I've been given a ZXR400 for some work I'm doing for a friend. It runs and rides, even has an MOT, no way on earth it'll pass another at the moment! Stripped the faring and end can off to have a better look and it needs a new rear disc and tyre, possibly chain too, new end can, brake pads all round, probably numerous other bits. My only other Kwak was a KH250 back in those heady two stroke days so I expect I'll be asking a lot of obvious questions once I start fiddling with it (the bike that is).
Cheers, Alex

Stripped all the fairing off and the rear can, that looks very shabby. From what I can see she needs discs all round, they are so worn they have grooves in them, pads natch, a new fork seal, might as well do both, oil, filter plugs etc. Oh and tyres! When all that is done I'll respray the old girl in Kawasaki green.
It is a Jap import but I have been told it's derestricted and from my test ride I certainly believe it. Hit 10,000rpm and it just flies! Love it!!
