Pinned So what have you done to your bike today?

replaced the front piston seals in the 750, new 5.1 motul brake fluid and pressure bled after getting annoyed with normal bleed process.magic.

 

Hey Risky, how does the pressure bleed process work?

 

trigger gun ..that works in reverse so sucks out and draws fluid into closed container.

bought it from gray,s online.

 

Cool, sounds like a good thing to have....

 

yeah they rock - got one from trade tools direct new $50 - you end up with almost zero air in the brake lines

 

Set up had a beer with mate now just trying to relax

 

you racing today also @Mclaren ......my bike is still in pieces haha.....wanted it on the trailer last night......naaaa didn't happen, i tried to fix my crappy paint job and yep i made it worse....i need to learn to leave things alone!

 

Don't feel too bad Moo, we all do it at some stage. These days I give it a quick spray or 2 and walk away, each time that I've tried to improve the result I mess it up.

 

i think i might listen to your advise, someone also told me i was two heavy handed......i have a feeling he might be right

 

Got the bike back from the mechanic. Running really smooth! New brakes are a dream as well

 

this is typically done with the inner fork tubes removed, then seated on v-blocks and a spun with a dial gauge measuring any deflection at the ends - though if you disassemble them and check by eye using a straight edge first off that will give you some clue to begin with

peace out

 

cheers bud... turns out i got stuffed around royally with the sale any how

 

Have been trying out the new brakes. Bike is very smooth since being to the mechanics. Brakes are very grippy, the front has more take up than the rear. I'm sure the steel lines help somewhat (apart from looking cool )









New, unfaded & unscratched dash surround fitted





And I think someone has been at my back tyre!

 

Nice work, those brakes would be like new!

 

They *are* new, smartarse!

 

So this happened tonight.


Went for a city run lights went yellow i decided to stop my mate thought we were gonna run it. I came to a complete stop as he dropped a gear and reved up. He tried to avoid me and clipped my zaust. Feeling quite sore in the legs just threw my bike out frm under me while he attempted to flip his bike which tried to hug him upon landing. Everyone are ok besides a few broken bike bits and bruised egos.


I just painted that

that's not how i left it

it don't bend dat way


that's not meant to bend

mates GXR1000 radiator is farked and right mirror is hanging for dear life

Just a few bruises for me my bike pretty much slipped out under me. Where my passenger would have been smacked me in the calves.

 

You were playing it safe,maybe your mate was to close-any way it will all get fixed up soon (you and both bikes)...Ken

 

Nah he was a fair distant back just that his bike was a gsxR 1000 so once down a gear and accelerating it moves quickly. Had he noticed i was breaking all would've been sweet. Plus side is I'm pretty sure there's no chasis damage they built this Zeals to be abused obviously.

 

a bit of tender loving care and the bike will be fixed. as for the legs i am not volunteering to rub.lol.
