What I did today...

**Kris** · 24-06-2015, 10:14 AM

Looks fine. Just make sure that your throttle moves smoothly. The oem cables are very suspectable to getting twisted/tangled and as a result the throttle sticks. I moved my RBW motor up to the top of the bike

**Marshy** · 24-06-2015, 06:50 PM

All perfect, except that you see the metal ring around the throttle cables down at the demand sensor? That should be screwed in to the top radiator mount.

Farrrrkkkk thats such an effort :(

I was wondering where those metal rings went. Theres one on the other side too that holds the overflow tubes.

The demand sensor metal tubes (that the cables go on) seem pretty close to the radiator. Is that normal?

Kris- thanks i was pretty careful with the throttle cables but there are some others under there that i was too sure of (thermo fans and what not)

Also for some reason i unscrewed the earthing bolt (no idea why i did that when taking the rad???) and think ive put those back correctly. There are 3 wires going to the main earth bolt and and aother smaller one sitting on the frame. Sound right?

The overflow tubes ring is attached by the bolt that holds the reservoir bottle to the rad, IIRC.

The earth attachments are right. The 3 main earths bolt to the motor, and the little piggyback earth goes to the frame.

The cables near the radiator are fine - it's never that hot. Just be careful to keep the reg/rec wires away from the exhaust headers. The headers are quite close to the wiring if you're not careful, and I can tell you from experience that the headers will melt through the wiring in about 10 seconds from dead cold.....

Yep sound right and one to the engine but doubt you removed that. Yes its fairly normal, just route them so nothing touches thats the main thing. For a track bike, pull the fan out on the side that has the RBW motor

Yes, what do you need? Painted or unpainted?

Ok thats a good idea thanks Kris. I was going to leave the thermos in but i guess 1 is enough plus it gives me room to mount that Reg Rec in its place.

Hey Nick,

I know this a very track oriented forum, but I have a very non track oriented question about my RSV4, so non-track oriented, it's about passenger footpegs.

To be clearer, I am after this bit:

https://www.af1racing.com/store/Scri...dproduct=56849

but, by friday... Need to take a girlie for a ride on friday and at the moment, I cannot mount the akra exhaust to the pillion footpegs as it's mounted to the carbon hanger instead! I've got the pillion pegs, just not that part :(

Do you happen to have it from any of your builds lying around?

Thanks mate,

Nath

Perhaps hit up a local metal fab. Looks easy to make and if you could make a mock up in Cardboard and that pic and give it to em they'll probably knock it up for a case

**Linden** · 29-06-2015, 10:27 AM

On the weekend anyway

Getting dirtier (well the BOY is - but I bet I'll play as well) picked up this and $700 of Dirt clothing (ouch)

And something for me (hopefully lives up to promise of 4-8 hp - the B4 and After Dyno will be the test - oh and Hidden Valley in 6weeks)

A few new toys to play with, seeing as a new bike is on hold for a few more mths

Yep, after seeing how much the bit was from a shop in Sydney today (no names mentioned), but $107 for a piece of metal with two little bends and two holes drilled in it, my next choice is a metal ruler with two little bends and two holes drilled in it!

Cheers!

I've got one. I'll dig it out. Sounds like the going price is $106, yeah?

**zoidberg** · 29-06-2015, 11:34 PM

$105.99?

Any chance I could grab it before friday? Would love to see your trackbikes and get some ideas too!

Cheers,

Nath

Hey, do you think if I covered my toes, the moon boot would pass scrutineering?!?

It does look a little like one of those Sidi boots, colour your toes same as the moonboot, couple of stickers, you'll be good to go!

oh OK

**Kimbo** · 04-07-2015, 05:45 PM

Today, added the crash protection, and started drilling out the exhaust valve, and sold my road fairings

**Marshy** · 04-07-2015, 06:07 PM

Nice!! Hey, that upper dash mount is exactly the same as the earlier models. Which bit is supposed to be different?

**Kimbo** · 04-07-2015, 06:18 PM

I thought so , but is only the shape of the moulded OEM upper fairing. It's the same as the old models. so all good for the new fairing Marshy. And the stock exhaust is a copy of the Acro evo 2 system.

**Negrogrande** · 04-07-2015, 09:21 PM

Need to remove the hero blobs…

**Kimbo** · 04-07-2015, 09:24 PM

Nah , Yeah waiting for rearsets to turn up

**Kimbo** · 05-07-2015, 01:42 PM

Interesting to find , the frame is adjustable for engine and headstock

**Little Mick** · 05-07-2015, 04:47 PM

Did a little shopping today for an updated tow vehicle....

Are you compensating for something Mick? Ha Ha. Looks good , no trouble towing with that mate.

**Little Mick** · 05-07-2015, 05:08 PM

Need a booster seat for it Noel

.
It's a good alternative for towing the next trailer and when the daughter gets into her horses. 4×4 dual fuel 5.4l... 2.5in lift on 33 inch tyres.....

**Marshy** · 05-07-2015, 05:39 PM

Fitted c/f frame covers to the '09. It's now officially finished!

**Binksy** · 05-07-2015, 06:33 PM

Did the first colour on the my new Racers Edge nose cone

Finally fitted a decat pipe to the r6 and pulled the PC5 off my roadbike ready to go onto the trackie.
