Well, the CF650 finally let me down last Monday when the clutch cable snapped. Anyhow, 1 that fits a KAWASAKI ER-6 N D9F (ABS) 09, and is less than 1/2 the price of ordering a genuine 1, even direct from China !! Anyhow, workmand other things have got in the way, but today I swapped it over. Now, I can really see the downside of a faired bike !! lol
Anyhow, cable replaced, and it works perfectly ____________________ Beware what photos you upload, or link to on here, especially if you have family members on them |

VFR -
Oil and Filter change.
Chain lube.
Let the child remove many, many years of chain fling from rear suspension.
Gave it a proper wash & wax, doubt she'll get any better now, and at the end of the day, she's an old girl now. Child loved this bit, so she's got a new job for pocket money now.
Decided to change pads all round on Payday.
More telling sellers I don't care about the profit margins they have, the parts are fucking wrong, I want a refund.
125 -
It was losing petrol when stood. Checked cap, that seems to seal fine, so the tap was suspect. - Fuel-proof RTV for now, and if it stops, we'll put a new tap in, and clean the tank while we're at it.
Decided to keep it, it's slow, ugly, and attracts massive pisstaking, but it's sodding reliable and in comparison to the VFR, runs on fumes. Also massive fun to chuck around and take liberties within corners. ____________________ '98 VFR800 (touring) - '12 VFR800 Crosrunner (Commuting) - '01 KDX220 (Big Green Antisocial Machine) |

GSXR400 - Did a baseline run on the dyno pre fitting the Factory Pro jet kit and K&N filters. Not sure how fit the engine was as the bike hasn't any history but i'm sure the engine isn't the original and it does breathe a bit when thrashed under track conditions.

56bhp RWBHP, nice output considering it's a track bitch and it's currently running a completely standard exhaust and intake setup.
It's currently running a loaned set of SP carbs as i had a lot of issues with the bike earlier in the year. We fitted the jet kit and filters to my rebuilt SP carbs so we could swop carbs and test back to back.

Unfortunately the evening's dyno testing went to shit after the carbs were swopped. It was a struggle to get it started and when it did run it was, in all honesty, complete shit. We had various theories that the slides weren't reacting quickly enough (the kit comes with new springs), the best we managed was a struggle to 49 RWBHP. I stuck it back in the van, thoroughly pissed off that my expensive jet kit and filter set up was as much use as tits on a fish. As i had proven the engine in standard trim was putting out good power I was hoping for a big increase.
After sleeping on the issue I changed tack, and stuck the jet kit and filters on the loaned carbs the bike had been running with. Suddenly everything got better, it started and idled immediatly and was super crisp.

Having ridden it i can confidently say we are moving in the right direction, low end response i would say is superior to the original airbox setup, which i didn't expect. You can open the taps at 4k in top and it responds fine, i would of expected it to bog down and then gone better at the top end. Above 9k the carburation needs work so it's back on the dyno to see which way we need to go with the overall jetting. I also want to get a more open exhaust back on it if possible. ____________________ Be a REAL MAN! |

How much did you lower it by? I tip toe my 650, but I'd be worried about ground clearance if I was to lower it. I got the exhaust to scrape today (Motad replacement), not sure if it sits lower than the stock one! |
