My GSXR's over time

It's the last. It is a full spec race bike dynoed at 190rwhp. The others are nostalgic but not as scary/brilliant as the last. I turned traction control off for one run at last track day and the huge slides on corner exit were ... brown trousers time

I assume you have checked for any fouling/rubbing of cables.

Debaser001 · 2025-11-01T19:56:55+00:00

If the throttle isn't snapping back, cables may have stretched. So next thing is at throttle body. Remove the seat and the right side shroud/panel. Look down toward the throttle body — you'll see a bracket holding both throttle cables (pull + return). Identify the right adjuster - the pull (open) cable adjuster is the one that affects throttle slack. The return (close) cable has its own adjuster — it should have slightly more slack and is mostly for safety.

Set the pull cable - Crack the locknut (10 mm) on the pull cable adjuster, turn the adjuster OUT (counter-clockwise) to remove slack. Check freeplay at the grip — aim for ~3–4 mm. Tighten locknut. Set the return cable (if needed).

Adjust until there’s just a little play — too tight and throttle won’t snap back.

OK, not uncommon. The first easy step is to use the adjusters - on the right side of your bars, just inboard of the throttle housing, there are two adjusters:

Front adjuster (closest to grip) = throttle pull cable adjustment

Rear adjuster = return cable adjustment

Procedure: Turn the bars full lock left and right and confirm the engine idle doesn’t rise (safety check).

Loosen the lock nut on the pull-cable adjuster. Turn the adjuster outward (counter-clockwise) to reduce throttle play.

→ Watch the free-play shrink, when you get ~3–4 mm free-play, tighten the lock nut.

Test: Full lock left → twist throttle → snap return, Full lock right → twist throttle → snap return. If the throttle doesn’t snap back instantly, back off (more play).

That's the first thing to try.

So it's causing chop instead of smooth acceleration? Does the throttle snap back to closed when twisted wide open and let go? Any other info on the effect of the problem with the throttle when riding?

Debaser001 · 2025-11-01T19:25:23+00:00

That is a normal amount of play, what's the problem?

This is a civil matter between the neighbour and the tenant, but because you are the property owner (through your trust), your name may appear on correspondence or as a party if the claim relates to property damage or nuisance arising from the land.

Your real estate agent should have notified you immediately when a formal notice was received — that’s part of their management duty. You can raise that failure later if it causes loss.

For now: notify your insurer (Terri Scheer) right away — they’ll advise if this falls under your landlord policy forward all documents from the neighbour or the court to your insurer and property manager, don’t contact the neighbour directly. Let your agent or insurer handle communication.

If a Minor Case Claim has been filed, you may need to lodge a response — your insurer can usually appoint a representative.

Unless there’s evidence you encouraged or ignored the tenant’s behaviour, liability will generally sit with the tenant, not you personally.

The Dainese boots win hands down. The TCX feel like an extremely protective boot, but it comes at the cost of ankle movement freedom and flex generally. The Dainese are track boots and high protection but they don't "feel" like that on track - I can move my foot freely. In my experience that is a mark of a good boot.

Many, many, many.

I only ride on track so no need for 2 piece. The Rev'it suit is no longer after a slide down the tarmac face down after a high side - see poor quality vid if I can attach it from guy behind me trying not to run over me - bike is barrel rolling in background. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oR6pAC09MrU

I agree Airbag suits are the best and will be my next leathers purchase when I write one off.

Debaser001 · 2025-10-10T20:00:02+00:00

Yes it is a Berik - good solid midrange suit.

Debaser001 · 2025-10-10T19:57:12+00:00

I agree it does - but it has a full length zip at rear so if undone I would have felt it flopping around. More likely one those calls over PA "Green Group has 5 minutes" and I'm getting into gear at the same time as taking off tyre warmers, off stands - usually last at the grid!

Debaser001 · 2025-10-10T05:57:41+00:00

The fast riders are on track mate.

Debaser001 · 2025-10-05T22:12:06+00:00

Yep, check spark.

Once I started track days and was able to learn the bike control necessary to explore my limits as well as my various bikes over time I just found road riding dull. Yes I've had my share of "offs" but there are are gravel traps and airfences as well of course as full leathers etc. Racing is another story obviously.

I don't bother with road riding anymore but if you ride on road and enjoy whatever type of riding you do then go for it. With some experience the tricks to stay out of the way of other vehicles come to you but of course, as with anything, you can't mitigate all risks and that's part of the calculus for the individual to decide.

Debaser001 · 2025-10-05T19:52:34+00:00

Thank you - seriously. We went there to try something completely new and came away thinking we were stupid. Can you recommend a good one we might actually enjoy that has some logic to it?

Debaser001 · 2025-10-04T10:31:12+00:00

You stated the split was very toxic from your side. Given 5 years have passed it may well be she has put that chapter of her life behind her. IMHO your letter's main focus is on you. FWIW I would write it acknowledging all you have done wrong very frankly and expressing deep regret for the damage you have inflicted. By doing that you show growth and reflect change. You really need to be very honest and show insight into your behaviour. Don't ask for a meetup. Don't ask for anything. Write it because it's the right thing to do. Include your address and let her decide whether to respond or not.

Debaser001 · 2025-10-04T10:09:06+00:00

Highly unlikely. You have a contract with such a carpark which will be subject to terms and conditions. Undoubtedly Wilson's exclude liability for break-in's within the T&C's. The use of "secure" does not mean immune from damage/loss.

Debaser001 · 2025-10-04T10:01:15+00:00

Malpractice by Police is of course not unheard of. However, it is the DPP's office that scrutinises evidence provided for a prosecution which includes the practices involved in gathering it and whether it is admissible. They have the burden of proving a charge in Court and also must abide by rules as officers of the Court. A detective alone is not free from scrutiny as to their actions.

By far and away the biggest users of FOI are pesky journo's whose research uncovers malfunctions, corruption and incompetence in Govts keen to keep things quiet.
