had a 2006 250 gpx kawasaki.... when i realised i couldnt keep it under 80 and hills were scary when you mis judged a corner and there isnt much room for error when your a foot away from a rail or a rock wall i sold it. bought my r32 gtr.... its faster and safer than ALMOST ALL bikes after the coin ove speant on it. plus it brings alot more joy to my heart in owning it!

be safe! that is to all bike owners and riders! may you all have more self control than me :P

peace

you have my dream bike...

dont you dare post up various pics and tell me what you think about it as a daily rider

Worst daily ever. with the mods that are on it it's hard to do the speed limit. haha good for a 600 anyway

its damn good for a 600... there isnt much else in its cc range that will stick with it

and you have it in kawa green too, looks real good.

hopefully by the time i pick one up in june/july, the price will drop under 10k for an '05... hopefully

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

Chris, I don't see you posting in the event I posted for us? Get to it!

so it runs quicker than 10.007 on the street must be a f**ken fast r32 buddy .

    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
    • OK, so regardless of whether you did Step 1 - Spill Step 2 - Trans pan removal Step 3 - TCM removal we are on to the clean and refill. First, have a good look at the oil pan. While you might see dirty oil and some carbony build up (I did), what you don't want to see is any metal particles on the magnets, or sparkles in the oil (thankfully not). Give it all a good clean, particularly the magnets, and put the new gasket on if you have one (or, just cross your fingers) Replacement of the Valve body (if you removed it) is the "reverse of assembly". Thread the electrical socket back up through the trans case, hold the valve body up and put in the bolts you removed, with the correct lengths in the correct locations Torque for the bolts in 8Nm only so I hope you have that torque wrench handy (it feels really loose). Plug the output speed sensor back in and clip the wiring into the 2 clips, replace the spring clip on the TCM socket and plug it back into the car loom. For the pan, the workshop manual states the following order: Again, the torque is 8Nm only.
    • One other thing to mention from my car before we reassemble and refill. Per that earlier diagram,   There should be 2x B length (40mm) and 6x C length (54mm). So I had incorrectly removed one extra bolt, which I assume was 40mm, but even so I have 4x B and 5x C.  Either, the factory made an assembly error (very unlikely), or someone had been in there before me. I vote for the latter because the TCM part number doesn't match my build date, I suspect the TCM was changed under warranty. This indeed led to much unbolting, rebolting, checking, measuring and swearing under the car.... In the end I left out 1x B bolt and put in a 54mm M6 bolt I already had to make sure it was all correct
    • A couple of notes about the TCM. Firstly, it is integrated into the valve body. If you need to replace the TCM for any reason you are following the procedure above The seppos say these fail all the time. I haven't seen or heard of one on here or locally, but that doesn't mean it can't happen. Finally, Ecutek are now offering tuning for the 7 speed TCM. It is basically like ECU tuning in that you have to buy a license for the computer, and then known parameters can be reset. This is all very new and at the moment they are focussing on more aggressive gear holding in sports or sports+ mode, 2 gear launches for drag racing etc. It doesn't seem to affect shift speed like you can on some transmissions. Importantly for me, by having controllable shift points you can now raise the shift point as well as the ECU rev limit, together allowing it to rev a little higher when that is useful. In manual mode, my car shifts up automatically regardless of what I do which is good (because I don't have to worry about it) but bad (because I can't choose to rev a little higher when convenient).  TCMs can only be tuned from late 2016 onwards, and mine is apparently not one of those although the car build date was August 2016 (presumably a batch of ADM cars were done together, so this will probably be the situation for most ADM cars). No idea about JDM cars, and I'm looking into importing a later model valve body I can swap in. This is the top of my TCM A couple of numbers but no part number. Amayama can't find my specific car but it does say the following for Asia-RHD (interestingly, all out of stock....): So it looks like programable TCM are probably post September 2018 for "Asia RHD". When I read my part number out from Ecutek it was 31705-75X6D which did not match Amayama for my build date (Aug-2016)
