I didn't realise how special that bike is, until someone filled me in on its history and what it is. The forks alone cost six times more than my entire bike did! Also, the young bloke can ride a bit too, so it was always going to be a lethal combo. I don't think that bike will come out to play again though; there was talk of it being put back on moth balls, so it might still be safe for you to keep riding yours.;)

Hey Lee.
I got a 10' x 5' roll. It s a good amount. some left over still.
Get a 50m roll of knifeless tape.
You'll use it all. It works out about $150 cheaper than buying it 10m at a time from Supercheap.

I sorted of got it sorted. Found the data it had collected from the second session and was amazed to look at it all.
Managed to get the speed and gearing working (calculated via GPS) for the 3rd session and then the day was over really quickly.
I wasted about 4hrs at home on Sunday night trying to recover and/or find the data that i had blonded out and deleted while fucking about at the track.
Almost got the Dash all sorted now. The Race Technology analysis software is really complex and designed for supreme over boffins but i'm working it out.
Most of all, i'm fucking pumped with how well the bike performs with the new mapping. An absolute thrill to ride.
Was dusting a Ducati or two on the straight in the 1 full session i did and got within ½ a second of my PB at the same time.
Very keen to just hop on and ride it now whenever possible for the rest of the year.

Walked past it at Bunnings and at $229 (http://www.bunnings.com.au/ryobi-390w-13mm-drill-press_p6210442) it was a bargain compared to how much time and drill bits I was going through trying to do it by hand. Was a bit of an IQ test to assemble, but I got there ... in the end. ;)
Yes I now have Frank's fast changing goodness front and back, still got to put on the GP Hooks for the rear and grind the front of the pads so I can get the front on and off without removing calipers.
Aiming for this ...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3NwdBUQPxWI&spfreload=1
New EBC rotors and pads. Gonna see if they reduce front brake vibration for T1. Were the bestest on the Gixxer, totally changed for the better braking feel.
I put on the Attack Performance rearsets and farked around with some Stahlbus brake bleeding / oil change simplicity kit. [Although the FF front brake caliper removal not required appears mandatory to use the Stahlbus speed bleeders on the front calipers. They stop the top caliper bolt from coming all the way out, what a shimozzle]. Caliper clean with soap and toothbrush, followed by a little brake bleeding session with dot5.1 front and back.
Future plans for shark fin, grinding front face of front pads, 520 chain / sprockets, YEC ECU install + dyno and ... it will be 'finished' ...
But for now just need sunshine on weekend to ride the damn thingy me jig. ;)

The two on the LHS are only finger tight, so axle can slide. . RHS is to torque, now never have to touch again. . The wire is 2mm so 3mm seemed Ok. 5mm soundz excessive?
Drilled at very low speed with oil to cool. Took 3 min per side of pinch bolt. . If you got bolt too hot you could temper it mildly combined with excessive hole could weaken?

Check the clearance for wheel rub on the GP lifters. I had to modify mine to work but they're a dream when sorted.
Axle comes out, wheel stays right where it is.

Yes I looked at that a while ago. From memory the tolerances to sprocket nuts waz quite tight. :fear:
So far I haz been too girly to drill and tap the swing arm. Still trying to work out how to hold the bike still during the drilling operation. Don't really want to take the swing arm off. Securing from the rafters is my current bestest idea.

The front of the bike is the OEM upper front bracket that's smashed, and the clutch lever and left clipon that are pretty well rooted.
The 2nd photo is my bits n peices got them 2 nd hand off a blood in vic. Wood craft Cilpons, front race stay bracket OEM bread pads ( thrown in) and he's posting the OEM levers, as he forgot to pack them. $350 for the lot.
The fibreglass kit it to repair the fairings all in all they held up extremely well I'm just going to re glass the inside and strengthen around the fixing points where a few pulled through. Was thinking about just glassing in some sheet metal ot possibly a washer????
Apart from that I need to straighten the rear bolt on sub frame ( I think that's what it's called ) it's pretty soft alloy and replace a few bits on the clutch side vortex rear sets.
I'll do a service while its apart, then hopefully good to go, around the same time as my elbow hopefully

Nondescript is apparently ideal for abductions - "It was a white van - officer". ;) No one can hear you scream in the back of a Vito!
The thing really pulls amazed at what that 2.1 DT can do with all the gear in the back ... acceleration to 100 kph is effortless for freeway merging.

cheers Marshy & Sicko
riding it road pattern after riding the other bike in race pattern lasted about 1.3 laps....
For those searching this thread in the future, this mod requires taking the lower rear engine mount bolt out and inserting it from the RHS of the bike. Then a custom nut (approx. 72mm long) is made and installed with a M10x1.25 (metric Fine) thread onto the end of the bolt. The other end of the nut has a M8x1.25 thread that will allow mounting of the shift lever.
Next a custom shift lever is made, with the hole centres for the linkage end, pivot point and toe peg all on the same axis. The Pivot bush and bolt are used from the original lever (need to tap the bush out). The pivot hole is 16mm, and the linkage and toe peg threads are M6.
Finally, the shift linkage is shortened (remove the M8 LH thread end) and threaded with an M6 thread for a rod end. Ideally you want a LH threaded rose joint and taps to suit, but not a biggy if you only have RH thread as you don't adjust these very often once they are set up.
The lever arm on the gearbox is mounted upside down( steps away from the gearbox) and horizontal (instead of vertical) with the linkage mounting vertically in behind the overflow bottle.
This also works for stock rear sets.
Will post some pics tomorrow...

Interesting! Have you done much spraying? Would you say the wrapping was easier or harder to get a good finish?
What about cost? Was it more or less than a spray to do the vinyl?
I think the vinyl is certainly a better finish than some rattle can Be interested to know if it takes that much longer...

IMO prep is close, if it's ruff under the wrap, it's going to show it!
It's cleaner to wrap than painting, (overspray etc) and don't need tools just a heat gun really.
I think wrap will have some good longevity with stone chips, as paint and fibreglass chip easy.
Will be easy to repair just a section (add a new sticker) when the next off happens.
IMO of your after a top job, you cannot beat proper paint thought a gun, but it's not cheap.
I think it's cost me $200 to wrap all the bike with knifeless tape, how would that be against rattle can job, am not sure, but it's fun to try something I haven't done before

I've had the same fairings now since 2012 and done them many ways.
Painted properly by someone else, painted cheaply by someone else, painted by myself, wrapped by someone else and wrapped twice by myself, pretty much in that order.
When i painted the bike myself(with rattle cans, albeit good quality colour matched paint and 2 pack clear acrylic in a can) i was blown away by how much prep and effort goes into it.
Particularly when you're an anal fuck and you end up cutting back all of the orange peel out of the clear.
I was happy with the result but when i looked at wrapping it opened up a whole new world of colour possibilities.
Its much easier to get fancy with different colours in different area's etc.
At the end of the day you still need to do a really good base prep. Even when wrapping now i clean the panels up and hit them with 3 or 4 coats of etch primer and then sand the f**k out of them to get them as smooth as possible.
Etch primer has great adhesion to fibreglass and sets incredibly hard. Vinyl wrap also loves sticking to it.
As Lee says, the wrap doesn't lie, but it does help you not give a shit so much if there is a bit underneath that doesn't look great, for me, thats because the overall picture looks so much better. 20/20 rule etc.
Cost wise i think the difference between methods was as follows
A1 Racepaint- $750 inc. freight
Someone else - $350.00 (really poorly matched colour, lazy work)
Me spraying it- Around $ 600. Lots of work, lots of mess, and the spray in my lungs and nose really got in the way of my cigarette smoking for a while.
Someone else wrapping it- $ 800 inc. material
Me wrapping it- Around $ 350.00 and a shitload of hours.
After having done it a few times i think wrap is definitely the way to go for me.
Sort of got it worked out now and getting more efficient at it each time.
If anybody wants some parts wrapped i'm ready to have a hack.

I've never done a Carby balance before, mostly because my bikes have injectors but is it tricky? What's involved?
Don't rev the motor with the balancer hooked up, you will suck up the fluid through the carbies and that will be the end of you day in the shed until more fluid arrives.....Iv been there once before
Oh and its easy.. pretty much set idle, hook up vacuum lines to carbies, adjust screws........
Speak up if i am wrong

In the interest of Marshy's call to post stuff
After a year of racing and coping a knee slider to boot it was time to repaint my fairing,
I was able to buy a cheap set off a fellow racer and paint them, I'll be using this set for track days and keep the repainted much lighter "racers edge" set for racing

spare set, I practiced my painting skills on these...pretty ordinary job, but looks good from a distance

repainted and stickered racers edge set, still waiting for more sticker stripes to arrive
got to love my $60 painting booth from Bunnings lol

I haven't tested it enough on the road to give a full verdict. I have had it kick in, but only when I was trying to get it too (aggressive throttle openings).
Wheelie control is hands down the best one out there and the quickshifter is super smooth.
I wasn't sold on the looks when I first saw photos, but in the flesh it is awesome.

dyno later this month, few things to yet go on. Exhaust/Tank/Radiator - the tank needs slightly massaging because this tank is from the CRT bike when they ran the carbon airbox , the carbon airbox is of course different to the OEM airbox WSBK runs so its being modified to fit. I hope to get it on the dyno in the next 2-3 weeks

Marshy
03-06-2015, 08:34 AM
Actually, I'm with Linden on this one ;)
They've replaced the steering head angle inserts with very different offsets to the previous model (which you could do in 5 minutes to an older one) which makes the front end look very different whilst not actually being any different at all, and added some more horsepowers internally, but I'm not sure anything else has really changed, except colours.
But seeing as the old one just needed a couple of extra ponies to be the bestestest bike ever made, they might have just nailed it with this one ;)
I am interested to hear just how much extra power it actually makes, real world.

Oh I see ... closer look its an RSV4RF I guess that means special ... Not saying it doesn't look pretty just its as pretty as the previous models
I'm thinking that the RF actually means it's an R model, upspecced with some of the good bits of the Factory, rather than being a full-blown Factory. Could be wrong though.

It will be making as much as the new model RSV4 does as standard.
Marshy
03-06-2015, 08:47 AM
Actually, looking at the specs of the different models, I am wrong. So there's no frame difference now between the RR and the RF. Previously, the R got a non-adjustable frame (which was absolutely spot-on, geometry-wise, anyway), and only the Factory got the adjustment for steering head angle, rake, engine height and swingarm pivot position. It now looks like all models get the adjustable frame. The only differences, therefore, are the Sachs versus Ohlins bouncy bits. Previously it was Sachs and non-adjustable frame versus Ohlins and adjustable frame. But the price difference between the two models has closed too, as it used to be nearly $10k difference, and now it's $6k. Which makes sense, because a replacement R frame was ~A$1.5k and an adjustable Factory frame was ~$5k. Although if you were skilled with metalwork, it wouldn't be a big job to nibble out the filled-in bits on the R frame to convert it to a Fatory frame. The geometry was all the same, just the spacers/inserts were different.
