You're northern suburbs right? We'll head up Mountain Highway one day/night, it's about 10 mins from me and I'm 30 from the CBD, you'll love it, trust me.

No idea where that is will need to google map it. I'm sure it's fun for you you'll just leave us noobs behind -.-

Haha nah mate, I can ride fast in my own time, riders look after each other, it'll be very nice and easy for you if we go up there.

FWIW, 250s tend to do better on these tight curves, being lighter.

My mate said the same thing when we rode to Yea... Caught up to him after he'd been stopped for ~10 minutes...

As for 250's being quicker due to lightness, unlikely.. Unless it's am experienced rider on the 250 and a noob on the big bike... I was topping out at 150 on the straights while they did 150 through the bends..

Bigger tires, bigger brakes, more power etc etc

This ain't Yea though, you can't go any faster than 30-40km/h through a lot of these corners - there are some serious hairpins and the bigger bikes are hard to pull around them at any decent speed. The lightness of a 250 allows a tighter turning circle and you don't have to put as much leverage on the bike to get it turning sharp. Obviously rider skill plays more of a part in being faster, I'm just saying that his bike won't be holding him back around the curves.

Will try and get some GoPro footage of me doing a run up there, I've been meaning to for a while.

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
