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.

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
