Was kinda bored and since i saw a fair few people here have mentioned riding motorbikes and what not, I thought I'd start a thread and see what sort of bikes people ride seeing as its summer and the weather has been awesome for riding...

licence:

years riding:

bike:

other:

PIC!!!

To get the ball rolling here is mine,

licence: L's

years riding: 1yr 2mnths (i should really go for p's huh?)

bike: honda cbr250r

other: lots of custom stuff...

:wave:

You either love it or hate it, I'm in the middle as i only did the camo so it'll appeal to a younger person when I sell it, and it is something different I guess... next bike is definitely gonna be a combination of black and matte black all round.

Now lets see what you like between your knees? :)

Been riding for about 20 years

Used to ride this till I hit a car doing 100ks plus

2006 Triumph rocket 3(had mild cams,triple air filters,tune boy and a lock up clutch)It used to pull a mean power wheelie. :)

I now ride this little naked 02 955i Daytona

And a trusty Shark RSF lid :)

I wear Shark lids also. Saved my noggin more than once. If you're ever out on a Friday night, most of us meet at West Tce BP after 8.30pm.

oops, how did that get in there?

IMG_2912a.jpg

im keen to start riding...absolutely NO idea about anything when it comes to bikes, but looks wise, the 250 ninja looks tempting :) wud any1 recommend it for a beginner ?

Honda CBR250R "baby blade"

Kawasaki ZXR250 "baby ninja"

They're good bikes if you like the sporty looking models. You'll need to apply to sit thru the learners course thru Transport SA/Services SA.

And for God's sake, get some decent protective clothing if you're going to be riding. :cool: I'm seeing endless twats this summer in nothing but t-shirts and shorts :D

10yrs riding

no bike atm as knees too sore

1st: farm bike 175cc

2nd: road kawasaki GPZ 250

3rd: Kawasaki ZX7-R

4th: Kawasaki ZX9-R

5th: Honda CBR900RR

spent shitloads on the Fireblade. was a road rego'd superbike :D

spent shitloads on the Fireblade. was a road rego'd superbike :cool:

Spent shit loads on my TLR. I stopped counting the $ long ago. The exhaust system alone was $3K for titanium Yoshimura race system! Nearly $3K for the brake upgrade! Suspension? ... won't go there.

I've spent $2K for the Ohlins shock on the Brutale, and a further $2K in carbon and crash protection. :D

Brutale will be up for sale next month. Anyone got $18K to spend? I'm basically getting nothing back on the upgrades/mods.

    • 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.
