What I did today...

[Leezx10r]

I can vouch. Wrapping is a major PITA

Thanks Chubb, painting is the go then. Not sure how good it will look, doing it by myself in the shed

That rad is a work of art!

Wow!! Very nice!

Had a look at the back end of the race bike after the ding.
Decided to do some lasering to see what exactly I was dealing with....




Usefullly there was an unused and, most importantly, unridden R6 in the workshop too so I set about comparing measurements, levels and angles etc. to the factory tolerances.




Happily the comparisons came back TO THE MILLIMETER! I then set about lasering the axel to see how she looked...
Not quite right. It's not too easy to see on the photo, but the axle just wasn't level. it turned out to be the axle block/chain adjuster.
It was really only holding together with a shard of metal and the adjuster bolt had a bit of a bend to it. Best place for the adjuster is bin...




The new drivetrain is here and I've ordered some new adjusters so when they arrive, the next step will be to re-assemble it all with the new wheel and the drivetrain before checking over again to make sure we're all good to go.

Set of black Attack Performance rearsets for R6 arrived. Delivered for $295 from Champion Ride Days (apparently discounted from $699). Love how the toe folds, nice feeling rearsets. I think Metal uses them too?

Pics or it didn't happen...

How many them purty red lights you got? Be keen to use the same technique to see if my old Gixxer is still straight.

Welcome to, mate. Reckon you'd get hold of original spec data for reference?

NFI where I'd get those. See that's why I'll just have to take old girl to an expert. Might take her for a revival trip to Wetty's when he's dun fishin and lounging in the sun.

What year and size is the girl? Can use mine for measurements if it's around same era? K4 600.

$295 included postage. I bought two sets cause I'm an optimist! They got some Attack fairings going for $500 too. Lots for green machines. I heard the AP fairings are good? They also selling leathers cheap too ... what's going on in QLD?

Dan Klyle Racing in the states. Good price and 3 days to your door. You can do it over the net , I usually call them to confirm stock and place the order over the phone. Ask for Dan.

[WETTY]

Think I have in stock
That's if u want to buy local
Pm me and I'll get back to you when I return on 2nd

I made my bike lighter.

no engine.jpg

It locked in gear a couple of weeks ago, so I had to throw a spare engine I had (that I was hoping to rebuild one day) in for this weekend. The only problem is the Powercomander has crapped out, so I have to run it without it this weekend. It was corrupted and had a shit map in it anyway, so hopefully it won't be too bad without it.

Good job you had a spare! Did you find out what the locked gear issue was?

looks bad

After 3 days of fibreglassing, bogging, sanding and painting we're almost good to go for the weekend....

Looking good, Jamie. Is that primer or going for the stealth look or are there decals etc too?

[Saturnalian]

I always hit 'em with a couple of coats of etch primer.

Really good adhesion to fibreglass and hard as fuck after 24 hrs.
I'll probably wrap it again but haven't decided entirely yet. Ordered a bunch of vinyl over xmas but fuck all is shipping fast at the moment it seems.
I think this weekend will be highly polished etch primer grey.

[Mr.Ed]

Here's an interesting fact:

Without an engine, fairing and etc your bike/rider combo is still heavier than Little Mick's! Damn you, skinny ppl of the World! hahahaha

[Leezx10r]

Well thought I would get some bike action in today.

Started to make my axle sliders and rear spool pick-ups

Not finished rear sliders, was to hot machining in this heat today.

Yep. A big hole in the rocker cover. I won't know what caused that hole until I pull it apart and have a look at it though.

Lucky you can teach kids Rob

The engine went in as I bought it. I was told it was a runner, so I assumed it would be ok. Lesson learnt, next time strip the motor and rebuild it before putting it in.

return it for warranty

[Nelso]

return it for warranty

Sadly there's no warranty on it as it was bought off a mate of a mate 15 moths ago. I had intended to rebuild it before putting it in, but when the other engine had issues, I just put it in without touching it.

Maybe you can build 1 from the broken 2
Get yaself a manual and hook in

[Saturnalian]

With my first weekend of testing out of the way i have to say i am totally impressed by the product. The new engine in my R6 has run hot for the last 6 months, averaging 98-100º in most races. With the new Radiator fitted i just spent the weekend testing and found it to be now running consistently between 78-84º. That includes a day of testing in 34º temperatures. Brilliant result !!!

What are the intake lengths for the bottom and top bits Jamie? its funny how they just turn on the extension pieces for the uppers, so simple.

20150106_121202.jpg

Oooo, fancy!! That would be unreal data to have. And would edjumacate people better about how water temp does not equal oil temp. "Yeah, I warmed my bike up to 60 degrees on the dash first thing in the morning, then gave it the berries!" Oh, good one; that will promote engine longevity......

It'd be great if you could share the results

[Kris]

Indeed! water does not equal oil :P

Will share the results if you're interested - earlier RSV4 engines in SBK form had issues with oil foaming and extreme heat so will be monitoring this closely...

[Marshy]

It would be great to know.

Interestingly the 09 Factory runs very hot compared to the 2013 R. I haven't yet worked out why, as the R feels slightly more powerful (bugger all in it though, now I've got the Race map ECU in the 09). The R will sit at 86 all day, even in 40 degree heat, whereas the 09 is at 98-100. Odd. The radiator in the R is the massively bent and straightened one, so cooling would be way less. The 09 rad is in mint condition.
