Go back to mexico!!

I unfortunately don't think i'll be making the ride day on the 19th..

Had my first bike accident on monday night. Was riding home from my gf's parents place about 9:30, she was in front in her car. Coming down towards the bottom of cattai ridge rd in glenorie if anybody knows it, Pitch fkn black at night time, windey, very narrow and no street lights... well there was 2 HUGE black cows walking on the side of the road! She broke pretty hard but by the time i came up to them they were walking towards the middle of the road & saw them last second. Hit front brake tried to hook it right, front wheel lost traction and lowsided. My knee, helmet, and forearm bit the tarmac..Bike went sliding down the road about 20m or so. My gf in front turned around and was pretty hysterical, worse than me haha.

There's a few properties near where this happened so just trying to find out who owns these fkn cows and tell them what happened!

Ah well, bike will be fixed and i'll be right as rain soon. Every bike rider knows this will happen one day, im just glad it wasnt any worse. My jacket, gloves and helmet are scratched up and ripped my right knee outta my jeans..theres a 2m long mark on the road from my jeans, little bits of denim stuck in the tar haha.

Bike is in at Hawkesbury Honda getting quoted up for the repairs..

Jono

Yea Jono....Animals on the roads make me angry....I hit one a couple of years ago ;)

No not a typo.

It's a 1201 big bore GSXR motor in a 1981 Katana frame with GSXR usd forks, swinger, dash etc

Ahh, now it's making sense. I've got a big bore GSXR too. :( A Bandit 1200S. :P It's got the old oil/air cooled GSXR engine in it.

its faster and safer than ALMOST ALL bikes after the coin ove speant on it.

I said that once - the faster part, not the safer part - and someone told me to be quiet before I embarrassed myself further. They were right. I have a 1200cc bike that wheelies on demand, 10 years old but off the factory floor did 10.5 second quarter miles and 0-100 in 3.1 seconds. Can your GTR do that? What if I put a pipe and dyno jet kit on adding another 20% more power? I was out on a group ride the other day on this bike and compared to some of the bikes there I felt positively slow. Full noise forwards and R1's, GSXR 1000's cruise past me like I'm on my way to church.

That said, you are smart in that you know you can't save yourself ON the bike so you take yourself OFF it. Well done.

Yea Jono....Animals on the roads make me angry....I hit one a couple of years ago :D

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
