Well I got it last night after work.

First impressions are it's incredible.

It's beatiful to look at up close. The fit and finish is very good for a suzuki.

Not quite Yamaha, or Honda quality but they are getting there.

The stock exhaust sounds awesome! The best stocky i've ever heard, and it looks horn just like a motogp style exhaust.

The engine is still very tight i'm not supposed to go over 6000 revs to begin with. I went up to 7000 last night and wanted to keep going but i need to bed all the parts in before i start going balistic.

Damn it's a good bike.

So anyone that wants someone to go riding with just let me know.

But i'll still be coming to SAU south australian events.

Dad also got a new bike yesterday.

A new Yamaha FZ1.

It's an R1 engine from 2006 in a more upright semi naked bike.

The engine is tuned a little differently and has much more mid range than an R1.

It's pretty damn nice though, i went for a quick ride last night.

Thanks for the offer, but i love the flickabilitly of the 750 plus it has more than enough power for my skill level.

Makes me laugh when people equate cc of a bike to rider level skill. If your a noob on a 250, your a noob on a 1000cc.

Rider training is worth its weight in skin....gold...i meant gold :happy:

Not having a go at all...

I just dont agree with people who seem to think cc of a bike should = skill level. Look at the learners who are too physically big to ride 250cc for a first bike *Looks at Tangles* :kiss: (what was your first bike there?)

A 1000cc bike is no different to a smaller cc bike...except 2 things. Weight and revs...

Someone who isnt accustomed to riding (not yourself) would more likely get on a 600cc bike say, and ring the nuts off it thinking it wont be bad, because its only a mid size bike :happy:

Wish i had a dollar for all the noobs ive heard of getting on a mid size cc bike and doing 160 on the street in the flick of a wrist...yet they wouldnt jump on an R1 say and attempt the same, just cause its a 1000cc....

Well i have no problem jumping on any bike a ringing the neck off of it.

Like i said, the 600's lack torque down low, and i love the how well the 750 turns.

Like most magazines have said, it has almost the power of a litre bike and handles as well a 600. So that too me is a perfect bike.

Zx-14 is good for one thing... country miles.

The new ZX-6R just came in and looks great. I might have a test ride on it this weekend.

Bl4cK32 in regards to your earlier comment having a smaller bike i beleive does boost your confidents. On the 600's i've cracked the throatle coming out of corners and it's just powered out. Where as when i tried the same thing on a zx-10r on the same corner, it started to do a massive drift. And that affects ones confidence. It meant when riding i was more timid about opening the throttle right up.

This was about 3 years ago though.

Yer i agree with learning on smaller cc bikes, no arguments.

Its always good to progress to larger bikes. In fact SA should follow the other states with 250cc restrictions (2stroke racers - which i learnt on (and still own :D) then have another licence for say 600cc then above...

All should come with proper rider training, not the "sit on the bike with it turned off, and let someone push u across the range" that they do currently...

Well had my first hills ride and proper ride on the bike on Saturday.

And hell it was good fun.

I didn't feather my tires right to the edge, and my lines were all over the place. But it felt great to get back out there.

Now just need to get back into rythem.

    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
    • Assuming your brake pads are not worn right down, I'd add a little brake fluid. Is there any sign of a brake fluid leak?
    • Hello all,  I need of some help. On my drive home my handbrake light lit up and started flashing. When I got home I checked my handbrake sensor under the centre console and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. I have scanned my car via the consult port, no codes shown. Checked my brake fluid as well which is half full. Tried unplugging the brake master but it didn't change anything. Thoughts on what it could be? The master float doesn't seem to be stuck. My car is an 1998 ER34 sedan GT. No hicas but has ABS Photos below 👇🏾
