Surprised someone hasn't created a motorbike with a long range tank on it for touring...something 50-60L etc.

Wouldn't that be an extra 60kg above the center of gravity?

If that bike gets laid down, there's no way the 65yo retirees who would own such a cruiser would be able to pick it up without a support crew.

Mount it low and improve the balance!

Saw a learner getting someone to help him get his 250 off the ground the other day. They really should teach learners how to do that by themselves at the course...

E85 used to be unquestionably worth the dollars even with same power levels, because it was cheaper or at least on par with 98 for running costs and the engine ran happier/safer on it

Now only really worth it if you have a substantial increase in power and midrange from it, which you now pay for with the higher cost

I usually switch to 98 in winter for easier starts and range

Do like a mid-drive refuel. Requires support vehicle.

went to winton last year, left with full tank and five jerry cans @ 22l each. Total of 175lt. i didn't participate in the last session coz i cooked the brakes and still had to stop just before i got home and top up to make sure i made it. I easily burn over 100l at sandown which is just down the road. On track, usage is close to 1km/l   #E85life #emptywallet #needunitedshares

I've put 98 in a few times just to purge/clean the fuel system and felt like punching myself in the nuts every time. Engine is so much smoother and lively on ethanol. i'd rather pay the premium but United are still price gouging kents.

A9X torana drop tank is what you need. That's additional to your standard tank :) Has the R finished being tuned yet?

A9X is my inspiration of course, why wouldn't you use it for a inspiration?

Tuner said it's close to being finished - need to do some cold starts he said.

    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.

    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same.
