TEAMCAVE – Decal Stickers – Kawasaki 2014 Ninja 1000 (SX) – 20200607

Teamcave Ninja1000 Decals

Gave the awesome Ninja 1000 some personalisation treatment the TeamCave way. No special training by the way haha 🙂 Armed with a Vinyl cutter, cheapo software, some tools and some ideas. Basing the design on the WSBK ZX10RR Superbike. Wanted to make it a little different and really liked the full Yoshimura logo as seen below on […]

TrackDayz 20210302 – Collie

Address: 643 Powerhouse Rd, Collie Burn WA 6225 Friday 19th March 2021 At last a chance to come down to Collie and ride the new long circuit. It has been some 4 years or so since the last time we were down here. We left around 3pm on Friday and took around two and a […]

SUZUKI 2002 GSX-R750 Vehicle Record (SOLD)

I really think this bike really deserves a major TLC party, one of the forgotten gems of early 2000. Out gun the 600 and can pretty much hang off the tail of the 1000. The thinking back when was, why bother with a 750? Those stepping up to the bigger bore sports bike from lower […]

Bye Bye DEEPEST

A lot of fun was had on this superb example of the mid to late 2000’s Muscle Bike. To be honest I had more fun ‘pimping’ this machine up. Having a little sideline business https://cheapandtacky.com.au in creating diecut vinyl stickers, made this a whole heap easier. Everything could be customised and made to fit. It […]

SUZUKI 2002 GSX-R750 Front Caliper Rebuild

The Front and Rear Calipers are often very much neglected when carrying out a full service. These are the one component that deserves special attention especially on an older bike. This is a 20 year old bike next year. The calipers are not of the modern radial type and therefore less efficient so even more […]

SUZUKI 2002 GSX-R750 Purchase Report

Bought in December 2020. Louise was browsing and this beauty came up. The ad had only been up for 20minutes mind you. Now there may have been over new models up for sale but these gixxers come from an era when all the mid sized sports bikes did actually look different. A few little niggles […]

TEAMCAVE WORKSHOP – Heli Coil Fitment

Typical the worst happens when you need it urgently. Louise and I were to go on a jaunt down to Margret River for a break. As per the norm for a longer rider I go to fit the Topbox rack on the Ninja 1000. This time one of the rack bolts just has no grip. […]
