Fitting lock bar and camber arms with no prior experience. What a head f**k and a half. It was an easy job but f**king tight as f**k bolts made it hardddd

Didn't get enough time to lower front and paint brakes though :(

So 2 strokes are better than 4 stroke?

2 stroke are more powerful because they have a power stroke every two strokes of the piston, so 250cc is roughly equivalent to a 500cc 4 stroke. Cons: fuel needs to be mixed with oil, so they burn through that; two strokes need rebuilds more often; something of a narrow powerband.

Ah, bit like mower yeah?

Know much about the Ninjas?

Good/bad?

Good, very reliable. Still using the same engine (or at least an iteration of it) that they used in the GPX, which finished some ridiculous motorbike rally that apparently 90% of bikes don't finish and it was the only 250cc that finished. Talking from my memory here.

The four major Jap brands (Kawa, Honda, Suzi & Yam) are all hghly reliable, it's only finding something in good condition similar to purchasing any vehicle. Koreans are hit and miss, I've known a few to need new engines early on but my Hyosung lasted 45,000km and I completely thrashed it. European... Don't even bother unless you want it only for looks and will never ride it, or you are willing to spend the value of the bike again in repairs.

So to answer your question... Ninja's are good.

Lol watching jersey shore for the first time on mate, still have no clue what it's about but jesus these girls are so fkn stupid lol

Basically a bunch of guidos/american muzzas doing shit. I kinda like it tho lol but its so silly pinch.gif

Give me a Ducati or a TLR1000 any day of the week. Mates of mine have Duc's, no reliability issues to speak of other than complaints from neighbours :D

End of the day a v-twin just sounds wicked. Also the Jap bikes all going "bottom/mid side" exhausts atm looks shit house I reckon.

And before you get ya knickers in a knot, one of em have had plenty of jap bikes (and one still has a R1). Unless you wanna go out racing and going flat out everywhere... Looks good, sounds good, is good!

But they are farken expensive, but means you can pickup a 2-3yr old one and save fortune! :teehee:

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
