XL185 Service Manual

Sat, 04 Feb 2012 13:27:31 +0000

Hey there, I don't know if there is a place on this forum for service manuals or something, but I have had a look and couldn't find anything in any obvious location. I was just wondering if anyone had a link/download for a service manual for the old XL185 (1985 I believe) as a mate and I have plane to fix his one up.

Thanks, 2fiddy.

Robbery broad daylight

Sat, 04 Feb 2012 12:46:52 +0000

Make sure you lock the car doors people when travelling. I was waiting at the lights at the pauls warehouse intersection at homebush this afternoon and saw a silver audi pulled up next to an old camry in the opposit direction. A ME guy got out of the audi and grabbed a bag from the camry and quickly took off with the camry chasing after him with the rear door still opened. Not sure if the camry caught up to him but we saw the same Audi again further down the road with some front end damage traveling at speed.

Upside down shifter (race shift)

Sat, 04 Feb 2012 12:43:10 +0000

Maybe repost, my apologies.

Thinking of making the switch on the 600 because I have developed some stupid habit of finding neutral when I want 2nd Its totally me and only that gear but ya'know.

What are the opinions and experiences on this for a street bike and does it take much to get used to?

cheers.

Anyone Heard of Spark Plug Side Gapping?

Sat, 04 Feb 2012 09:59:07 +0000

Has anyone ever heard of or tried this?

I was doing some research on reading spark plugs and came across this site

The theory makes sense to me, but would there really be any potential performance gains?

I'm not planning on trying it but just wanted to see what you guys all think.

EOI Melb, 1996 ZX6R trackbike

Sat, 04 Feb 2012 09:53:04 +0000

Thinking of offloading my trackbike.

1996 zx6r, Kawasaki green

Gsxr1000 brake caliper upgrade
zx9 master cylinder
Fully revalved suspension +95 springs, work done by Promecha
Sitting on Bridgestone slicks
Crash mushrooms
Vortex clipons
Woodcraft rearsets
Spare set of wheels w/discs with brand new unused pilot powers
Spare screen
Spare paint
Extra sprockets
Other stuff I cant remember.

Bike has been down twice on the track at broadford, (vid available on youtube) and a couple of static falls in the pits.

Goes hard for an older bike, I've been able to get it around broadford in 68's, an actual skilled rider could go way better.

Any of the old schoolers like Carson, Dee etc can verify any verifiables about its history.

Needs a bit of tidying around the fairings, not much though

Open to offers around $3200.

Also have a set of tyre warmers and a Starlane GPS bluetooth laptimer/speedo/tacho with integrated shift lights.

Well then

carb overflow, one cyl not running

Sat, 04 Feb 2012 00:56:52 +0000

So what my MC19 has is a bit more wierd than i thought before. When you try to start, besides it being very difficult to start, it would first run very slopy and then it seems that it gains a whole load of power reaching a stable idle at 4000 RPM. I checked and it is running on 3 instead of 4 cylinders. While it is turning on and before it gains this "power" exhaust gases come out of this tube next to the carb.

I turned off the engine and then the carburattor started to overflow where the cylinder that was not running was.

I opened the carburattor that belongs to the cylinder not running by lifting the piston and turning the butterfly valve and a bit of exhaust gas came out of the carb.

I left it alone for a bit with the key in the ignition on and then this other carb (corresponding to another cylinder) was overflowing

I did check the float needles and they are sweet. The floats go up and down perfectly. I have no idea as to why the carbs are overflowing. I think the cylinder that was not running would have some kind of problem with the spark plug.

Any ideas?

Hi guys, I'd like to move to brissy next year and want to buy a house, if possible.

While I'd like to be as close to the beach as possible, obviously budget is an issue. What are some of the good suburbs, and which are the horrible ones?

Know of any good motorbike painters in Bris?

Fri, 03 Feb 2012 12:04:43 +0000

Hey guys,
I've recently moved to Brisbane and was wondering if anyone knew a good place to get fairings and the tank painted? I've almost finished sanding everything back, just need to find a place that isn't going to rip me off.
Cheers

Phiilip Island Track days - March 12 & 13

Fri, 03 Feb 2012 06:35:26 +0000

Well, it would apppear that a few guys are keen to head down to PI for some track time on the above dates.
Monday 12th is nearly booked out and so King Kenny and myself are going to get ourselves down to ride on Tuesday 13th.

There were about 15 or so spots left in the green group today so if anyone is keen may I suggest you book reasonably soon, alternatively, just book into another group and we can all get a garage together and spit hot oil on each others back.

Would be great to get some CBR forum members down there for a meet up and a chop fest.

Get on it!

Paint Touch Up

Fri, 03 Feb 2012 05:26:47 +0000

So I bought a second hand ducktail from a dude in Victoria, idea being 'that doesn't look too bad', lick of paint and she'll be new.

While the damage is small, its deep. So i'm wondering if you guys can suggest how to fix this?

1. Fix it myself with the painting know-how of a brain damaged chimp.

2. Pay someone money to buff and touch it up.

Desired result here is to be close to spectacular. Who in sydney can restore this to stock standard?
