JustHarry Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Can you do your own cert? Or gotta use someone else ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cletus Posted October 30, 2021 Author Share Posted October 30, 2021 Have to use someone else, if you are a certifier you can't cert your own vehicle or anything you have modified or have a financial interest in A certifier can do some cert repairs but only up to a max of 8 hrs work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post cletus Posted November 16, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 16, 2021 I decided I wanted a bigger bike, I'd been going over all sorts of different options for ages but ended up leaning towards something japanese and reliable I went into a harley dealer once but felt weird, like when your aunty sees you walk out of an adult video store Thanks to @MACKAZ for having a look at it for me , it was in whangarei so I got biketranz to deliver it Pretty happy with it, I always find it interesting to see how the type of vehicle it is, influences how you ride/drive it. I thought a big bike may encourage riding like a diddle and going 1 million kph everywhere but this is the opposite, because it's so smooth and torquey it's quite happy bumbling around at the speed limit, whereas DRZ kind of ends up brappp everywhere because it's not very smooth at lower rpm It's about as exciting to look at as a mid 00s camry though so I'll do some cosmetic stuff so it doesn't look like I'm on my way to a Ulysses club run 24 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exhaust is very quiet and I'm not a big fan of twin muffs up high , I'll probably change it to a single side muff. It does sound cool though, it's got a bit of a lope at idle which should sound good with the volume up a bit Adult video story was just to add to my yarn, but based on real life events There used to be an adult video shop in east tamaki that was on my way home, a fun game was to drive past and if there was someone going in or out, toot and wave like you knew them 8 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post cletus Posted November 20, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 20, 2021 Bum tidied up a bit Rack off, stickers off, rego and wof moved out of the environment, guard chopped off a bit shorter, plate moved up. This will do for now Once I move the exhaust I'll do some small indicators and reg plate lamp and get rid of the guard completely 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Positive Ape Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Sweet. Those kind of naked bikes have always appealed much low down torque? I have always told myself I want a v twin for more grunt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cletus Posted November 27, 2021 Author Share Posted November 27, 2021 Not heaps of low down torque but that makes it quite nice to ride imo. It seems to me that if you stay in the 1500-4000 range it is quite sedate, smooth, is still quick enough to get ahead of traffic etc If you use the other end of the tacho it goes pretty good though. I'm quite keen to run it at the drags, apparently they are good for mid 11s stock with a lighter rider, I'd be pretty stoked if it could do high 11s with a fatty on it 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cletus Posted December 26, 2021 Author Share Posted December 26, 2021 Dumb. I'd noticed a light throttle knock in this which is one reason I bought another bike. It's always been a bit of a rattler, these things are well known for sounding like a can of rocks from new so it's a bit tricky to internet diagnose the problem. I intended to sort my license test on this and sell it I rode it for the first time in a while the other day and the rattle had not healed itself, and sounded worse, probably because the new bike is so quiet and I'm used to that one now I had a look in the oil filter and there was a bit of sparkly stuff in it... I didn't want to sell it knowing there was a potential for it to chernobyl shortly after selling it so I thought I'd have a look and fingers crossed it was something easy like just a top end rebuild. Based on the peppering of shit on the front side of the piston and very slight up and down movement in the big end of the rod I think the bearing /crank is goosed Sucks as it's only done 20,000km Not sure what I'll do yet. I don't really want to spend heaps of time and effort on it when I don't intend on keeping it 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post cletus Posted December 27, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted December 27, 2021 DRZ problem solved, put it back together (with the head/barrel off) put it on trademe, sold, guy picked it up and didn't even haggle on price. Mint. While he was picking it up, @Ash-he came and picked up the passola as well so 2 bikes gone in one morning Now I can concentrate my 2 wheeled efforts on this one. Have ordered a complete exhaust which should be here early Jan. A system for a CB900RR is a bolt on with a couple of easy mods, headers are slightly different and gets rid of the twin mufflers and goes to a conventional single side muff which will tidy the bum up a bit 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
