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!

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
