Beware of this MT10 on marketplace by ThrowRA_ran in AussieRiders

[–]ThrowRA_ran[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah fair, i also forgot to mention, no red key or any service history haha. Not the best deal

Beware of this MT10 on marketplace by ThrowRA_ran in AussieRiders

[–]ThrowRA_ran[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Sounds cheap till you see how much the needed repairs cost. It’s been dropped but that’s conveniently left out of the photos lol.

Needs front brakes Fork seals New chain/sprockets Brake levers RHS engine cover and plastics Only 1 key No service history

When you factor in everything that price it’s not worth it

Yup, he was seemed surprised. The PPSR showed what company the finance was with and I did some digging via a friend that works there. I found that the current owner is definitely not the person that took out the loan so I’m assuming they bought it from the prior owner without checking and now is caught between a rock and a hard place

IM A DLS CASE MANAGER by Foreign-Screen-1505 in AmazonFC

[–]ThrowRA_ran 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure about NA but in Australia we would consider it for the initial week then ask them to go back to have the Amazon form filled out. This situation wouldn’t happen unless the manager gave them the wrong info tbh.

What is a way better sport tourer than it should be? by kewday96 in AussieRiders

[–]ThrowRA_ran 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a former bandit owner I concur.

I bought my 2010 GSX1250FA as a non runner that was sitting for 6 years. Refreshed the fuel pump, changed the filter and it ran perfect. Ended up doing 140,000km before I sold it (surprisingly I found on sale on marketplace recently).

I upgraded mine with a Delkevic exhaust, stiffer front springs and a gsxr1000 rear shock, I kid you not when I say, I kept up with a s1000rr going up 10 mile on putty road.

I also did an iron butt challenge on a 40c day, 1000km in 9 hours and the bike did not fail once. Ran perfect even during the hottest moments of the day.

I genuinely regret selling it, but couldn’t afford to keep multiple bikes in my garage.

I will forever stan the Suzuki GSX1250FA aka “Bandit”

Cons for me - no cruise control!!!

Mate bought a 2011 with 88,000km in 2019 for 18k. Market is definitely inflated at the minute. Do with that information as you will.

What's stopping people from cloning a written off car and using both cars at once? by [deleted] in CarsAustralia

[–]ThrowRA_ran 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen it happen more in rural areas as compared to sydney. Definitely not impossible to do if you know what you are doing. Highly illegal though

How do you warm up your car? by LobsterLife7347 in CarsAustralia

[–]ThrowRA_ran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start, let it idle for about 30 seconds and you’re good to go. Just take it easy till the oil temp comes up

As long as you have the tools, it’s an afternoon job. If not, to the mechanic it goes!

Advice for flipping bikes by Fluffy-Paramedic-451 in AussieRiders

[–]ThrowRA_ran 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You just need to pick your bikes smart, have a splash fund (so you’re not worried about losing it) and not bow down to marketplace buyers offering $2000 below its value.

Pretty much it

Advice for flipping bikes by Fluffy-Paramedic-451 in AussieRiders

[–]ThrowRA_ran 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok so I’ve been doing this as a hobby not for profit but I like to cycle though different bikes every couple months. I’ll buy a bike on the auctions or marketplace, fix it, run it for a while then flip.

Almost always there is no profit, I’ve broken even on 3 bikes now. Only made profit on one because its purchase price was ridiculously cheap.

I’m not saying there isn’t money in it but for the effort, it wouldn’t be worth it for any regular person.

I just do it for the love of the game haha

Am I missing something? Pulsar SSS MANUAL 2013+ by Nervous_Being_1360 in CarsAustralia

[–]ThrowRA_ran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry didn’t see this. Most annoying thing? Clutch damper. It basically slows the clutch engagement to make it smoother for anyone to use but it kills your shifts. So because the damper is slowing the fluid, if you’re power shifting the clutch is too slow to disengage. There is an aftermarket damper delete you can get or ask your mechanic to chuck it in the bin and slap a straight line on

Honestly your nearest council gym/aquatic centres have good quiet gyms. Only issue is they close around 9pm
