Pinned So what have you done to your bike today?

Took the exhaust off the new bike in preparation for a new Arrow slip on.
Popped into a bike shop and paid for the exhaust, waiting for it to be ready to pick up...

Shop called, exhaust ready to be picked up, sweet!
Turn up at the shop, attendant says "oh your friend picked it up just now"
Certainly no friend of mine!

Turns out, a random person (they didn't ask for a name or number) said he had an exhaust to pick up for his friends girlfriend so they assumed it was for me and gave him my shiny new exhaust

They are going to get me another tomorrow morning hopefully, but a weird day nonetheless haha

 

Haha i was waiting for the new exhaust before posting

But aye you've twisted my arm! I went for a ZX6R, felt a 1000 might be a bit too much for me

 

Just picked up my spare ZXR250 head, cleaned up and re-honed the cylinders, done by Nippon Performance in Brisbane.

Will be looking to lap the valves a little and swap onto the bike

Oliver's Motorcycles confirmed that they don't have a spare exhaust so are issuing a refund for the ZX6R exhaust that they gave away...

 

Shes registered 2014, MY15, i don't really know how that works though haha, 30th anniversary plastics

Ooh yeah the 675 is a wicked bike! Lovely intake sound from the triple too

Correct haha, nice to have one (hopefully) reliable bike and then the 250 can have a bit more care rather than rushing to get it on the road again all the time!

Olivers have given me a refund too so that exhaust saga is put to bed for now

 

Done a bit more rooting on the fzr today and picked up this beauty . Anyone any guesses what it is ? Been heavily modified and dosent run currently but I'm hopeful I'll get it sorted . Biggest 2t I've got so far

That's right , very uncommon bike to find here in Ireland

Another customer bike. 2003 CBR600RR. When hot it won't rev above a few thousand RPM.

Cause: Rusted out fuel tank, clogged pickup screen and high pressure filter.

Problem: High pressure filter is part of the regulator assembly and is not sold separate from the entire fuel pump assembly. Pump assembly is $966 from Honda. Aftermarket pump replacement kits do not include a high pressure filter/regulator body.

Same story with the Suzuki's as it's a very similar pump, but at least they sell the regulator body sometimes. Doesn't help that they call it a regulator and has no mention of the high pressure filter at all.

This one might be another candidate for a bypass modification and external fuel filter fitted to the fuel line.

Tank will be sent off for treatment and lining.

 

Rebuilding a big bore CB500K engine.

It had a backyard rebuild but the crank and bearings were junk. Another serviceable crank supplied by the customer, rebuild with new bearings (all greens across the mains and rods, nice consistency). Wiseco piston kit and head gasket. Currently waiting on new ignition counterweight assembly for the crank as the original is worn, damaged and not serviceable.

 

Synched up the carbs on the VTR250. I should have taken a before picture, because they were out a fair bit. Chalk and cheese cracking the throttle response now.

 

A bit off topic but does anyone know if there is a code on the ignition barrel of an fzr250 I have lost my key to my good petrol tank but I have the ignition barrel from the bike that I got the tank off of . Thank you

I went through not having a key - the ignition key/lock can be disassembled and the actual key barrel removed (be careful of the wafers as they've got springs underneath them) and with a key blank and a file you can make a new key.

I'm not sure if there's a key number on the ignition switch unit itself.

 

Thanks for the reply lad , sounds like I've got myself in for some more work so . I was hoping i was just missing a small stamp or something on the barrell
