I will join you guys... Just answer me pls

/bikelinesaustralia brahs, want to post up / pm me rough costs for picking up and starting down the road of motorbikes? E.g. rego, insurance, gear, maintenance? Getting keen again. Have researched a bit but always good to here more accounts & opinions.

Thinking of standard learner bikes like ninja 250, VTR250, or gs500f... not the fastest I think, but still cool and good resale?

I should probably save my money... But live it up while I'm young and get one anyway? XD

Even if I go through with it - couldn't afford a Ninja 300... would love one though :'(

Yea just get a ninja 250 or something like that to learn on for a year wont loose much money, rego is like 400 bucks for a 250 and insurance just get third party which is probably like $150.

Gear wise you'll need helmet $300-500 (mine was like 480, could spend upto 1k if you want, depends what fits and feels good), kevlar jeans like $200, jacket is $4-500, gloves $50-130 and I'd recommend getting some boots when you can afford them say $200-250 for normal ones. TBH gear really depends on what you want to spend, but personally i'd set aside 1-1.5k for gear.

Pretty much summing up what I thought the costs would be like! Looking pretty positive so far :D

And hoping can get one with decent amount of rego so I can avoid paying that even / getting absorbed in bike budget.

With insurance, is there a difference between third party, and theft? Noticed insuremyride separates the two...?

Did you buy your gear online?

Ninja 250 tempting. OR do I go oldschool boyracer (boyrider) and gamble with a CBR250RR (not thrashed at all )xD

3rd party, you hit someone else your insurance company will pay for their damages but not yours. Theft, your vehicle is stolen, they'll pay you out for agreed or market value depending on your contract.

guys, me need your help with a school research project, its on energy saving and stupid shit like that.

would appreciate if you guys would fill out this survey, i need about 10-20 respondents.

Alvin, you seem to have skipped inputting multiple answers for one of the questions....

What temperatures is the air conditioning set for normally?

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • 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
