for Frank as your instructor as the other guy is mean!!! And screams if you give his bikes a bit... but it's easy as a hooker on William Street and if they passed me, they'll pass you!

Good luck son!! Once you get it, you won't want to get off... and you'll be contemplating upgrading after about a week. I'm already thinking of an R6... I'm off to go for another ride!

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
