loserlazer Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Wow. That z1000 is fast man! But yankee, want to know: what is your riding position on the video and how can you stand the wind on 200 kmh? Full tucking under the paint?

yankee99 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 ^^^^ really for short blasts it not a issue. My biggest problem is/was not having a proper helmet. I have a arai on order but it probably wont be here until 1st week of feb. Leaning forward does make it easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maximus101 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Hello Maximus and welcome to the thread. Tyres - I would put on Pirelli Rosso 2s - the best place to fit those is in BKK at Showpow. Will post some pics. Just been down to BP Racing where there are 4 er6ns getting some work done from fitting alarms to fitting race sets. Most parts for your bike can be ordered through BP Racing, AP Shop BKK or online through the Kawasaki websites although you may need to be able to read Thai. I'm going back down to BP Racing in an hour. If you want to meet there I'll be there As for a service, only Kawasaki have the usb connector to plug into your port under your seat to diagnose and test stuff. Otherwise I would do most jobs yourself or get them done at BP Racing? There's not a lot going on in the way of servicing for these bikes apart from the usual stuff big bikes need. Oil, filters etc. That rear tyre is too big for the 2009 swingarm. I once had a 170 on my 2010 er6n and that was enough. From 2012 Kawasaki enlarged the swingarm to take a 190 Z1000/ZX10 wheel and tyre. This can be bought through BP Racing for about 20k all in I think. Depending on the tyre you want. As I say, Pirelli are a sound choice. See you soon Norman Hey found BP racing and they seem helpful got a few small items but no mirrors that are suitable BTW they are across from Siam Bayshore not siam bayview just in case others are looking Any one have original mirrors for sale as they would be way better than what i have BP racing offered to get some pricing for tyres so i will await there phone call Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maximus101 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Also anyone seen mirror extenders for the er6n in thailand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mania Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 (edited) Two bro Exhaust say their getting a 7.5 HP increase at 10k 4 ft-lbs at 5k Loosing 11 pounds over stock exhaust On Kawasaki 2013 650 nice numbers Edited January 31, 2013 by mania Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlos Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 They have been claiming that for just over a year now. I'm sure that the bike had a power commander and obviously a lengthy tune. 7.5bhp is a bit optimistic for an ER6, even a full system, i'd like to see an independent dyno test with this exhaust system. Two Brothers are the only company claiming such high gains.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two Brothers are the only company claiming such high gains.... Yeah I was thinking the same which is why I said nice numbers These days I hardly see more than 3 or 4hp with exhaust system change outs. Not like the good old days where the stock exhaust was so bad you get a big bump with a re-jet, intake filter & pipe change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NormanW Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 OK here are the provisional timings for the 'Pattaya Crew' leaving for the 2013 BKK International Bike Show this Saturday 2nd February. Meeting at D-Zone (the new Dainese shop) opposite Soi 12 on the 3rd Road at 09:30 but if you fancy some grub (food/breaky) before hand then, myself and a few others will be in Pitinis on Soi Bukow. We will be meeting Nick on his lovely 1100 Monster in Bang Na at about 11am and then onto Central World for the extravaganza of BIKES until about 5pm ish. It promises to be an EPIC day for all. Keep those good times rolling. Norman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some cute Thai bike model girls to look at, some new aftermarket products, Karlos said there will be MOS Burgers, I don't know what that is but it sounds good paninis & maybe a beer?

mania Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 (edited) man, only 6 hours from Chiang Mai to BKK,. Leave Chiang Mai at 8 in the morning and you are here at 14:00. I would die to go for a long trip with my bike now. Yeah I like long rides but only in the twisties. I think CM to BK would be a bit boring on a 250 I did find a really nice 100km loop here in the hills called Samoeng http://maps.google.c...f5f35034e4fceee http://www.gt-rider....he-samoeng-loop Lots of sport bike riders & cyclist too. Really only 70 or so is twisty but great fun ride. Gotta be careful as I ride alone & it is out there a bit. Last Sunday I tagged onto a group of Thai riders & as we were going uphill into some turns the guy in 2nd spot went down like a shot. Lowsided but he got up quick & moved his bike aside so no others were involved. If you google Samoeng loop some folks have made videos too Not sport bike videos but you can see the roads.

loserlazer Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 i would love to drive there mania. my job is a hard kind of job and i barely move outside of Bangkok and if i move, i go Hua Hin etc. max. Envy you guys up there but i want to make Songklaburi trip after this weekend which has enough twisties, i made it once with my cbr150 and it was fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlos Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 (edited) 230kmh = 143mph!!!!! Bloody hell, that must have been a hell of a hill they were racing down. Best I’ve had is 214kmh on a flat during mid afternoon. My 2012 N650 is having its 30,000km service done this Monday. On top of the regular service I have insisted the following to be done:- Valve clearances Throttle body synchronization Compression check (I’m curious as to how the engine is holding up) Air filter After 100km or so I’ll head out for one test run to see if she can reach 220kmh on a flat Edited February 2, 2013 by karlos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll run her on 95 Benzine, head out on a cool morning, lose some weight (cough cough) and fill the tyres with helium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy said he's only changed the exhaust. I doubt changing the rear sprocket to a smaller size would help the bike reach 230kmh, this bike just doesn't have enough puff in its lungs to pull that gearing. Fitting a larger sprocket to fool the speedo in to thinking the rear wheel is spinning faster than it actually is would do the 'trick' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlos Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 My 2012 Ninja 650 has just had its 30,000km service done (now currently reading 32,400km) Here’s a list of things that were carried out by my local dealership here in Bangkok 1) Valve clearance check (I insisted it to be done early and measurement to be given to me. All were fine) 2) Compression check (Curious as to how the engine’s holding up, and she's running 175 & 173psi dry) 3) Throttle body Synchronization (Should have been done on the 12k and 24k but wasn’t! As 4) expected it was quite far off) 4) Spark plugs 5) Air filter 6) Engine oil 7) Oil filter 8) Cam cover gasket and O-Ring set 9) As well as all the regular 30,000km service checks. 10) 4 hours labor Total cost 3200baht, 64 pounds, or $107 Absolute bargain, having the throttle bodies re-synchronized has made a noticeable difference in the bike’s power delivery, she seems a lot more grunty compared to how it’s been over the last 12,000km or so.

rene123 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 There were a bunch of the Er6n Kawis in the Chiang Mai dealership when I took my D-Tracker in for a service. The Er6n is a nice, compact looking bike.There were also a few previously nice, new Versys that the riders had somehow mangled. I didn't ask about the condition of the riders.

YipYipYa123 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 .There were also a few previously nice, new Versys that the riders had somehow mangled. I didn't ask about the condition of the riders. there is at about 25 mangled bikes at rama9 and they have a long waiting list on repairs ,i spoke to guy who crashed badly and he said there is no er6n frames available so his repair will take at least two months you would think there would be plenty of frames in rayong if the 650's are still being produced there but seems like no spare ones put aside for crashes ......
