He was talking about bike gearboxes Pat...not a good idea to do it in synchromesh car gearboxes. You can get away with it but it will wear the dog teeth on your synchros faster.

You can get a "quickshift" for motorbikes that cuts your ignition momentarily as opposed to you rolling off the throttle during a gear change, it's suppose to make clutchless upshifting much smoother. Personally I just use the clutch..it's still fast as hell and you're talking tenths of a second in difference between clutch and no clutch. The slowest part of changing gears in a car is the gearshift itself, which is negated by how quickly you can change gears using a foot lever on a bike...as long as your hands are quick you can be fast with the clutch.

You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

The GPX was the only 250cc bike to complete some notoriously hard 10,000km rally that most bikes can't finish without breaking down, if I recall correctly. Can't find the info on it but I think it finished 9th overall, out of like 100 bikes.

i made that mistake too...

but i'm going for an old ninja... when i find the cash..

eh tj, how reliable are they?

So far so good, old issue I had recently was a fried spark plug and a small issue with the carb, but that's becuse i put 98 fuel to clean out the system so drained that all out, kinda jammed the jets in the carb. Other than that I ride this thing hard as!

If you kinda on the heavy side, the rear is a little soft or my shocks are gone, next thing I have to look at, bikes done 18,000 think their due anyway

All depends, if things have been replaced and the majority of the bikes engine is under 10, why not, I got mine at 14000 for $2800 the dude even rode it from Geelong to drop it off :)

probably start shopping for a bike next week

Anything in particular to watch out for? Or just the same as inspecting a car?

Try and take someone with you who knows bikes, they are a different breed. Some guy put up a good guide in here: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/391934-bike-inspection-tonight/

      Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!

      Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.

      Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.

      Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
